Buddy Time- Acrostic Poems

 
It was the turn of acrostic poems in Buddy Time today for one of the four groups. The Year 5 & 8s had to work together to create acrostic poems based around their names. Here are some of the buddies hard at work.

School Council MP Visit

 
On Friday 14th October the school council met Simon Hoare MP for North Dorset and had the opportunity to ask him some questions. The first thing we asked him about was what he felt were the best and worse things about being a Member of Parliament. He said the best thing was when he helped people and was successful at doing so, while the worst thing was just the opposite! It is when he is unable to help someone and is unsuccessful. Meaning that helping people is the best and at the same time worst thing about his job. 
Soon after we asked Simon Hoare what it takes to be an MP, he replied that you need to have a thick skin because sometimes when your party does something that people don't like they will be unkind to you on the internet on websites such as Facebook and Twitter. He also said you need to be a bit mad! 
The school council then asked about whether he likes our new Prime Minister Theresa May, if he thinks she is a good leader and also what he believes makes a good leader. He said that he thinks Theresa May is a very good leader and he also recalled how once he went on a campaign with her, which she remembers.

It was really interesting to find out more about our MP in my first activity as a school council member.

Friday Night Sleepover

 
The Year 5 sleepover was fun and enjoyable for all the Year 5 members! We started off by going to the amazing Ancient Technology Centre (click here to learn more about the ATC) where we explored the different buildings such as the Viking Longhouse and the Earth House. 
After that, there was more fun to come because tasty hotdogs and burgers were waiting for us to eat with our friends and family when we got back to school. Next, we had a little run around before we played a few games of jailball in our tutor groups. This was incredibly fun and tiring! 
Following these activities we heard a story from Mr Greetham; it was a funny story about a girl who lost her jumper and it also included a wizard! Some members of Year 5 helped out by taking on the role of characters in the story and acting out what happened, Mr Holmes even had a starring role! When the story finished we had some hot chocolate and mini marshmallows before setting up our beds for the night.
Finally, we watched a film while snuggled up in our beds for the night (boys in the gym, girls in the hall) and ate a few sweets, it was so fun! 
Eventually we fell asleep.

We all had a great time!

Buddy Time Challenges

 
Buddy Time was back on Friday, and brought with it a new set of challenges for the Year 5 & 8s to accomplish. This week saw one set of the groups tackling blindfolded drawing. Pupils needed to direct their buddy by explaining what they needed to draw while blindfolded. Here are some pictures of the attempts!

Sticky situations!

 
As part of our Tutor Day we have been looking at the Olympic and Paralympic values, and how we can display those values day to day. Click here to read about the values.
To start thinking about them today we have had several challenges to overcome, such as the Marathon challenge raising money for Julia's House, which is a fantastic charity. We have also undertaken a 'Great Spaghetti Challenge', in which teams needed to make the tallest tower using only spaghetti and marshmallows as their building tools. A great challenge which everyone got fully involved in and resulted in lots of very sticky hands and tables!
Here are some photos of the completed towers.
