Well done to our Handwriting champion and those children who have achieved their Head-Teacher award for reaching 250 star points! Wow, super effort guys! 

It has been a fantastic week in class from everyone. The children have finished writing up their persuasive letters and continued their work in maths on Money. They have thoroughly enjoyed our science experiments too. A great week Year 4.

Yesterday we started our polyblock printing using polystyrene tiles. The work so far looks amazing but as the ink takes a long time to dry we will have to finish our work after the holidays to add the second colour. I will share the final work next term.

Year 3 awards; totally amazing superstars this week. We are delighted with Head Teachers winners for their efforts in writing newspapers.

Good to be Green - these children are always Ready, Respectful and Safe!

As part of their Anglo Saxon Day yesterday, the whole class enjoyed the opportunit to bake some Anglo Saxon Honey, Oat and Spice Cakes!  They worked with Mrs Hallam to create their baking, using measuring skills to follow the ancient recipe.  Later in the morning, they were able to sample their hard work - the cakes were delicious!  Well done Year 5 and a big Thank You to Mrs Hallam!  Mrs Blomeley

Year 1 were lucky enough to have a Zoom call with Mr Mainprize (Miss Mainprize's uncle) who has completed a South Pole expedition with the RAF. Year 1 compared this to what they had learnt about Captain Scott's expedition and asked lots of fantastic questions to further their understanding. Well done everyone!

Last week our Year 4 and 5 girls football team took part in the Pokémon football qualifiers against St Mary's and Gee Cross Holy Trinity Primary School. It was the first time they had played together but they showed great teamwork and managed to score 2 goals and come 2nd in their group! A special well done to player of the match, Matilda, for her fantastic goal keeping skills throughout the games. Well done girls!
