Welcome to the first

Roman Topic thing so they couldn't be used

again. For homework before the

topic children were asked to make

their own roman shields. It was

hard but lots of fun!

Year 5 and 6 have recently

started a new topic about

Romans.

The topic started with a Roman

soldier , ‘Quintis Cornelius’ who

came in to talk about the

formations the army made to

protect themselves and told us

some facts like the javelins they

threw were known to break when

they hit enemies. That was a good

Jigsaws

As an addition to the new year at Padiham Green, a jigsaw has been added to the ks2 area. There are unique pieces for every class to earn. So far year 4 and 6 have earned a piece each for set-tling in well and thier team work at Tower Wood. You can earn pieces for being responsi-ble, reading regularly at home, showing good behaviour and working as a team. By the end of this half-term hopefully every class will have a piece!

you dared to be an individual you

were brainwashed.

They sang lots of music like will we

rock you, radio gaga and we are the

champions which are famous songs

by Queen. Everyone sang along and

really enjoyed themselves.

Especially Mr Dixon.

It was lovely to see some of our old

pupils from Padiham Green at break

time and we all got drinks and

biscuits.

Good luck to all the children at

Padiham Green this half term

competing to get the best attendance.

With prizes like this we will all want

to be in school everyday and on

time.

On Tuesday before half term, year

6 and year 2 went to we see Will

rock you at Shuttelworth College as

a treat for having the best

attendance.

After a short walk up the

Greenway, they arrived and were

seating in the great auditorium.

What happened was a play about

two people that loved to sing

music. They were on another planet

where music had been banned and

no one caoulf write their own

tunes. You could only listen to

radio GAGA and follow the

fashion rules of the Killer Queen. If

We Will Rock You!

and the largest ever found

That’s as big as the span

of an adult hand!

Josh’s Animal Corner This section of the paper will is

where you can find out all

about animals and their weird

and wonderful ways.

The titan beetle is a giant

insect. This magnificent

monster lives in the

jungle in south America

This term Year 2 have been

learning all about keeping clean.

They had a visit from the school

nurse who talked to them about

washing their hands and taught

them how to brush their teeth

properly!

Did you know you must brush your

teeth for 2 whole minutes!? You

must not use mouthwash if you are

a child and change your brush

regularly.

Donna the nurse brought a UV light

into school which showed up bits

of lotion the children hadn't washed

off properly. It was very

interesting!

Wash Your

Hands!

WATCH THIS SPACE: Mr Dixon has just come back from a very exciting educational

trip to China. He’ll be telling us all about it in the next issue!

Family Projects

This year has started with the

same style as last year when it

comes to being creative!

Over half term a few classes

were asked to make some

models at home with the help

of their families.

Year 1& 2 made some fabulous

rockets and year 5&6 made

Roman shields!

Everyone put in such a great

effort at home so well done.

Sports and Achievements

Knock Knock, Who’s there? Boo, Boo Hoo? Hey, there’s no need to cry! What do you get if you cross a sheep and a kangaroo? A woolly jumper.

What’s green and red and goes round and round and round? A frog in a blender.

For the start of this new

academic year, we have

already started going with

the Sports and

Achievements sector.

Recently, we’ve had a Tag

Rugby tournament and we

won... a VERY small cup. Also

the Athletics Club has started

and we have some good

news...from a source, everyone

is doing great! Hopefully the

sports

continues as

the term

rolls out.

Big thanks to Mr Gardiner

who has started up his sports

and reading club. People who

don’t always love to read are

really getting into a sports

themes reading programme

which is great fun!

Charlie Walker has won

the bleep test record this

week in an astonishing

45.2.

This is a great record

which many people are

trying to beat!

How many words can you

make with these letters...?
