Today we managed to raise £60 on our ice pop sale so thank you so much to everyone who bought one. Some children were too excited to eat their ice pops that they didn’t want a photo. We know some children had forgotten their money so please don’t worry, we will be selling ice pops again next week. -Miss Blackham
Last Friday in KS1, and this morning in KS2, we had the inspirational and extraordinary Ray Matthews – a true role model!
Ray is an avid sportsman and a national icon, due to the astonishing achievements he has accomplished and vast amount of fundraisers he has done during his 79 years.
In a few weeks Ray turns 80, and 80 schools, will be completing 80 miles to raise money for Rays chosen charity Age UK! https://www.peoplesfundraising.com/donation/rays808080birthdaychallenge
As a school we see the importance of physical activity and exercise, and therefore from Monday we will be making a stand as a whole school crew, to complete the daily mile every single day – all children and all staff!
Check out the the truly astonishing video of Ray below!
Work hard – Challenge yourself – Get active – Feel great!
Yesterday in Year 1 we launched the Dream Big project, which is aimed to aspire and engage children about what they would like to be when they’re older!
This morning in academic crew, after our feelings check in. Crew Attenborough completed a problem solving task as part of our check in activity, they had 3-minutes to complete it…
After a really good effort, the children had identified it was an elephant. Although a little dismantled, we revealed the model and then gave 1-more minute for them to complete it.
And heres the outcome… top effort crew!
We then discussed how communication, collaboration, perseverance and resilience are key skills to have when working hard!
This morning in “We Care Wednesday Crew’ Mrs Cresswell kindly shared some of her expertise and made our children in KS1 aware of what being deaf or hearing impaired is like and how we cca support them.
Here is a link the children enjoyed watching to learn more about the deaf and hearing impaired.
It was fabulous to see the children trying lots of different fruit as part of our healthy eating activities. First they thought about a balanced diet, looking at the different food groups. Then came the tasting…
look how well they did,
We then created our own biscuit pizzas, using our favourite fruits. Yummy.
