Year 4 & 5 Taster Sessions

We were delighted to welcome over 100 Year 4 and 5 pupils from our local primary schools to Uplands Academy for a series of exciting Taster Sessions.

Held after school on Monday 13th and Wednesday 15th July, the sessions gave pupils the opportunity to experience a range of subjects and activities, including Sports Squad, Stage Stars, Tech Trailblazers, Art Aces, Creative Cooks and Code Creators.

Throughout the sessions, pupils enjoyed making cookies and pizzas, designing and building wooden cars, creating beautiful pieces of artwork using a variety of techniques, taking part in Kin-Ball and football activities, learning coding skills, and developing their confidence through drama improvisation workshops.

Mrs Purser, Senior Assistant Headteacher, commented: "It was fantastic to see how enthusiastically the pupils embraced these sessions. They were fully engaged throughout and clearly enjoyed the opportunity to explore subjects and activities that may not be available to them at primary school. We hope they enjoyed their taste of life at Uplands Academy, and we look forward to welcoming many of them back in the future when they begin their secondary school journey''.

A huge thank you to all of our staff who organised and delivered such engaging and inspiring experiences.
