Weekly update – 5.07.24

Year 6 have had a great week! They enjoyed their transition days and visiting their new secondary schools. It was lovely to see them all come back feeling excited for the next stage of learning. They also had a great day at the Pioneer – thank you to the PTA for funding this marvellous day. Mrs Benson and Mrs Wade said the children were fantastic! Year 5 have been swimming and continuing to get to grips with the play.

Some of the new September starters enjoyed a taster session – it helps enormously that they are familiar with the teachers and setting ahead of starting.

We had a successful PTA cake sale too and it raised £120!

Well done to our amazing Super Stars today too. We saw a fabulous variety of extra awards today: dancing, gymnastics, football, martial arts and wrestling!

Year 6 end of year trip to Pioneer

Yesterday the year 6 children went to the Pioneer Activity  Centre for the day as their end of year treat, and what a fabulous day we had.

The children’s behaviour was exemplary and the leaders commented on how encouraging of each other they were- it’s great to think that they live out our school motto wherever they are.

This treat was funded by the PTA – a massive thank you to them.

Weekly update (28.06.24)

We enjoyed a fabulous sports day on 21.06.24. Thank you to everyone who came and supported the children. They all did a great job and competed with determination, enthusiasm and encouragement. Well done to the winners of sports day – Ash!  They will have their own clothes day on Friday 5th July.

The cricket team played well on Wednesday. They won their group and got through to the semi finals. Overall, they came in 4th place and we were very proud of them. Thanks to Mrs Wade for taking them!

On Thursday, our Year 6 writing was moderated by an external moderator from the LA. Children and staff have worked incredibly hard but they did fantastically well. The moderator said that they had well presented and organised samples with a range of fiction and non-fiction pieces which demonstrated that they had used engaging texts. Their teacher judgements were accurate. 10/12 pupils are expected in writing = 92%. Well done to our Year 6, Mrs Benson and Mrs Colin-Stokes for all their hard work along with Mrs Wade and Mrs Richardson.

Congratulations to Miss Pinches for qualifying as an Advanced Designated Mental Health Lead!

PTA news: The Fathers’ day shop made a fabulous £233.73 profit – thank you for all your contributions. A huge ‘thank you’ to Amazing Arnie who raised £95.00 from doing his own car boot sale – well done Arnie!

Well done to our Super Stars from last week and this week!

Some of our Year 6 took part in bikeability last week. Here are some of them as they prepare to venture out on the road.
