Listening Walk

16th April 2024Mrs Lewis

Today in 2L , the children made themselves an extra pair of listening ears and we went on a listening walk to find out what we could hear in school. We crept around and heard all sorts of sounds including cutlery clattering in the hall, birds tweeting outside, doors banging and the jazzy music coming from Y6. The children were really quiet and were shocked by what they could hear when they really tried to concentrate.

We are going to turn these noises into expanded noun phrases and write our very our sound poem. We’ll make sure to blog our final work.

Danum Read Aloud

28th March 2024Mrs Graves


Last night I had the privilege of supporting Johnny (year 5) at the Danum Read Aloud Competition held at the Danum Art Gallery and Museum.

Johnny performed his piece with real confidence and and lovely expression, despite recovering from a sore throat!

The competition was tough and the prize was won by a girl from another school, but Johnny remained upbeat and positive – a real credit to our school!

Well done Johnny, we couldn’t have been prouder of you!

Danum Read Aloud Competition

14th March 2024Mrs Graves

After a rigorous round of heats and a highly competitive semi-final, our Read Aloud Finalists really did themselves proud!

Reading the openings from a variety of books, they performed in front of the KS2 children with great confidence and to a very high standard.

It was a very difficult decision to choose a winner but I am very pleased to announce that Johnny Connor in 5M was selected to represent our school at the Doncaster Final later in March at the Danum Museum and Art Gallery.

Good Luck Johnny, I am sure you will be great!

World Book Day – Wonderful Work

13th March 2024Mrs Graves

Well done to all the children who entered the Book in a Box competition. They were all so excellent, we really couldn’t pick a winner, so everyone is going to get a prize – I will be coming round this week so you can choose your prize book!

Thank you for taking part! They are all now proudly displayed in the library area of school, if you want to have a look.

4H World Book Day Fun…

11th March 2024Mrs Haycock

4H embraced World Book Day whole heartedly and we had so much fun throughout the day. The live draw along with Phil Shepherd inspired us to imagine our own characters and ideas for the front cover of a book. The finished products are so good I need to have a new wall built somewhere so that I can display all of them! Getting comfy with a cushion seemed to be a favourite part of the day as we read more of our key text: The Last Bear. There really is nothing better than sitting back, relaxing and reading or listening to a great story. I’m sure someone fell asleep…no names mentioned!

Don’t forget that your book token can be used for £1 off of a book from our book fair when it arrives!
