Posted on Wednesday 13 July 2022 by Mrs Taylor

This week, our whole school homework is I can share my views about health.

We’re proud to be a happy and healthy school.

Each year, we ask you to complete a short health questionnaire. Your views can help us to become even happier and healthier.

Super Sports Day

Posted on Wednesday 06 July 2022 by Mrs Weekes

What an amazing day yesterday! Our first full sports day since the pandemic and we came back with an amazing bang! Mrs Taylor did a grand job of organising everything, as always, and all the helpers that made it run smoothly were brilliant. Mr Roundtree is a little croaky today after his commentating but I’m sure you’ll agree, it was well worth it. You will see a photo of Mrs Burke completing her final egg and spoon race as a member of staff but you never know, she might be guest of honour next year. Thank you to everyone who came along to watch!

Living and learning: drug education

Posted on Wednesday 06 July 2022 by Mrs Taylor

This half term, part of our Living and Learning focus includes drug education. We have arranged for visitors to come into school to help to deliver this key aspect of education. 

We have been working with d:side for many years and they will be visiting school to deliver sessions to all classes based around drug education on Monday 11 July and Wednesday 13 July.

 d:side is a comprehensive drug & alcohol education programme that encourages children to make positive & healthy life-choices whilst promoting a pro-active attitude to life. They focus on developing the children’s knowledge, skills & attitude, whilst equipping them with the appropriate life skills to successfully manage sensitive situations with peers & encourage a positive approach to life.

As part of this visit, Dave Hill, from d:side, will be available in the playground after school on Monday 11 July 3:05-3:30pm to answer any questions about this learning. 

Parallel and Perpendicular!

Posted on Monday 13 June 2022 by Mr Wain

In today’s maths lesson, our learning objective was:

What are parallel and perpendicular lines?

We learnt that…

parallel = lines that are opposite, equal distance apart and will never meet

perpendicular = lines that are at a right angle to each other

Part of our learning involved finding parallel and perpendicular lines in the playground.

Here’s what we found:

Can your child identify all the parallel and perpendicular lines in the photos above? Can they find any at home?

PE days this half term

Posted on Sunday 05 June 2022 by Mr Wain

Hi everyone,

Sadly, our gymnastic sessions on a Monday afternoon came to an end last half term.

Therefore, this half term, our PE days will be Wednesday and Thursday.

We will be swimming on a Wednesday, like usual. On Thursdays, we will be practising a range of different events in preparation for Sports Day!

Thanks!

Drop-down morning: History

Posted on Friday 27 May 2022 by Mr Wain

Each half term, we have a drop down morning where we revisit previous learning from previous half terms, terms and years!

On Wednesday, we had our History drop down morning.

Our first session was about chronology: we ordered periods of British history in chronological order.

Later on in the morning, we revisited recent learning about The Romans. This is what we were able to remember:

We ended the morning by playing a Kahoot about the Great Fire of London.

Well done to our winners Alasdair and Maya who got 9/10 correct and answered the questions the quickest!

Well done to everybody for their awesome remembering!

Brownlee Triathlon

Posted on Wednesday 18 May 2022 by Mrs Taylor

This week, some of our Key Stage 2 children took part in the Brownlee Triathlon. Sadly, this was minus the swimming as the event was running behind due to the wet weather earlier in the day.

‘I found the cycling easy but the running was harder.’ Olivia

‘I found it all really fun.’ Kian

‘I wish I hadn’t sprinted at the beginning because I didn’t realise there was more running!’ Christina

‘I was sad that we didn’t get to swim but still found it lots of fun!’ Edris

All the children behaved impeccably and showed great team spirit.

Thank you to the staff who took the children.

Living and Learning: Democracy

Posted on Thursday 05 May 2022 by Mr Wain

In our second Living and Learning session this half term, we learnt all about democracy.

We learnt about the origin of the word – It combines two shorter, Latin words: ‘demos’ meaning whole citizen living within a particular city-state and ‘kratos’ meaning power or rule.

We learned that our country is a democracy because people have the power to vote and make change in the country.

We also took part in our own democratic decision: voting for our reading champion.

First we decided what makes a reading champion – someone who shares what they’ve read with others enthusiastically, someone who recommends things to read, someone who completes the tasks in their reading record and records what they’ve read and more.

After that, we held a blind vote to determine our class reading champion.

The results were counted and our winner was… AVNEET!

Thoroughly deserved winner, Avneet, had this to say to help others who might struggle with being motivated to read…

Persevere with your book – if you start it and aren’t enjoying it straight away, don’t give up. Keep on reading because you might end up absolutely loving it!

Well done everyone!

Summer term after-school clubs

Posted on Thursday 05 May 2022 by Mrs Taylor

Edit: places can still be booked for after-school clubs.

We have spaces available on:

Tuesday – basketball Y4-6 now open to Y3

Tuesday – rugby Y1-3 now open to reception

Thursday – multi-games Y4-6 now open to Y3

After-school clubs will be restarting next week and they will run for eight weeks until week commencing 4th July. Places can be booked via Gateway.

Our physical activity clubs continue to be heavily subsidised through the investment of our PE and Sport Premium.

Each club has a limit on the maximum number of children who can attend. As numbers are limited we ask that you limit your child to one club initially. If there are clubs with remaining places, we will then offer these as a second club.

Please contact the office if you have any queries about the clubs or the booking system.
