2021/2022

School Dance Festival

Well done to all the children who took part in the School Dance festival show at the Marina Theatre Lowestoft on the 22nd June.

The children's performances were amazing and they worked really hard during practice sessions to perform at the show.

Crops 

This week at the farm we had to pick all the seeded crops and feed them to the animals.

It was a wet and muddy day but we all had a great time. We even got to meet the chickens.

Irrigation 

Irrigation is the agricultural process of applying controlled amounts of water to assist in the production of crops & to grow landscape plants & lawns.

We learnt about the process & the machine. When it came on the children had a lovely time getting wet. We also met some piglets.

Baby Lambs 

Last week at Clinks Farm we met baby lambs. The lambs we got to hold & cuddle were just one week old.

The children got to see the vets get ready to deliver a baby lamb but we missed it by 5 minutes.

We met all the animals & learnt how to care for them and how to feed them.

Orienteering 

Congratulations to the Y6 Orienteering teams who took part in the North Suffolk competition. Albert Pye finished 4th, 10th, 13th out of 26 teams. Everyone enjoyed both the physical and mental challenges that orienteering brought.

Piglets 

Last week at the farm we got to feed the baby piglets. They were very lively. We also had another Farm Olympic Games, Pick the vegetable celeriac and a throwing race to fill up the trailer on the tractor.

Cross Country 

On Friday, the children travelled to St Felix School for a cross country competition. They all ran exceptionally well and showed a fantastic spirit around the courses to ensure they finished in the highest position possible. They definitely earned their hot dog at the end!

Clinks Farm 

What a beautiful day to go to the farm!

Today at the farm the children had to help Farmer Doeke feed the animals.

The children also had to work as a team to move some heavy equipment around the farm and move the Christmas trees that the goats had finished eating. 

Clinks Farm

Farm Olympics Game today was a race between the blue team and orange team who can pick the most swede out of the ground into the coloured baskets. I am glad to say both teams worked very hard and it was a draw.

Congratulations to Leighton who picked the biggest swede.

Space Competition 

Very proud at Albert Pye today of all our fantastic entries in the space competition to celebrate the upcoming launch of the James Webb Telescope. An amazing variety of projects produced across the school!
