Amazing Donation from the Lions Club! 

We have previously told you about the persuasive powers of Phoebe and Chloe from Year 6. They have been working incredibly hard again and have received an incredibly generous donation of £300 from the Lions Club! This will be going towards new books for the library. 

Thank you so much to Mr Richards and his team for this wonderful sum of money which will make such a difference to our children. 

Pancake Club! (April 2023)

We had another successful pancake club down in our school woods. A child from each class were chosen for outstanding behaviour for this half term, showing our school values and world readiness! 

After learning how to be safe around open fires, the children enjoyed adding the batter to the pan, eating their pancake and drinking hot chocolate to celebrate the hard work that they have shown.

Well done to these amazing children! 

Who will be our next outstanding learners for next term?

Well what an exciting day! A selection of our children, from Year 1 to Year 6, were invited to take part in a virtual art lesson, provided by the V and A. 

Along with Miss Browne, the children followed an “art-along”, focussing on the Caribbean artist Althea McNish. They designed their own murals, looked at exhibitions in the gallery and used shapes that they could see in the exhibitions to inspire their designs. They cut these shapes out of paper to make stencils and overlapped shapes to create a patterned finished piece. 

Year 2 enjoyed starting their new topic- Shiver Me Timbers! We took part in different activities throughout the day. We tried and evaluated different pirate foods, learnt a sea shanty, created our own treasure map, explored the properties of different materials that we might find on a ship, built a shelter after being stuck on a deserted island and wrote a letter asking to be rescued. Head on over to the Video Resource Centre on the website (pupil videos) to watch us sing our song!

🏃‍♀️ Year 3 & 4 Quad Kids Athletics 🏃‍♂️

Despite the late cancellation of this cluster competition, the year 3 & 4 teams still had a chance to compete in their 4 athletics events on our school field this morning. A 50m sprint, a 400m endurance race, the standing long jump and the vortex throw really tested the speed, strength and power of our athletes - a great practice for what will hopefully be a rearranged fixture soon. Well done to everyone for adjusting quickly to the change in situation and for putting in all your effort and energy. 🙂
