Anti-Bullying Curriculum Day

This Friday we hosted another whole-school curriculum day, which focused on anti-bullying. All children from reception to year 5 participated in an exciting range of creative activities. It was great to see so many children from different year groups working together.

Parent Forum

 

We would like to invite parents to come along and join us at our next parent forum on Tuesday 11th December between 2.30 and 3 pm. It’s free to attend, simply  join us on the day in the Community Meeting Room. 

The Parent Forum is a partnership between parents and the school. It’s a valuable way to share ideas, views, concerns and make suggestions for improvement. The meeting on the 11th December will focus on home learning.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Year 3 have been investigating the possibility of dragons living and nesting in the Queen’s Hill wooded area. Check out the photos to see what they found!

 

Illustrator Visit

Year 2-4 had an amazing morning, meeting the author and illustrator Benji Davies. They got the chance to listen to his stories and create their own illustrations. The children were all very engaged and asked some great questions. It looks like we may have some future authors and illustrators in our midst!

Listen to a Bedtime Story

Hear Mrs Carpenter share one of her favourite bedtime stories, I don’t want curly hair.

Year 5 Vikings Workshop

Year 5 had a Vikings workshop today in school. They loved getting involved with some of the activities Bjorn (their Viking guide) showed them.

In the pictures below, you can see the fun they had grinding corn with a quern stone, handling Viking artefacts and looking at Viking weaponry. What a great way to end the first half-term!

Year 3 Parent Café

Year 3 parents were invited into class this afternoon for the Jelly Bean Café! They joined in with a range of maths games and activities which worked on developing reasoning skills. A great way to end the first half-term.
