Happy Easter!

31st March 2023Mrs Ogle

We have had another great term of our children working really hard in their learning expeditions and producing beautiful work.

We have finished with Aspiration Week and welcomed many visitors into school to talk about the job they do and how they got to where they are today. Thank you to all of our visitors who have inspired our children to work even harder and follow their dreams.

Well done to all of our children who entered the Easter bonnet and egg decorating competition. All of the entries were fantastic. A few can be seen below.

Finally, thank you as always for your continued support. We wish you all a lovely Easter and will see you back at school on Monday 17th April.

Celebration of Learning

31st March 2023Mr Pickering

We had an amazing celebration with so many pupils and grown ups. It was amazing to see the hall so full! Children were busy sharing their books, their learning and their knowledge from our latest expedition. There was the opportunity to show off art and craft skills as well as very loud percussion playing! Strangely, there was also a very big queue at the pancake station! There were lots of smiling faces and busy people! Thank you to everyone for joining us.

Aspirations Galore!

31st March 2023Mr Pickering

In Year 2, we have been thinking about what aspirations means. We have learnt that it could be a personal challenge that you set yourself (like running a marathon) or the job you wish to have when you are older. To inspire the children, we have had visitors from different professions to share what their job is and how they reached their goals. We had visitors from Airline Pilots, Cruise Ship Directors, and illustrator and a Nurse. The children were in awe!

We have also learnt where our money comes from and the difference between spending, saving and selling. The children have been introduced to the idea of ‘saving for a rainy day’ and how difficult unplanned spending can be. We have some budding financial experts on our hands!

It has been a truly inspiring week!

To kick start aspiration week, year 5 had a visit from National Horseracing College. Haydn explained all the different types of jobs associated with horses and how the college can help with any horse related career path. He even let us try on some horseracing silks!

What would you like to be when you grow up?

27th March 2023Mrs Price

This morning we thought about what we would like to be when we grow up. We talked about what we would need to do to do that job. There were lots of different ideas.

Doubling

24th March 2023Amy Wood-Samways

In maths this week we have been looking at doubles. F2W have become really confident in spotting doubles and explaining why, some children can also recall me some doubles.
