Class 5 have enjoyed Music Bugs sessions in the hall every Wednesday during spring 1st half term. We sang songs with puppets and instruments. We all loved singing songs with the sensory snake and giant scrunchie band. We also danced with scarves and pom poms. We were very proud to hear our much the course leader has enjoyed working in our school!

On Friday 20th January we celebrated Chinese New Year in school.
EYFS learnt a song and made lanterns, KS1 made Chinese dragons, LKS2 researched the Year of the Rooster and UKS2 found out key facts about Chinese New Year.
[Slideshow "chinese-new-year" not found]The whole school designed and decorated a kite for Chinese New Year but unfortunately for once Tow Law had no wind on Friday 20th January! This meant that we had to wait until a later date to fly the kites but you can see from the photographs below that the children had a fantastic time flying the kites (despite the many tangled kite strings!).

If U Care Share Day
If U Care Share Foundation came into school on Thursday 2nd February to work on a project aimed at developing the way children understand and develop their feelings and emotions.
The children learnt about different emotions and got tips from ‘Sammy the Squirrel’ to understand them.
Matthew, the project co-ordinator, sent a follow-up email to Mrs Jackson saying ‘thank you for last Thursday, we thoroughly enjoyed the day and we hope the kids did too! They certainly were a credit to the school’.

On Friday 27th January we had visitors in school from the RSPB. They came into school to teach our children about Hen Harriers and the issues facing them. To begin the day, the children had an assembly to explain what Hen Harriers are, where they live and what problems are facing them.
[Slideshow "rspb-assembly" not found]The children then had the chance throughout the day to take part in a workshop which looked at their habitat and the issues facing them in more depth.

A Robinwood Report – From the eyes of a child.
Robinwood is a place full of fun activities such as: The Giant Swing, the Piranha Pool and many, many more! I will share some of the activities and talk about what happens.
When we arrived there we were introduced to our team leaders and split into two groups. My team was River Team and our leader was Tom, he was a funny guy, good at joking! The other team were called Valley Team, and their team leader was Matt, he was funny and kind too! Then we went on a long walk ( about 40 minutes) and everybody’s legs were tired, but once we got there, we were fine!
The Dormitories
The dormitories were places where the groups would sleep overnight, we also put our luggage there. My dormitory was called Stoats and there was, me, Bailey, Kieran and Ethan in our room. Also, you got hot chocolate and a biscuit before bed too, YUM!
The Giant Swing
The Giant Swing was out first activity, it was amazing! I have a fear of heights but I went over half-way. When you reached the height you wanted the other children ( and adults ) would shout, “ 1,2, pull on Poo!” Poo is a teddy which you pull on and the swing goes flying into the air and you swing very high.
The Dungeon of Doom
The Dungeon of Doom is a group activity where only one group comes out, it’s a place full of riddles and puzzles and you had to work in a group to solve them! As you progressed, the challenges would get harder and have more puzzles, so you really have to pay attention! There’s a finale where the groups have to join a race to see which team’s best at solving puzzles.
The Piranha Pool
The Piranha Pool is also a place full of puzzles but this time, you had to go back and forth through the pool and work together to solve the code and get out of the room where the greedy piranhas were waiting for their snack. But you couldn’t step in the corners of the pool or you would release the hungry little beasts! You also have a time limit before they get released, be quick!
The Crate Challenge
The Crate Challenge is epic, you and your three team members have to work together to get to the highest point possible! My highest point was 9 crates, if you fall you just dangle and you could swim in mid-air and everything! It was so cool and was one of my favourites.
The Trapeze
This was an absolutely amazing challenge! You worked with your team who held ropes to support you on a climbing wall, this in turn led to a platform where you could either slide off the edge or bend your knees and catch the trapeze. It was my favourite task of them all, it was EPIC!
I have given you a flavour of Robinwood, I JUST HOPE YOU GET TO GO AND EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF. I JUST WISH I COULD RETURN.

We hosted a Scholastic book fayre at school during the a full week. It started on Monday November 28 until Thursday 1 December where the book fayre was an integral part of our Christmas Fayre. A group of year 6 children ran the fayre with adult support and this experience helped them grow in confidence, as they needed to calculate bills, help their customers, set up the books, organise the books and then pack away each day.
The children managed to sell £434 worth of books and this meant the school could get the equivalent in free books for the school. In this respect all children benefited as we bought a range of books for all classes, so thank you to everyone who supported the book fayre.

Congratulations to everyone who took part and achieved their bike ability certificate and qualification.

Baring Court Carol Singing
Our KS2 choir always thoroughly enjoy going to Baring Court to perform a range of songs for the residents and this year was no different. The children sang a selection of songs; traditional Christmas songs combined with songs from our recent Christingle service and the KS2 Christmas production. The residents were thrilled and following the performance the children enjoyed some juice and sweets. Staff at the school said it was a pleasure to go and sing in the community and a great experience for the children.
