Stone Lodge Academy

Congratulations to all of our Key Stage 2 superstars on their fantastic effort and achievements at Sports Day today! ⭐️

They showed incredible energy and enthusiasm all throughout the day, from the multi-sports activities in the morning, including javelin, long jump and hurdles, right through to the sack races, sprints & egg-and-spoon races of the afternoon.

An especially big thank you to Mrs Read, ably assisted by her team of Year 11 helpers, for organising and hosting another excellent event. We would also like to thank all of our Stone Lodge families who turned out once again to cheer on and support the students.

What a wonderful day of sport, teamwork and achievement! 🏅🎉👏

A team of Key Stage 2 students travelled to Ipswich School Sports Centre today to take part in a Tennis Skills Panathlon event.

Throughout the day, the children enjoyed a range of exciting activities designed to develop their racket & ball coordination skills.

They got to navigate an obstacle course whilst practising their balance and agility, and also had the opportunity to try floor tennis and take part in a variety of target games.

The students showed great enthusiasm, determination and teamwork throughout!

Another fun and educational humanities visit took place today! This time, our Cheetah and Leopard classes visited Christchurch Mansion to take part in a Victorian workshop and discover what life was like during that era.

As well as exploring the historic house and dressing up in authentic Victorian costumes, the children learned how to use traditional kitchen equipment to wash clothes and make their own butter. They also enjoyed taking part in a deportment lesson, giving them a fascinating insight into the manners and expectations of Victorian society!

As part of their Humanities studies on medieval castles and life in the Middle Ages, Puma Class visited Orford Castle today.

During their visit, the students explored the castle grounds and discovered many of its historical features, including the stocks, the battlements, and the castle chapel where they took turns standing in the pulpit and reenacting prayers from medieval times.
