Well done to all our winners this term
The children enjoyed performing in their Christmas Performances this week!
For Children in Need, the school council created a school competition to design a new eye patch for Pudsey. They collected the entries and judged them very carefully in our most recent meeting. After the winners from each class were selected, the school council chose a book for that child as a prize. The council members presented the winners with their prizes in our celebration assembly on Friday morning.
Congratulations to these children who were presented with Maths certificates in assembly. The child in each class who has made the most progress with their TT Rockstars gig since starting this academic year received a certificate. There were 3 very special awards given to children who achieved 100/100 on their latest gig which is impressive, so an extra special well done to Finley Jopling, Ella-May Grant and Darla Mihaita!
Everyone enjoyed a spook-tacular disco on Wednesday 2nd November 2022. Costumes were amazing!
Science Council Club have looked at seasonal changes focusing on Autumn and what we are noticing happening in our surroundings. They went on an autumnal hunt and collected some items from the school grounds and are looking for more signs of Autumn when outside school too.
As always they bring enthusiasm to club and lots of smiles.
We celebrated Harvest Festival on Friday 21st October in our school hall. Lots of parents and carers came to support their children. All of the food donations were sent to a local food bank. thank you for your continued support.
In multi-cultural, week we were so lucky to find out more about African drumming when Fanuel, from Zimbabwe, came to visit us. We found out that African drums are called djembe drums and are made out of wood and goat skin. We learned that in Africa, there are many rhythms played on the drums for all different occasions and some children tried to play some of these rhythms. Fanuel also taught us some African songs and dances. We all had a fantastic time!
Year 4 children have been learning how to play the recorder. First of all, we found out how to hold the recorder correctly then we learned how to read and play the notes B, A and G. We practised lots of different rhythms and Mrs Walls was very impressed!
Staying Safe Week
14th November to 18th November
This week is all about knowing how to stay safe in our homes, when we are out in the community, when we are online and when we are in school. It is also Anti-Bullying Week, and the theme this year is ‘Reach Out’. The children will be consolidating what bullying is and what they already know about it. They will be exploring different situations they may find themselves in and what the different actions and consequences could be. The focus will be on ‘reaching out’ and telling a trusted adult if the children experience or see any bullying behaviour. The children will also explore online safety and cyberbullying culminating with ‘Friendship Friday’ where the focus will be on what a good friend is and how to sustain good friendships.
