Stocksbridge Junior School

On the 16th March (Red Nose Day) I went to take part in the Y6 Athletics Final at the English Institute of Sport.  I am also in the Y5 school football team and I play for a Sunday league team, which is called Silkstone A team and do swimming lvl 12  and play for a tennis team. When school ended everyone was nervous. I went in Mrs Dawson’s car and it was about a 10 min drive. So far I have’nt even lost a race and i do the distence, hurdles, speedbounce and the mixed relay. My first race i came 3rd out of 8 then 1st then 2nd then 3rd.

On Friday 20th we had a theatre company called M&M, who performed the Wizard of Oz. The funniest part was when the munkchin kept on saying buy to the good witch. Softly, Dorothy started to sing ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’. She then put the puppet dog into the Year 3’s faces; it was like a fluffy cloud with black spots on it. The scarecrow was always running and doing flips, when Dorothy found him. It was amazing!!

On 20th April 2007 a theatre company came to SJS for the afternoon to perform the Wizard of Oz to the whole school. It was great all the way through but my favourite part was when the witch actually made a spark come out of her hand!

At playtime we go outside, play with our friends and eat our snacks. Some people play fooball but some don’t because they play other games. Most people can run as fast as cheaters because they are very fit. We have two different playgrounds one for the Y5 and 6s and one for the Y3 and 4s because it works easier to have two different yards. When the sun is shinning it is very very hot. One yard is bigger than the other.

On Monday 23rd of April we went to futsal it was at Goodwin and it storted at 10:oo. We took 7 players to play. We played four games and we won all of them! Sadly, after lunch, it all went wrong.  In the finals we lost all the three games and one was against our own school’s Y6 team. We came 4th out of 17 and it was a good day out!!!!!!!!

On the 21st-25th May our school will have our yearly Healthy Week.  Our favourite part from last year’s Healthy week was making fruit kebabs. You can have any healthy fruit in your kebab like strawberries, bananas, apple , water melon, melon and loads more. When you have finished you can take them home. You also do loads of healthy sports like hockey, cricket, skipping and loads more!

On the 21st of May Stocksbridge Junior School will be holding their annual heathly week. There will be sports coaches coming in to teach us fun sports such as: tennis, basketball, skipping and much much more. There will hopefully be a karate display too.  They are amazing; Healthy Week wouldn’t be the same without them!

I’m really looking forward to it!!

During our Healthy Week when we were in Year 3 , one class did an experiment to see what sugar does to our teeth.

This shows that to many fizzy drinks can damage your teeth.

Last week we each had a go at designing an outdoor playtime game . We had to make it not to hard not to easy and very bright and colourful . I did a very simple game , just throw a stone or a beenbag at 1,2,3,4,5,or 6 and that is the amount of steps you take. When you get to the finish you add up your points and see who has won.

Recently, Mrs Musgrave, our School Sports Co-ordinator, came in and did orienteering with us.  It was very fun we had to have a map and there were numbers on it an say if it said 27 we had to go and find it. We had to find them and then stamp them to show we did it it was a race to see who could come first.

IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!

On the 21st May 2007, the whole school are having a week of doing lots of healthy stuff, such as: making fruit kebabs, swimming, Badminton, Yoga and learning our ‘Healthy’ Science topic plus keeping diary’s of what you had to eaten for the past week. I hope it is as good as last year although the weather could be a little sunnier!

Last Tuesday (the 10th April 2007 to be precise) a theatre company called M&N productions came into school to perform the Wizard of Oz. It was an amazing performance. I really enjoyed it. The performance was just like the film and the scenery was brilliantly painted! The scarecrow did lots of acrobatics.
