Fri 27 May 2022We think you will all agree that our children look wonderful today all donned out in their red, white and blue colours to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. Thank you so much to those of you who donated to the Food Bank, we had over 4 trolleys worth of goodies!
We have had the most wonderful week for Art Week and we can't wait to welcome you later for our Art Exhibition where we will showcase all of the Art we have been working hard on this week. It certainly feels like the Jubilee celebrations have arrived early here at GBPS!
Have a wonderful half term once it arrives - long may this beautiful sunshine continue :-)

Year 5 Butser Farm Trip
Fri 20 May 2022Year 5 had a fantastic trip to Butser Farm today to learn about the Saxons. They took part in activities such as jewellery making, clunching (making Saxon cement), pottery and a tour of the Saxon and Roman houses. The staff at Butser Farm were so impressed with how well-mannered and hard-working the children were, so they should be very proud of themselves. Take a look at the photos to find out more...

Year 6 SATs treat - Go Ape
Fri 13 May 2022Year 6 had a cracking time at Go Ape today celebrating the end of their SATs week. They fully immersed themselves in all of the activities on offer and let off lots of steam as they courageously swung from rope to rope in amongst the trees. The Treetop Adventure course proved to be quite a challenge, yet every single child plucked up the courage to face their fears and enjoyed the exhilarating zip wire at the end of the first trail. There were lots of children who felt out of their comfort zones but with a little encouragement, they blew our socks off with how determined they were to conquer their worries and reach the end with a huge sense of achievement. The children also took part in a Gorilla Games session where they used their teamwork skills in a variety of games. The Go Ape team brought lots of fun and energy to the activity and were absolutely fantastic at supporting the children through the day.
We are so pleased that they all enjoyed a wonderful day and well deserved treat. The Year 6 children have been absolutely incredible this week; we are SO proud of their mammoth determination to succeed, superb Growth Mindset and never-ending perseverance to demonstrate how brilliant they are. We hope they are feeling very chuffed of themselves for all they have achieved this week.
Here is a collection of photos for you to see how much fun we had.

THE COLOSSAL CRASH OF THE IRON MAN by Thea G
On Tuesday 3rd May 2022, Year 3 were having a calm English lesson when Mrs Zamin (Hazel class’ LSA) banged on the door and reported “There are lots of metal pieces scattered all over the playground!” She couldn’t get over the thought of the Iron Man.
Year 3 investigated Mrs Zamin’s report and there were exactly 54 metal pieces scattered all over Great Binfields Primary Schools main playground. Year 3 still don’t know exactly who it was but year 3 estimate it was the Iron Man. While Year 3 were investigating, they found more clues to crack this case.
We reviewed Mr Ellis (Site Assistant) and he said, “I heard some noises like clunking and crashing on the 2nd May 2022 at night.” On 3rd May, however, Mrs Lee (admin assistant) replied, “I smelt car oil - you know the oil you put in cars.”

A buzz of Science in Year 4
Fri 06 May 2022This afternoon, Y4 finished their first week back after Stone Farm with a Science session. The Year 4s were tasked with combining all the components accurately to make a working electrical circuit. We knew the word circuit linked to a roughly circular shape - this helped us to think about what we would need for our electrical circuit to flow correctly. We used crocodile clips, wires, bulbs, batteries and casings. Once we saw those bulbs shining bright, it was time for some challenges! Some 'I wonder if ...' statements really got us thinking, as we tested what happens when more bulbs were added or the order of components were changed.
As you can see by these photos, Y4 loved their Science this afternoon. I wonder what next week will bring!

Y3 Iron Man Landing
Tue 03 May 2022STOP PRESS!
After hearing loud clatters and clanks on the school playground, Y3 stumbled to the courtyard to find a smattering of steel pieces, thought to belong to Ted Hughes' Iron Man. There was a buzz of excitement and apprehension as they frantically collected the pieces and hypothesised which of the Iron Man's parts they may have been. They then interviewed key eye-witnesses such as Mr Ellis and Mrs Lee and took journalistic reporter's notes. They will spend the next two weeks writing up their blog reports which will then be published on this very website so watch this space!
