During the final week of our Spring Term, many activities have taken place in school. Here is a selection of photographs from these – Easter Family Bingo, Easter Hat Competition, Spring Music Concert, ‘Science Week’ Activities, School Planner Design Competition.

KS2 Planner Cover Design Competition

All our Year 3,4,5 & 6 children have been working hard to design a new front and back cover for our Sept 2023 Pupil Planners. The winning designs were chosen this week – see below. These designs will now go to print and be used as the covers for our KS2 planner for the next two academic years. Well done to our competition winners!

Spring Music Concert

On Friday, our pianists, guitarists and the choir performed to parents in our end of term concert.

Easter Hat Competition

Well done to all our children who entered the competition. A winning hat was chosen from each class – judged by our School Governor Mrs Dunkley. The overall winner’s hat was worn by Mrs Scott at our Easter Family Bingo evenings! (see later)

Mrs Scott, our caretaker / bingo caller, also joined our final choir rehearsal, wearing the winning Easter Hat!

Year 3LD’s Class Assembly – The Victorians

On Thursday, Mrs Doherty’s class taught us about the differences between rich and poor children’s lives in Victorian Times in their class assembly. The children were a little nervous, but we are very proud of the way every child spoke in front of the large audience of children and parents and performed their songs.

Well done to Mrs Doherty’s class – you were fantastic! Her are photographs from the assembly and the activities with parents back in the classroom.

Today, Miss Dixon’s class taught us all about The Romans in their assembly, watched by their parents and two Year 2 classes. All the children presented their learning about The Romans, even showing us some sword skills! Their two songs also showed their excellent knowledge of Roman Numerals and Boudica.

After the assembly, all parents were invited to visit Year 4AD classroom to look at their child’s topic work and take part in some Roman topic activities.

Thank you very much to the large group of parents who supported the class today and WELL DONE to Miss Dixon’s children – you were excellent!

World Book Day 2023

March 3, 2023 grosvenornews Leave a comment

This week, our World Book Day celebrations were a great success with children dressing up and taking part in activities throughout the day. Each of our year groups had a theme for their ‘costumes’:

Nursery & Reception – Bedtime Stories

Year 1 & Year 2 – The books of Julia Donaldson

Year 3 & Year 4 – Word Aware

Year 5 – World War II

Year 6 – Macbeth

Our Y3&4 children particularly enjoyed dressing up ‘as a word’ as part of our Word Aware programme in school – this whole school initiative focusses on extending all our children’s vocabulary.
