Y5/6 EPIC activities

29th April 2023Claire Dutton

Some of our Y5 & 6 students have been enjoying taking part in our new provision, EPIC.

Our in-school sessions focus on preparing Y6 pupils for life at secondary school and explores ideas and issues to help them navigate future experiences in society. The course covers areas such as bullying, crime and internet safety.

EPIC also offers Y5/6 students an after-school club which focuses on collaboration and problem solving skills through team games and challenges. This club runs on a Thursday evening, 3-4pm.

Whilst EPIC is offered to pupils via invite only, we do have some spaces left on the after-school club. If your Y5/6 child is interested in joining please contact your child’s class teacher for more information.

Y5&6 Community Crew

29th April 2023Claire Dutton

Thursday saw our first UKS2 community crew of the summer term and it was clear that all our crews have got off to a great start. Top of the agenda was the battle for accelerated reader, with Crew Ambler still clinging tightly onto first place … which crew will overcome them first?

Congratulations go out to all those children receiving shout outs & HoWL certificates this week, and a huge well done goes to all of this week’s OOTW superstars – keep up your fabulous work!

National Skipping Week

24th April 2023Rebecca Barnett

This week is National Skipping week and as a school we will be taking part to see how many jumps we can do. Each day, the children will get the opportunity to take part and count how many jumps they can do and we will create a school total each day. Watch this video to find out more.

Want to take part at home?

School council will be getting involved to see who can skip or jump in the most unusual places. All you need to do to get involved is take a picture or video of you jumping or skipping somewhere unusual and send it into school. The deadline for entries is Tuesday 2nd May. Winners will be announced on Friday 5th May.

Happy skipping!

This morning in crew, we had a silent discussion to generate ideas on how people in can improve their HOWLs, SPAG, maths, reading and writing. These ideas are really going to support everyone when tomorrow we make our pledges for the Summer term.

Mr Ambler and myself are creating a PE display for school. In this display, we want to celebrate our sporting successes across school whether it is a tournament, PE clubs or outside teams.
