31st July 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

‘TO GIVE, TO HELP, TO BE KIND AND CREATE HAPPINESS’

A new project has been introduced into the school

To Give, To Help, To Be Kind and Create Happiness.

 

Contributing to the celebrations for the end of the school year, the children volunteers made beautiful thank you cards for all staff, volunteers, sports coaches and students who work in our school, to say ‘thank you’ for everything they do each day, to make the school year a great one!

The children enjoyed making the cards in their spare time and were so excited to deliver them!

The cards were very gratefully received.

Romero Britto

7th July 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 4 have been learning about Brazil in our “Picture our Planet” topic. This week, we have been learning about famous Brazilian neo-pop artist Romero Britto. We have learnt all about how he draws inspiration from cubism and graffiti art. We then practised making collages of his art work using a cutting template. Once we had the hang of it, we used the same cutting template to cut pieces of fabric to create a carnival collage. We worked hard to choose patterns and colours that complimented each other and then added decorations.

KS2 Sports Day

3rd July 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

KS2 enjoyed a fabulous afternoon on Monday for sports day. They took part in plenty of team games in their house colours before watching or taking part in the individual races. It was a very close leaderboard, but the overall winner for KS2 was Emerald House – well done Emerald!

PRIDE!

30th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

On Rainbow Friday Year 3 discussed the meaning of pride. They thought about times where they have felt proud of themselves or others, and thought about why pride is important to LGBTQ+ people. They also learnt about some of the origins of the rainbow flag, including what each colour represents, before creating their own progress flags out of collage materials.

Fingerprint Rainbows in Year 1

30th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

As part of our Rainbow Day celebrations, Class 3 dressed in bright colours, shared stories celebrating differences and made fingerprint rainbows that we will display to support diversity.

Year 3’s visit from Zoolab!

29th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 3 enjoyed a fabulous afternoon today. Rob from ZooLab came to visit us as part of our rainforests topic to show us different animals that call the rainforest their home. We began by meeting some animals who live on the forest floor, before moving up through the layers all the way up to the emergent layer. Some animals we handled included a millipede, a giant land snail, a snake, and a cockroach.

The children were so brave, some giving the animals a stroke, some holding the animals, and some just having a good look! They listened very intently to what Rob had to say, and asked some really interesting questions. Zoolab really brought our rainforests topic to life!

The Giving Project Update 28th June 2023

28th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

‘TO GIVE, TO HELP, TO BE KIND AND CREATE HAPPINESS’

A new project has been introduced into the school

To Give, To Help, To Be Kind and Create Happiness.

The Giving Project volunteers made special ‘Tooth Fairy Door Hangers’ for all of the children in Year 1.

The children volunteers enjoyed making these little gifts so that when the children lose a tooth, they can put the door hanger on their bedroom door handle, to help the tooth fairy find their tooth under their pillow.

The gifts were greatly received by the Year 1 children and the teachers and Mrs. Bingham were very proud of the Giving Project volunteer children for being so kind.

Times Tables Rockstars Club!

27th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

Year 4 have been working hard this year on their Times Tables – some even choosing to attend Times Tables Club after school on a Thursday.

Each session starts with a bit of healthy competition – playing each other on TTRS! Then we finish off by getting up and moving, playing times table games or dancing along to BBC Supermovers!

Keep Fit Club

27th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

Keep Fit Club had great fun this week as Miss Ingoe brought in a giant parachute!

We worked as a team to lift the parachute in time, creating a mushroom and played games like cat and mouse and shark attack! There was a lot of laughter 😂

Diversity Week 2023

27th June 2023Miss K. Wilkinson

We are very proud of our inclusive culture where every child is valued and identity and individuality are celebrated. Our children thrive in an exciting environment and learn to value their own culture and beliefs while respecting those of others. As part of diversity week Mr Wilson held a special assembly; we can’t wait to see all our children wearing rainbow colours on Friday.
