half term 5 celebration 220515

Year 2 really enjoyed organising our St
George’s Day Afternoon tea. We have
learned lots this half term about
different saints.
We want to say a big thank you to
Mr Fishpool for teaching us about
orienteering. We had a brilliant time
using maps and markers. The time
trial was the best!!!! Thank you !
We are so proud of our FS1 boys and girls for
their fabulous acting and singing in our Spring
Performance. We certainly have lots of budding
singers and actors in Nursery! Well done FS1.
Happy half term
everyone. See
you on Monday
June 1st.
We have had a wonderful
half term in Year 1 learning
about and visiting our local
environment. We are lucky
to live in a such a beautiful
place even if it is rather
Year 3 have really
enjoyed the art
activities
associated with
our South Africa
topic.
Our reception classes have had a
wonderful time performing traditional
tales for their families. The children
told the stories of The Enormous
Turnip, The Gingerbread Man and The
Three Little Pigs. They all were showstoppers! Thank you to everyone who
came to see the shows :)
Sportsmanship, manners and team work
have been the focus for our Year 5’s this
half term. This made for an exceptional
game of Rounders enjoyed by all!
What a half term for Y6. Our main focus was getting through
SATs week...and we made it! However, in between countless
boosters and revision, we did mange to squeeze in some
science exploration and as you can see, it kept us entertained
and bemused!
Attendance
Our champs this week are Blue 3, Mrs Duck
with 100% and Brown 1 Mrs Carson & Mr
Hedgley with 100%. Well done!
Whole school attendance was 96.3%. Our attendance figures are creeping up slowly this
year. Well done everyone!
We currently have 37 children on 100% attendance this year. If they can keep it up there will
be a very special ‘treat trip’ during the last
week of term for them as a reward!
