• Year 3/4 Arts Theatre Trip

  Fri 15 Mar 2024

  On Wednesday, Year 3 and Year 4 went to Cambridge Arts Theatre to see The Boy In The Back of the Class.  The show was a brilliant retelling of the story and the children were captivated by the story of Ahmet, a Syrian refugee.  We were hugely grateful for the support of Gen S’s Mum in coordinating with Corn Exchange so we could use there as a base before the show and for our lunch time.   In the afternoon, the children took part in a Scavenger Hunt to locate different Cambridge landmarks.  They used maps to work out the most efficient route and also collected data linked to number of pedestrians/traffic to use as part of their Geography learning.

  

• Explorify Competition Year 5

  Fri 15 Mar 2024

  The children in Year 5 have ‘wowed’ us all with the work they did at home as part of this competition. Their task was to create a scientific piece of art. Thank you to all those parents/carers who joined us for the ‘exhibition’ after school earlier this week. The work was stunning and represented such a lot of different types of art and branches of science. We will be announcing the winners in assembly next week but it is so tricky as children, parents/carers and other family members have excelled themselves with their thought, effort and imagination!

• Book Week

  Fri 08 Mar 2024

  It has been a great week at HIPPS celebrating World Book Day!  Families have been very kind donating books for our library via our Amazon Wishlist.  Staff and children very much enjoyed dressing up on Thursday 7th March for World Book Day. Children all took part in our HIPPS Book Swap event so took home a book donated by a classmate.  We also very much enjoyed inviting families in for reading mornings.  Thank you for joining us.

  Reading is such a huge part of our curriculum so it was wonderful to spend so much time enjoying books.
