The last week in November 2009 has seen the children in Key Stage 2 taking part in a second House of Fun week. The curriculum-enriching activities have included music, design technology,art and dance. The theme this year has been "Wattage", as this is linked in with the aims of our Eco-committee. In year 3 music, the children were encouraged to re-write a well-known song and think of their own chorus. Year 4 children created an animal or cartoon character and slogan which would encourage people to turn off unwanted lights. In year 5, the children created their own townscapes with lights that matched their house colours. Finally in year 6, the children created their own dances to the song "Flash" by Queen.

 

 

The highlight of the week was Friday, when the House Captains stepped up to the mark to test their knowledge in University Challenge. This was followed by the judging of live performances of each house's entry in the dance and music competitions, and the awarding of prizes for the art and design entries.

 

All the children and staff have thoroughly enjoyed the week and are looking forward to House of Fun 3. Congratulations to Elm who are the overall winners this year.
