A great start to our new expedition!

5th September 2024Chris Mumby

The children in class 11 have shown superb engagement in our new expedition focused on WW2. We have been busy immersing ourselves in this topic by building a background knowledge of the subject. On Monday, we began our week by taking part in an evacuation experience with a visit to the local church. On Wednesday, we unpicked some of the key vocabulary that we will use in this expedition; we used sources of evidence to work out the meaning of each word. Today, we have used map work to identity allies during the war. To end our week, we have an expert visitor in school tomorrow. A fantastic start!

Here are are few snaps from our church visit:

Sculpture club

3rd September 2024Alishia Pearson

Just want to say a big thank you to sculpture club. They were fab at listening and learning about the different paper sculpture techniques this week! Check out what they have done below. A few more techniques to show them next week, but they have been set a challenge to think about what they’d like to start to make. Ensuring they apply some of these techniques to create something 3D!

Y3/4 Expedition field work

28th August 2024Chris Mumby

On Monday 2nd September, we will be taking year 3 and 4 children on an evacuation trip to our local Methodist Church as part of our new expedition. There is no expectation for children to dress up, however if they wish to they may. We will all be making a gas mask box, an identity label and a luggage label to take too.

The aim of the field work is for the children to experience something similar to what the children in WW2 did during their evacuation. We will leave school at 1pm with a return in time for 3pm pick up. We are hoping this work will engage the children into their new learning.

Here are some ideas for inspiration but please don’t feel you have to buy an outfit – see what you have in the trusty wardrobe!

Mrs Pearson, Mr Mumby, Mr Taylor and Mrs Dutton.

How can we work together to achieve an end goal?

28th August 2024Chris Mumby

Over the last few days, the children in Crew Mumby have worked very hard to produce an outstanding piece of collaborative art. We talked about the importance of everyone playing their part to ensure it could be the best we could produce. I think our message will inspire us as the year goes on….

Y6 Leavers Assembly

19th July 2024Chris Mumby

As we close the chapter on another wonderful school year, we want to take a moment to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for attending the Year 6 Leavers Assembly. Your presence made the event truly special and memorable for our students, and we couldn’t have asked for a more supportive audience.

This assembly was more than just a celebration; it was a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and growth our Year 6 students have shown throughout their primary school journey. Seeing you there, sharing in their joy and accomplishments, reinforced the strong community we have built together. Your cheers, smiles, and even the occasional tear of pride, were the perfect send-off as our students prepare to embark on their next adventure in secondary school.

We also want to acknowledge the tremendous support and encouragement you’ve provided your children over the years. Your involvement in their education and school life has been invaluable, and it shows in the confident, capable young individuals they have become. The partnership between parents and school staff is truly the foundation of our students’ success.

As we bid farewell to our Year 6 students, we know they carry with them not only the knowledge and skills they’ve gained but also the love and support from you, their parents. Thank you for being an integral part of this journey.

Enjoy a few moments captured from yesterday. https://youtu.be/NSyCJ0WpNy8

It’s not a goodbye, it’s a see you later.

Year 6 Leavers Party

Wow what an amazing day we have had celebrating our fabulous year 6 children. To finish off our week of treats and celebrations, we enjoyed a Hawaii themed party. A fantastic time was had by all – face paint, takeaway, ice cream, singing, limbo, football and finally a water fight which was obviously instigated by Mr Ambler!!!
