Yr 4 Egyptian Days

The children had great fun learning about the

Egyptians with a dress up day and a visit to Bristol

Museum. Both experiences were fantastic. Firstly, the children got to learn how to belly dance, try exotic foods and make some of their own Tutankhamen style headdresses. Thank you to parents for providing costumes for the children to dress up in and make the day a success.

On the museum trip, the year 4 pupils were able to see genuine Egyptian artefacts as well as take part in a workshop that required them to map read, detect, question and solve a mystery about artefacts found along the River Nile. Everyone was also excited to explore the other exhibits including art work, minerals, fossils, animals and sea dragons.

Make A Noise About Bullying

During anti-bullying week we have been creating our own songs with different tag lines to make a noise about what we believe in. All the children have thought hard about how we can continue to make our School a

Bully Free Zone.

Paulton Junior School PTA Update – November 2015

Welcome to the first PTA update for 2015/2016.

Money raised this year ......

The Junior School would like to use some of the money raised through the PTA this year towards Outdoor Learning resources, this will include plans to build an outdoor classroom / shelter and provide outdoor play equipment for the whole school to use. In addition money raised will also support the school library with much needed books for all year groups.

Cinema Night got us off to a great start.

188 children enjoyed the film and snacks and over £500 was taken on the night !

That’s a lot of popcorn ...thank you to all the parents and teachers who helped with this event, and to all the children who came along.
