Today we trialled a new style phase assembly and it was so great to see all of our superstars this week receiving their certificates!
we had shout outs, reading challenge winners, HOWL point winners and our Out of this world winners!
I also need to give a special mention to year 1 for learning our phase song so well…such beautiful singing…well done everyone x x
This week is phonics check week in year 1, so its all systems go with the practise! We have been rocking and reading to get into the rhythm of the sounds. Keep up the practise 😀
Yesterday morning class 5 played the part of victorian school children, complete with rows of seats, ‘slates’ to write on and our very own DUNCE cap! We wrote lines, reminding ourselves of how to behave in the classroom, chanted our times tables and watched a video about how victorian children really went to school!
Lots more to celebrate this week in key stage 1! Year 1 had lots of amazing reading certificates given out, year 2 have been getting some awesome shoutouts for their hard work in SATS this week. The children were shining!
Lots of shoutouts for those of use that have been awarded the Be Kind, Get Smart and Work Hard HOWL certificates too. It is so great to see so many young people striving for these awards, although it makes it hard for us to choose sometimes! What a great dilemma to have. What could YOU do to be our winners next week?
How wonderful it was to be able to welcome our parents and carers back for the celebration of our Autumn learning expedition – What will I do to be a superhero in my community?
We gathered at the XP East site for a star-spangled red carpet event where our children truly were the stars of the show in a first screening of their final product video which showcased their learning in true Hollywood style.
Thank you so much to everyone who braved the traffic and came dressed in their best to help us recognise and honour the children’s hard work and achievements in such an awesome fashion.
We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Thank you so much to our parents that managed to make our film screening tonight to celebrate the children’s Autumn expedition.
We hope you were proud of the learning that they did and equally I hope that the children enjoyed this event!
For anyone that couldn’t make it tonight, please don’t worry as there will be an opportunity for you to watch it too!
Thanks again, Mrs Shaw and the ks1 team x x

WOW What a day we had yesterday! It was incredible to see the children so excited about all the exhibits throughout West Park Museum. We got to explore what living in Sheffield was like in the 1950s, what jobs people used to have and how what the ‘Steel City’ really had to offer. The children got to browse the incredible art in the gallery, looking at different interpretations of the rural fields and hills, the 5 main rivers that run through Sheffield, the steel factories and how it has changed over the years to the urbanised, high rise built up area we drove through.
I can’t wait to see the finished banner we created with print working too. The children got to use real ink to make impressions, printed onto a wonderful fabric banner. Hopefully we can display these proudly in school 😀 We took so many amazing pictures, I couldn’t choose the best, just look at all our smiling faces!!!
