Stocksbridge Junior School

 Today a circus came to school we did all sorts of things like spinning plates,  juggling, stilts and pedals. The man who came worked at a company called JOKER. And we all took it in turns to play with each piece of equipment . Then we came out for dinner and went back in for another half an hour.Thankfully, Martin didn’t bring any circus clowns because Miss D is very scared of them!

The trick is to make it spin… Don’t try this one with your mum’s best china!

My, my how you’ve grown in the last 30 seconds!

Follow the leader, the leader, the leader…Follow the leader, the leader, the leader… 

How to balance a stick that’s double the height of you!

Gimme space, gimme space, I’m going to flip it…

In p.e this month we have been doing a very exiting sport called foots-all!In this sport you have to use a really hard ball and dribble it with the sole of your foot. Sometime this year there is going to be a foots-all tournament with one team as boys and one team as girls(i hope i make the team as i enjoy this sport very much

In y4 we have been doing tudor portraits. Y4 have been drawring tudor monachs. (Henry VIII) We could either do Mary I, Edward VI, Elizebeth I, Henry VIII or Henry VII. It was the best thing in y4’s tudor topic. We used a 2b drawring pencil. It was lots and lots of fun we couldn’t use colours so we had to shade in. First we had to decide which kind of paper to use, you could either use A4 or A3 paper. The Y4’s had a good time drawing and the pictures are great! When they have been mounted, we’ll post a picture for you to appreciate them too!

On Tuesdays, various Y6 and Y5 children travel down to Stocksbridge Leisure Centre. On the ground floor, in the basketball court, the children vigorously train for field and running events. The field events include: seated throw, target throw,  long jump and high jump. Running events sited there involve: relay racers in several varieties, along with sprinting and distance. Training finishes at 3:10.

We hope all of their hard work pays off next week at the Sheffield Schools Indoor Athletics Final! Good luck to them all.

On Friday, both football teams headed down to Sheffield Wednesday’s Middlewood ground-our mission to secure a place as the team representing them in the regional finals.

The y6’s started well, winning both their opening games 1-0 ; unfortunatley one of these was against the y5’s. Despite their early defeats, the y5’s fought on to gain a place with the y6’s in finals.

The first semi-final was not between us and it went right down to penalties. Then it was our turn. The y6’s gained an early lead and managed to hold on for a win. Sadly, this put the y5’s out of the competition.

Then came the final- y6’s to do us proud. But that was not to be. Despite a flurry of goal chances at the end, they lost.

Lee Bullin, a Wednesday 1st team player, handed out the certificates and we went back to school for a normal afteroon.  

 In Y6 there are many different lessons that take place including: English, maths, RE, PE, Geography, History and many more! After being in this school for many years now i have learnt a lot about the subjects we have covered!!! i loved making our DT fairground move in ICT.
