Yellow crew disco!

11th December 2024Mr Schofield

Yesterday, yellow crews enjoyed a belated reward for their efforts during the summer term (you may recall we postponed it due to bad weather), in the form of a disco! The children had a great time and should be proud of how hard they worked at their HoWLs during the summer term to earn this reward.

It was also lovely to note that all three crews received an award for coming top of crew coins for the terms of last year. ☺️

Year 5 & 6 nativity costumes

6th December 2024Miss Blackham

We do not want parents to have to buy anything new for the nativity.

We are asking pupils to wear the following (if possible).

Pupils who have a part as Mary to wear a plain dress.

Pupils who are playing Joseph to wear their school uniform and to bring in a tea towel.

Pupils in sparkle and shine to wear party wear.

Pupils in the boyband to wear a tracksuit and hat.

The angel to wear a dress.

The remaining children to wear christmas jumpers.

Please do not worry if you feel what you have does not fit the above criteria, we will be flexible with the costumes as the most important thing is your children having fun and making memories!

Please can we ask costumes are in school no later than Tuesday.

5S Cam Toys

6th December 2024Mr Schofield

Over the past few expedition lessons, 5S have been demonstrating their knowledge of mechanisms by producing a cam toy which causes a planet to rotate.

They had to carefully build a box which symbolised the blackness of space, paint a ball to a planet of their choice, then assemble an intricate cam and follower mechanism inside which converts the motion into a rotation of the planet.

Well done, the finished products look brilliant!

The Christmas Story

3rd December 2024Mr Schofield

Today, Years 5 and 6 welcomed a visitor who helped us to consider the true meaning of Christmas, encouraging children to be thoughtful about the important things during the festive period.

Well done for your amazing engagement and to those who shared their thoughts and opinions – it was really encouraging to hear your ideas.

Year 5 & 6 nativity

28th November 2024Miss Blackham

Our school nativity will be held on the 12th December at 2pm… we have decided to put our performance on the same day as the school fayre to avoid parents having to book two dates off work.

If you would like tickets, please email [email protected] with the amount you would like. We only have 120 tickets available 🙂

5S developing their netball skills

28th November 2024Mr Schofield

5S have enjoyed their focus on netball over the past few weeks, working on the skills required to win the game. Today, they worked on developing decision making, passing and receiving skills, and explored the importance of communication.

It was great to see the full class in attendance and participating fully, well done!
