• Whitehall and The World Cup Top Trumps

  Fri 22 Jun 2018 Josh L and Thomas P

  From Monday 18th June to Friday 22nd June some Year 5 and 6 pupils went to Whitehall and camped in tents for 4 nights. They had an amazing and adventurous time and participated in lots of exciting activities! The people that went to Whitehall were split up into 3 groups. They did many activities such as canoeing, abseiling etc. On the first night they went on a 4-5 mile walk.

  However, the people that didn’t go to Whitehall went into the Year 6 classroom and did many activities and here are a few of them. They learnt about the World Cup and where it is taking place. They tasted different foods from different countries around the world, such as Poland. They also made top trumps cards and they drew a massive picture of a mascot.

   

   

  

• The Daily Mile

  Mon 11 Jun 2018

  A Mile a Day Keeps the Doctor Away…

  At Anthony Bek, we always strive to do our best and stick to the Crusader code. Another important part of our ethos and determination, is to complete the Daily Mile and work hard to beat our times. Many children throughout school have already beat their time and are excited and motivated to continue to beat previous times. ‘The aim of The Daily Mile is to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances.’ https://thedailymile.co.uk/ Take a look at The Daily Mile website to find out more about the initiative and challenge yourself to do even more to keep yourself active and healthy.

  Let's see who makes the leader board this week!

• Philip Cox Sculpture Artist

  Tue 22 May 2018 Joshua L and Thomas P

  We’re ‘Phil’ of Good Ideas!

   

  On Tuesday 22^nd May 2018, Philip Cox, a Nottinghamshire artist, visited Anthony Bek to share his love and talent of sculpting with paper and card with Year 5. They created a cardboard figure called ‘Phil’. The class split off into groups to make different segments of his body and head. ‘Phil’ was based on a pupil and he will stand next to the trophy stand in the office area. We think you’ll agree; the work he does is amazing. Year 5 were really excited and Philip is still making amazing sculptures. This is a link to Philip Cox’s website. Take a look and see you if can have a go at sculpting something yourself. http://www.philipcox.co.uk/gallery.html.
