WOW what a brilliant first community crew meeting of the Summer term! We have had some awesome stewardship shoutouts, amazing HOWL point winners, even some reading certificates earned too. Most importantly, we have had some hard working Out Of This World winners too!

These young people have been working so hard to be kind, work hard AND get smart and we are all so proud of them!

Finally, a HUGE shoutout to Crew Cooper for getting 100% attendance this last week too, they will get to display Paddington the Attendance bear proudly in their crew room!

For the first time this term the new outdoor art club has had an amazing start. We took ourselves out onto the playground and practised creating patterns by rubbing different materials. We used concrete, wood, rubber, grass, brick and loads of different areas of the playground to find some awesome patterns. Then when we had finished we even discussed our favourite patterns and wondered what we could do with them next week…

Reuben loved it that much he went straight home and did some more in his own garden! I would love to see more pictures if anyone else has had a go at home 😀 Well done everyone -Miss Good

WOW, what a week it has been this week, from all of KS1 staff, a huge thank you for everyones hard word during our assessment week. We have seen some incredible improvements, especially in maths. I think that might be down to the wonderful work done on TTRockstars and Numbots.

Our stewardship shoutouts this week were for children who have been keeping their classrooms neat and tidy and taking ownership of their actions, choosing to tidy up after themselves but also doing it for their peers too. It is lovely to see such kind and helpful children in our phase!

We even had an amazing reading shoutout for Thea this week for getting her Gold reading certificate! What a superstar.

The best attendance this week goes to Crew Rodgers, well done to everyone in Crew Rodgers, who can beat them next week?!

Another HUGE shoutout to our Out Of This World’s this week. We found it so hard to choose this week, as everyone has worked so hard, but big well done to Lauren, Luna, Ethan, Ava, Reid and Ava-Leigh!!

I wonder who will be Out Of This World next week……

What a fantastic hook back into our learning after the half term holidays we enjoyed this afternoon. Mr Lamb, who had already given us the benefit of his expert knowledge about castles earlier in the year, came into school to explain what being an opera singer entails. He talked us through the process of learning and practising a song, and showed us the costumes and make-up he wears when performing. We joined in with some vocal exercises before Mr. Lamb performed part of ‘Toreador’ from the opera, Carmen. The children were transfixed! They then were allowed to try on some of the hats and masks that Mr Lamb wears. What an amazing experience. Thank you so much Mr Lamb.
