It was a pleasure to invite parents back to our OOTW phase assembly for the first time this morning – thank you to those who could make it to help celebrate their children receiving OOTW certificates for their achievements in school today. A big well done to all the other children who also received shout outs and HOWL certificates as well … who will be celebrating next Thursday?
Wow! What a fantastic week we’ve had transitioning into Year 5. It has been super to see lots of new friendships being formed as my current Crew merged with the children from Crew Faulding.
We’ve had lots of team building activities and reflected on what we expect from Crew next year. I’m so excited to watch you all grow and be the best version of you!
It has been a fabulous end to the term by welcoming our new Y5’s to the phase. This week we have spent time developing our new crews through establishing crew norms, creating collaborative art work, creating a crew song amongst other exciting activities. As Y6 have their current teachers again, their transition looked slightly different. Working around the extreme heat this week, that children coped incredibly well with, Y6 children took part in service learning by throughly cleaning the areas around school by litter picking and making our school look the best it can be. We made a stand by creating eye-catching posters that we intend on placing on the fences around the school, particularly the entrance to school. Following this, we had a continental brunch as a reward for our hard work and as a treat for attendance this academic year. This week has been fantastic, I am proud of every single child in our new crew. I’m certain we’re going to have an outstanding and memorable year as a new phase crew.
Wishing everyone a restful and enjoyable Summer break.
A huge shout out to these superstars for a fab start in Year 3. You’ve all stood out to me and Miss O’Neill during the last couple of days for working hard in all of our transition activities. Keep it up guys!

We had so much fun with our lava challenge yesterday! I was blown away by the great ideas each team had and everyone’s enthusiasm.
We started off the challenge steady but of course we had to turn up the heat (no pun intended after this weeks weather ha ha) and give them less time to get from one side to another. You all smashed it! I really enjoyed hearing all of your reflections on what went well during our debrief afterwards.

In our feelings circle today, we were testing our memory and listening skills by sharing our feelings with a partner and getting them to share it with the rest of our crew. It was great to do our feelings in a different way as it really encouraged us to focus on what our friends were sharing.

We spent our time in crew this morning finishing off our Crew norms and pledges. It was brilliant to see everyone think carefully about their next steps moving up in to year 3 and what they want to work on!
Keep your eyes peeled for our pledge video later on in the week! It’s going to be a good one!
