A Firth Beamish Wild.JPGIn September last year FWD went to Beamish Wild to learn more about birds of prey for their school project.
At Beamish Wild FWD were helped by Jamie a member of the Beamish Wild staff. He answered a lot of the class's questions. The group then saw a bird show which included golden eagles, black kites, peregrine falcons and even owls. While learning about those fantastic birds there was a wedding on and one of the birds went and grabbed the tiara of the bride class FWD has a good giggle about that!
The class was allowed to hold the birds. They also cut up chicks for the peregrine falcons dinner. Then it was lunchtime. Then FWD sat down for lunch and were invaded by chickens climbing up and pecking at their bread and crisps while wasps swarmed around chocolate, fruit and pepperoni.
Elena Jackson said, "Beamish Wild was adventurous and it was interesting seeing different sort of birds." While Leon McDonald said Beamish Wild was 'really exciting' and he wasn't scared about the birds flying over his head and almost clawing it.
It wasn't all about birds the class also got to go on zip wires, wobbly bridges and even tree swings.

Thank you to all those families who were able to return a completed questionnaire this week. We are delighted with the level of trust, your responses suggest, you have in how hard we work and how we care about every child in our school.
There were a couple of concerns expressed - as ever I would invite any parent wishing to talk further about points raised, to make an appointment to come and see me.

Here are the results in detail:-

A Firth As mentioned in last weeks Heroes Assembly, we have a fantastic group of Y5 children who have 'asked' if they can volunteer some of their breaktimes to help out on the infant yard.

They will be wearing BLUE CAPS and are happy to create games for younger children to join - or simply have a sit and a natter if needed!

This visual timetable shows which of the Playground Buddies are available during each breaktime.

After many weeks of planning we have now selected the first members of our Press Pack. There was lots of interest so we decided to select eight children to train up this term, before opening it up to a new group of intrepid reporters during the summer term.

Our aim is to work with the expert guidance of Ms. Cornish, to establish groups of Press Pack children who will be self sufficient in identifying a story, researching it and presenting their findings on this website for the WHOLE WORLD to see!

We will also bee producing a monthly newsletter (for a bargain price) to share the 'pupil view' of life at High Spen Primary School.

If you have a story which you'd like the Press Pack to investigate, why not e-mail them at their private address - presspack.highspen@gmail.com
