Design a library!

16th September 2024Rebecca Knowles

This year, we are working hard to raise money to develop our reading for pleasure library so firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your sponsors from the colour run which will go along way to helping us!

Secondly, we still need your help! We would love for you to help us design the library based on the space we have to use which is the foyer area near the hall.

Please design your ideal library and share your plans with Miss Knowles in person or at [email protected] This is for everyone across school to get involved in! Please send your plans by 7th October.

We can’t wait to see your fantastic ideas which will help us design the perfect library!

Class 7 – eBook day!

18th September 2024Simon Gerrard

Today was eBook day, so Class 7 chose two books to read online. We loved hearing about Harold the Cat and Muffin the Kittens adventures!

Class 7 – Bayeux Tapestry!

18th September 2024Simon Gerrard

Today, Class 7 have been learning about William the Conqueror. He invaded Britain in 1066 and fought in the Battle of Hastings. We learned about the battle through the Bayeux Tapestry. So, what better way to understand it more than to create our own version?

Year 2 PE ball skills

18th September 2024Aime Shaw

Great throwing and catching skills today using the basketballs. We focussed on chest passes and bounce passes, as well as looking at our aiming. A huge improvement already year 2, well done!

Year 2 spellings

18th September 2024Aime Shaw

Here are the spellings that we have been learning in class. We will continue to revisit these at school but if you wanted to get the children to practise any, these would be a great start. Thanks

As part of Crew, we helped out with stewardship by litter picking in the quad!

Class 7 – Castle research!

13th September 2024Simon Gerrard

Class 7 have been learning about the different types of castles and worked hard researching facts about them. We learned about Motte & Bailey castles, stone keep castles and, finally, concentric castles! Well done on such super knowledge, Class 7!

Have a great weekend, Class 7! 🙂

Key stage 1 crew assembly

13th September 2024Aime Shaw

This was our first key stage 1 crew assembly and it was amazing. The children had fantastic manners and listened beautifully throughout, as well as doing some great singing.

We handed out certificates for fabulous stewards and HOWL point winners. Well done to all of you guys, what a super start to the year!
We also celebrated some fantastic home learning that the children had been doing, including a taekwondo certificate!
Also, a massive well done to Crew Shaw for 100% attendance last week. I am so proud!
Have a lovely weekend x x
