What a start!

By Mr Pickering5th January 2021

Despite the sudden switch to online learning, there have already been some excellent, creative examples of home learning for our new expedition ‘Is London still burning?’. Thank you to everyone who managed to get online today and have a go at some of the tasks. The live check-in will be at 9am tomorrow morning and then the live lessons will follow throughout the day. Please try and join us if you can. If you are having technical problems, please get in touch and we will help where we can.

Well done to Laci-Maee, Shayen and Tim in particular for you hard work today.

I hope to see you all again tomorrow!

KS1 Version of The Snowman

By Karen Coward17th December 2020

In our English lessons over the last week we have looked at the book The Snowman by Raymond Briggs, as this is a picture book we put our own narrative to it. We thought you might like to see your children in action! Please note that if your child is not on the video, this is because they chose not to be videoed.

Enjoy

Merry Christmas Everyone

17th December 2020Karen Coward

What a fabulous day we have had in Key Stage 1. It started with Mrs Ogle, Santa and their helpers on the gate – the children loved this and it was fabulous to see their smiling faces as they came into class. We then took part in a quiz, watched The Snowman (we have been looking at the picture book in English – a video of this will follow), and then the fun and games began.

Is Mr Pickering singing or in pain? I will let you decide 🙂

I want to say how proud I am of my class. They have been absolutely brilliant these last few days when the timetable goes a little hectic with Christmas activities. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all a fabulous Christmas. I look forward to seeing you all in 2021.

100% Attendance Winners

By Joshua Meade17th December 2020

Massive congratulations and shout out to these superstars for having 100% attendance this half term!

It is so important for each and every child to come to school each and every day… just having one day off school impacts children’s learning and attendance massively in the long term (and you get some nice treats)!

Well done to Jan, Rahand, Ethan, Roscoe, Ellie, Lena, Conor, Vivan, Aliza, Nelly, Peyton and Ryley for coming to school every day… keep up the amazing attendance! Enjoy your rewards.

Good evening 1M!

If your superstar has come home a little giddy or tired today, here is perhaps why…😅they’ve been quizzing, craft making, playing, watching a film, eating party food, Christmas partying, pass the parcel, musical bumps, dancing, Christmas corners and had lots and lots of goodies!

To every child and grown up, I would like to wish you are a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! Here’s to hopefully a bit more normality in 2021 and seeing you all back safe and smiley faced in January! You are all doing amazing, keep going, be kind, stay safe and enjoy.

Finally, I would just like to say a massive thank you to all my superstars for all their hard work and learning since starting back in September! Thank you grown ups for your continued support and communication throughout! I have been well and truly spoilt with all your cards and gifts… but most importantly for having the best and such a special class of children!

Merry Christmas!

By Mr Pickering17th December 2020

We’ve finally made it after a long and eventful term! The children have had a fabulous Christmas in school and it rounded off what was a term of dedication and hard work. They have enjoyed their party at school today and played plenty of games (and won plenty of prizes!). To round it all off, they are taking home a sleigh bell from Santa’s sleigh after reading The Polar Express. Children with 100% attendance also earned an extra reward. Well done everyone!

Thank you to everyone for your support this term. Have a great break and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year.

Merry Christmas!
