Over the past few weeks, we’ve been learning about how our bodies change as we go through puberty and become an adult. We looked at the similarities and differences between male and female bodies and how to keep clean.
“I’ve learned that we grow hair in different places on our body.”
“I found out that girls have periods every month.”
“It was good to learn about how to keep clean and find out there are different deodorants.”
“It was helpful to look at different sanitary towels.”
Mrs Small, Mr Atkins and some children have been busy tidying up our garden. They came across lots of potatoes that were planted last year. So many potatoes were collected that we used them to make a potato salad which was made available on the salad bar at lunchtime for everyone- delicious!
Yesterday was extremely busy with loads of fun adventures. This is our last morning, with three more activities to go!
Year 6 are having a brilliant time at Robinwood. Yesterday, we did lots of activities such as climbing, giant swing and the Dungeon of Doom!
They’ve all slept well and are looking forward to another full day of fun!
Children from Years 3, 4 and 5 took part in the Brownlee Triathlon this week. The event started with swimming, followed by cycling and finishing with running. The children represented St James’ exceptionally well and we were very proud of them all.
“I enjoyed the swimming and I could see all the teachers pulling a ‘wow’ face which made me feel proud.” Harley
“It was great because everyone was cheering each other on. The swimming was my favourite part because I was the first person who made it all around the pool.” Leah

Our classroom was full of wonderful book characters yesterday to celebrate World Book Day. The children brought in the book they were dressing up from and they enjoyed sharing these with each other.
We enjoyed listening to MC Grammar’s rap- listen here.
How many books and characters can you spot in the rap?
