Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Year 6 have been developing characteristics for their crime stories as part of their English work. Today they got to dress up as part of their lesson and they loved it!
We can’t wait to read their finished stories!
The girls were fantastic last night…playing 5 and winning 5 in the girls league. Thanks to Mrs Clarkson and Mr Garner for helping out!
In Forest School this week, Year 2 played a game trying to work as a team to raise and lower a stick using just one straight finger…that’s harder than it seems!
They then learnt how to lash and bind sticks together to make a photo frame…SMILE!
Today EYFS went for a walk to see the Jersey cow farm. There were 300 cows and calves, all female. We saw the cows feeding, the calves taking milk, and the robotic milking machine at work. An amazing experience for our children and lots to talk about
World Book Day 2023!
On Wednesday 8th March, we are joining the Football Association (FA) in their campaign to ensure girls have the same access to football in schools and in clubs by 2024 as boys do.
#LetGirlsPlay is a call for change and we are keen to support this.
Research shared as part of the campaign shows that football is very popular amongst girls and that the numbers of girls engaged in football is continuing to grow. Whilst football is the most popular team sport for young people in England, only a third of girls aged 5-18 years participate each week. The research findings show that that 90% of girls that play, enjoy it, 60% of these girls that play football in schools want to play more and 91% of girls that don’t play, want the opportunity to do so.
Therefore, next Wednesday 8th March, the girls can come to school in their football kits (if they want to) and join in a whole hour of football in our MUGA with Mr Stell and Mrs Burcher.
This morning, our Well-being Warriors delivered our worship.
The theme of their worship was ‘Speak Out!’ They planned and delivered a PowerPoint and role play, discussing the importance of talking about your feelings and sharing worries…no matter how small!
They introduced the children to our new Worry Boxes and explained how there will always be someone to listen to them
Well done to our Well-being Warriors for planning such a thoughtful worship and showing the children that it’s good to talk!
Yesterday, EYFS went on their Walk and Talk to Charlotte's farm today, to help to plant a hedge. There was holly, blackthorn, hawthorn and others. We talked about how important hedges are for us and lots of bugs, birds and small mammals.
In Forest School this week, Year 2 talked about the trees and how some of them have been here for a long time. We thought about what they could tell us if they could talk and what sort of personalities they would have. We used clay and our outside treasures to give them a face for their personality.
Yesterday, a group of Year 3 pupils travelled to St Augustine’s High School, Billington, to take part in a LKS2 Gymnastics competition.
All of them had to learn a floor and vault routine and perform in front of judges and parents.
They were all a credit to themselves and the school and they should be proud of their achievements. Well done!
Our IT suite is currently a crime scene! Our Year 6 super sleuths will have to use their detective skills to solve the crime and report about it! I wonder what has happened…
