Year 5 Updates

17th April 2023Rebecca Barnett

We hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and are ready for the summer term! There are a few changes for this half term.

PE

This half term we are having Kixx for our PE sessions. This means that PE will now be on a Monday afternoon. Please make sure you bring your PE kit, including trainers, every Monday.

XP Outdoors

On a Thursday morning, we have XP Outdoors. Please bring suitable clothing with you every Thursday.

If you have any questions about what kit is needed please don’t hesitate to ask.

Class 15 – Kixx!

17th April 2023Sophie Myers

This afternoon we have enjoyed our first session with Kixx! We have practiced passing using the inside and outside of our feet and ended in a fab tournament.

Please can all children bring PE Kits and suitable footwear each Monday starting from next week until half term. We will have Kixx sessions each Monday afternoon so this will replace PE on a Thursday.

Thank you! 🙂

Class 13 – Layers of the Earth 🌎

17th April 2023Jake Taylor

As part of hook week, we have been looking at the layers of the earth, including the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. We have been creating different models of the earth using card and tissue paper and labelling the different layers.

Year 4 Swimming – Tomorrow!

16th April 2023Rebecca Knowles

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter holidays!

This is just one final reminder that Class 12 / Knowles are swimming tomorrow – how exciting!

Please be in school between 8.15 – 8.30 as we will be getting on the coach at 8.40am. If you are not in school by that time, you will miss the swimming lesson.

Other final reminders:

  • The DMBC and Swimming Pool policy states that children must wear either a one-piece swimming costume, trunks or above the knee shorts. 
  • If your child uses an inhaler, they must take it to the lesson. Inhalers should be clearly labelled and be available at the poolside. Should any child fail to take their inhaler they will not be allowed to swim.
  • If your child has a verruca they are still permitted to swim.
  • Long hair, fringes must be tied back off the face with a plain band. Scrunchies, slides and headbands are not permitted.
  • Your child will not be permitted to swim if wearing nail varnish/temporary tattoos/henna tattoos/ear-rings.
  • All jewellery must be removed for swimming lessons.
  • Your child may wear goggles if they wish.

Year 1 Celebration of Learning

11th April 2023Jayne Rodgers

What an amazing way to end Spring term with our fantastic celebration to showcase all we have learned in our expedition. The children had great fun presenting their learning to their families and leading them in activities linked to keeping ourselves healthy. As always thank you all so much for your support. The turnout was awesome!

Class 13 – Aspirations Week 💡

1st April 2023Jake Taylor

Thank you to all of our visitors who were able to come in and talk to the children this week. We were able to hear what it is like to work as someone who buys and sells medication across the world for hospitals, to be a quantity surveyor, a dancer, a business owner and even a firearms instructor at South Yorkshire Police. The children were so engaged and had so many questions for them all. Hopefully it will have inspired a few children to think about what they want to do when they get older.
