I was incredibly proud of all year 3 Greek athletes on Tuesday afternoon…they competed against each other with such sporting prowess in the Brooklands Olympics! Thank you for being the first year group to invite parents to school to share your learning – it was great and I loved the costumes!
Today, we had a lovely class celebration assembly.
Congratulations to the winners of our star learner and coping with change awards.
I had the pleasure of awarding the first 6C red, strong and powerful badge, to an individual who has shown that they are really becoming a very strong and powerful learner.
Thank you to all of the parents that made it to the curriculum tea this week. It was great to see you all there and share the children’s cooking with you. I know the children loved being able to share their baking with you, even if some did take the nicest decorated cakes from you.
Thank you to all the parents who attended our 6b curriculum tea or joined a different class for the curriculum teas this week. It was great to share our knowledge with you and to continue to build a partnership between the school, children and parents.
Please make sure you look through the curriculum tea pack and the other resources available to you on the website and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in contact.
We look forward to reading your comments on our posts soon!
Year 1 enjoyed a sunny afternoon walk around the local area as part of their project ‘All About Me’.
The children enjoyed looking at all the local features. They saw lots of dragonflies flying over the brook and builders driving their diggers.
Year 1 enjoyed spending time together as a year group at the park running through the tunnels and playing in the sand.
Once back in school the children mapped out their walk using maps of the local area.
The year 1 team would like to thank all the parent helpers who came along.
We have seen high learning zones across year 1 over the past week.
Here are just a few snapshots…
Year 6 had an inspirational and exciting trip where they went to visit ‘Station X’, now a museum, at the famous Bletchley Park (home of the World War Two Code Breakers).
The children had a tour of the museum and were able to see ‘The Bombe’, the machine which contributed to deciphering German codes sent by the Enigma machine, in full action as well as seeing all the other parts of the museum.
Children also had the amazing opportunity of having specialists from Bletchley Park talk to them about toys and the development and change of toys through World War Two, the development and change of communication, where we even got to communicate, using radio signals, to Russia, Austria and Spain! Finally, the children learnt how to be agents and learnt how to crack different types of codes. The children were exceptionally fortunate to have a go at sending and deciphering codes on the famous German code making machine ‘The Engima’.
We had a brilliant day! Here are some of our photos:
4a have spent some time in the last two weeks in amazing learning zones but also learning together to grow their understanding. The more growth we can achieve together will move us toward achieving our goals.
To celebrate excellently presented, acutely written and inspirational imaginative homework and enjoyment of reading in 6b, we are launching the weekly homework and reading award.
Children will be able to win awards, prizes or opportunities for the completing homework to an excellent standard.
Each week one or two children’s homework will be picked to win the homework award. This piece of homework will be photographed and shown on the website for all to see. Once the children have won 10 homework awards, they will be rewarded with a special lunch, prize or opportunity of some sort!
For the reading award, once a child has read and changed one of the school’s reading scheme books (which has been read out loud to an adult), the children will receive a reading award. Once they have read 10 books, the children will receive a special lunch, prize or opportunity.
Here are the first 3 week homework awards:
Frederik’s Philip Pullman timeline of his life
Cameron’s news paper report on Alan Turing
Joe’s Inspirational role mode poster.
Keep viewing the website to find out who’s homework is next!
