Our children had a lovely time at all of our PTA End of Year Discos this week. We also drew out the names of the lucky winners in our Name The Bear Competition!
Thank you to all those who attended and to those who took part in the competition.
Our thanks also go to the Parent Members of the PTA who helped to organise the events and gave up their time to help at each one.
Today, some of our Year 5 & Year 6 children were presented with their Children’s University Awards in a graduation ceremony led by Enrich Education.
Children’s University is a charity that works in partnership with schools to develop a love of learning in children – encouraging and celebrating participation in extra-curricular activities in and outside of school.
Our children received bronze, silver and gold awards today, according to the number of hours of extra-curricular activities they have built up over the past year.
On Thursday, six Year 5 children visited the residents of Wentworth House Care Home to share their current topic work on World War II. They discussed their learning then asked residents about their own experiences and memories of the war.
Thank you once again to all at Wentworth House. This was a really rewarding and special learning experience for our children; they also made lots of notes to take back to their classes to really bring their topic to life!
On Tuesday, 22 children attended the Children’s University graduation at Salford University. Over the course of the year, each child who had taken part in a school extra-curricular activity gained credits to achieve Children’s University awards. This year, we had children who achieved bronze, silver and gold awards, which is amazing. The children and parents who attended the ceremony thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were a credit to the school.
Remember, your credits from this year roll over to next year, so keep going to the extra-curricular activities to gain even more credits and achieve your next award!
Today, as part of our world of work week, UKS2 were visited by West End Schools who talked to them all about the theatre industry and also worked with them to produce a short musical version of The Lion King, which they performed to each other. They worked incredibly hard and threw themselves into it – as you can see from the photos below. Well done everyone who took part.
We all enjoyed dressing in red today and buying red noses to support Comic Relief. Reception Class also held a very successful bake sale after school.
So far we have raised just over £375 with more to be added from the bake sale.
Thank you for your support
Here we are in this afternoon’s assemblies –
We all enjoyed dressing up on World Book day – our classes chose different themes / authors.
This week we have also written entries for our short story competition and drawn illustrations for next year’s KS2 Planners – winners to be announced soon!
To celebrate Shrove Tuesday, our School Council held a sponsored pancake flip in school. All children in Reception to Year 6 took part to see how many (wooden) pancakes they could flip in two minutes. All our children tried really hard and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The record number of flips went to Ammar in Year 6 with 153!!
Thank you to all our families who have very kindly sponsored their children – please send monies in to school as soon as possible. Also, a huge thank you to the parents who came into school to help over the two days, enabling us to hold this event. Here are some of our pancake flippers in action!
Over the half term holiday, 5KW were asked to produce a piece of homework linking to their new Geography topic ‘What’s important about the Rainforest?’
Many of the children produced fantastic pieces of homework, Brooke and Piper particularly impressed us with their models of the layers of the rainforest and the plants and animals found within.
