FUN RUN IN THE SUN

On Thursday Year 4 went to Coopers to do a fun run. We had to wear pink t shirts and line up in row D. Before we did the run we did some stretching and some dancing. Then we were allowed to go to the starting line and when they blew the whistle we started to run a one mile fun run.  We had great fun.

Assembly

We were celebrating a rather important birthday in assembly today. Crowns have been made, and Raps were performed in honour of Her Majesty.

There's been lots of other activity this week, check out the Twitter feed @UpminsterJS for picnics and non-uniform day.


Two pupils were out of school to attend a poetry workshop at this week. They read their poetry, which had a heathy lifestyle theme, to the school.

Science demonstration

This week's Coffee Morning was led by Mrs Latheron, Head of Science. Her Laboratory Assistants, dressed in Red White and Blue for the 90th birthday celebrations,y entertained the crowds.

Mrs Latheron's team of scientists

YR4 student Mitchell demonstrated how a flame uses oxygen.

Jack demonstrated what happens if you mix a mint with cola (watch carefully at 0:14 & 0:45 seconds):

Ruby demonstrated how cornflower and water can be both liquid and solid to some younger siblings. She'll be halfway through her secondary school career before they're in the Juniors.

Never too young for science 

Isabella's experiment demonstrated the properties of water - however, the practical demonstration involved some audience participation - and they all got rather wet!

The PA team watch the experiments

UJS appreciate the tireless support of the Parents' Association. Many thanks to all who came to the event, hosted by the PA in aid of the Essex Air Ambulance.
