Sports relief walk!

The entire school decided to take the Sports Relief challenge today; the school’s ‘Children’s Voice’ decided that they too would like to face a challenge, walking 1.75 miles from school to Maiden Castle and back. Despite it being rather chilly and a Friday afternoon, the children did this in super spirits and attitude. We were also pleased to see the Yr 4 children clearly supporting their buddies from Reception class to complete the walk.

We would like to thank the super turn out of parents today, enabling the children to complete this walk. The children have raised over £150 today and should be extremely proud of their efforts and awareness of supporting such a worthy charity.

A busy Friday!

A huge well done to everyone in Year 1 for a fantastic assembly today. Everyone worked incredibly hard to learn their lines and the song that we made up.

I hope that you all enjoyed! It was a shame that the micro phones did not work but that's technology for you! I know this didn't put the children off and the rest of the school learnt lots about space.

This afternoon we all took part in the sport relief sponsored walk to Maiden Castle. The children were amazing and walked all of the way without complaining. Well done! I am sure they will be very tired tonight but I hope they show you their certificates and gold medal badges they recieved.

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend and see you all next week for a four day week!

See you tomorrow dressed in your sports wear!

Sport relief this Friday!

 

Sport Relief is this Friday the children can come in to school in their sports wear. From 1.30pm the whole school will be walking to Maiden Castle. We would like lots of parental support for this walk. If you are free and able to walk with your child's class please see your child's class teacher.

 

We are asking for a £1 donation for this sponsored walk.

 

Thank you  

Did you know....(11.3.16)

This week in Year 1 we have been learning how to answer questions. The children wrote lots of questions about space and what they wanted to find out. This week they have been watching lots of videos to try and answer the questions.

 

Some of the questions we have answered this week are-

Why can't you eat bread in space?

 

How long is the ISS? Who made it? When was it made? How many people live on it?

 

In maths this week we have been adding and subtracting using number lines and 100 squares.

 

Spellings are back! Every child that brings in their spellings sheets or something to show that they have practiced their spellings will get praised next week and a move up.

 

Mrs Mewitt apologises that there has not been any recorder sessions. We are currently trying to find any musical volunteers that could run this half an hour session. If you are able to do this then please come and talk to us in school.

 

Have a restful weekend and see you next week. Next Friday is our assembly!

Any spare help?!

You may have seen that the plastic bottle greenhouse is starting to take shape, but we do not some people to come in and volunteer to help us complete all sides. Then we will have a last collection of bottles to create the roof. Please come in and speak to Mr Gibson R or Mrs Webb (Yr 2) if you have a spare hour to help? We know the children will love using this resource when completed!

Eco week update- 3.3.16

This week we have been doing lots of learning linked to eco schools. The children have learnt about Fairtrade this week which makes the link with global citizenship. They know how farmers grow and sell bananas and have sequenced this in writing.

They have also been making their very own ISS by recycling kitchen rolls. Thank you to all of the parents that have helped with the making of these, they look great. Once we have all of them we are going to send Tim Peake a tweet.

 

Year 1 have also been thinking about how to stay healthy. They have grouped foods in to some that you should eat a little of and food you should eat lots of. They have also made fruit kebabs!

 

This morning we have been tidying up the willow arch and weeding our raised beds.
