This afternoon, we held our first KS1 family learning event of the year. Thank you to all of the parents/carers who were able to join us to take part in some superhero skill based activities – water pistol shoot-out, archery and super strength tyre flipping to name just a few! We look forward to welcoming you into school again soon and hope you enjoyed our fun afternoon.

Class 7 – Another Fantastic Week
Well done to Class 7 on another fantastic week in Year 2. This week we have enjoyed lots of hook activities to engage us in our learning and we look forward to getting started with our expedition and Year 2 curriculum next week. We have enjoyed team games, such as tying ourselves into a human knot and working together to untangle ourselves … great problem solving boys and girls, keep it up!
Our Superhero dress up day has been fantastic and a huge thank you for everyone taking part – you all looked amazing. Here’s to a super weekend for you all!
KS1/Y2 – A Visit from our local Mayor
This morning, the children in KS1 were granted a meeting with Susan Durant our local Mayor where they found out all about her fantastic work in the community as well as the work of the local food bank. The children asked lots of questions about Susan’s work and experiences and were able to share the fabulous community work they have been getting up to these last two weeks. Susan was super impressed with the children and enjoyed her visit so much, including sharing a tasty lunch in our lunch hall. Thank you so much for visiting, Susan – we look forward to working with you again soon!

Class 7 helping to bag-pack in our local community

KS1 Superheroes Unite – An invitation to our family learning event on Friday 8th September
On Friday 8th September, all KS1 children are invited to come to school dressed as a favourite superhero of their choice. We have been learning about heroes in the local community so they may wish to consider these, such as police officers and nurses, or they may opt for their favourite fictional superhero instead. We will be taking superhero pictures using green screen during the morning so please let your child’s class teacher know if you wish to opt-out of this.
Parents and carers are then invited to join us on the Key Stage 1 playground from 1.30pm where you will be able to enjoy a range of superhero themed activities (trainers a must, capes and masks optional!) before challenging yourself to defeat our ruthless obstacle course. To end the session, there will be juice and biscuits alongside stories and colouring inside your child’s classroom (after all, even superheroes need to rest!).
We do hope you will join us on Friday at 1.30pm and we can’t wait to see you all then.

Year 2 Superheroes – Class 7 at Harry Priestley House
To support our learning about helping our local communities, some of Class 7 enjoyed a visit to Harry Priestley House which cares for adults with learning disabilities. The children made cards and pictures for the residents and sang our crew song, The Climb. The residents were thrilled to meet the children and we hope to visit again soon. Well done boys and girls, we are so proud of our little superheroes!
Year 2 superheroes – Class 7 at Adeline House Care Home
Today, Year 2 have been thinking about people who might need help or support in their community and this afternoon we have continued being local superheroes by visiting care homes to meet residents and share cards and pictures with them. Some of the children from Class 7 enjoyed a visit to Adeline House and it was really special to watch them engage with the elderly residents and to see the joy they brought to the home – well done boys and girls, you should be so proud of yourselves!
