Year 5 trip to Cadbury!

On Friday 11th March, year five ventured off to Bourneville in Birmingham to visit Cadbury World. Starting off deep in the heart of the Aztec Jungle, the children learnt all about the history of chocolate, and the build up of the Cadbury brothers' company! With a trip round the actual factory, a very sticky tasting session and a Bean to Bar talk, we came away with a really good understanding of the process of making Chocolate! We even got to visit the 4D cinema and go on a roller coaster of an adventure with the Mini Egg parrot! Snd, to top it all - free chocolate bars to bring home! A fabulous visit!

Thank you to everyone who supported our book fair.

World Book Day

Silverhill certainly knows how to enjoy a dress up day! On Thursday 3rd March we all came to school as some of our favorite book characters to celebrate World Book Day and to show off our love of reading great texts! With the staff coming as our very own Duncan and his crayons from the wonderful 'The Day the Crayons Quit' by Oliver Jeffers, they started the day with a very colourful Take 10. Children came in some wonderful creations; from Elmer to an Umpa Lumpa and Mary Poppins to the Scarecrow the children made a fantastic effort. Thank you to all the mums, dads and families who helped with the costumes!
