History Club

11th June 2024Jayne Rodgers

The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.

There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…

Class 10 Chocolate Visit!

16th May 2024Simon Gerrard

Class 10 had the joy of Carolyne from Sugar Rush visiting us and teaching us more amazing facts about the Mayans. We loved it!

We loved even more having the chance to try delicious chocolate treats that were brought in. Thanks for the great afternoon!

This includes a change of clothes and footwear suitable for spending time outdoors (weather appropriate) as well as sunscreen / hat and a water bottle during particularly warmer weather. 

Thank you! Year 3 + Mr K!

Playground Leader Reminder (KS2)

15th April 2024Simon Gerrard

Just a reminder about the option to apply for a playground leader role!

To help make break times even better we are asking for the children to volunteer to be a playground leader (in KS2). This will include a vote.

If this role is something that you are interested in, create a poster that shows:

  • Why you would be a great playground leader?
  • How can you help adults at break time?
  • What ideas you have for playtime games?
  • What character traits you will show with this
  • Are you confident to lead other children?

If you wanted to do a bit of Easter homework (no pressure) then you can create the poster, as mentioned above.

The deadline for this (sent to class teachers) will be Wednesday 17th April.
