Newsletter Welcome

Welcome to our weekly newsletter where we share and celebrate news, events and achievements that have happened in the week. This is just a small selection of new so head to our website to read about more!

Music in Year 6

The children in Year 6 have really enjoyed our ‘World Unite’ topic in Music lessons this half term! We have been learning about syncopated rhythms and have been using body percussion to accompany a beat. Well done, everyone! 😊🎵

Children in Need Thanks!

Thank you for making such an effort for Children in Need today. Together we have raised £356.11 for the charity.

RE Debates 2023

We have run 2 days of RE debates in school this week which was attended by our Y4/5/6 children and pupils from 19 other local primary schools. In total, we had over 300 children join in! Examples of the debate titles are:

Charity begins at home.

You have to be religious to be a good person.

Humans are superior to animals.

All the children were fantastic in joining in the debates and arguing their points in a respectful manner. Well done everyone!

A special well done to our Y5 debate team who did really well.

Diwali- Reception

This week we have been learning all about Diwali. We have shared books with information about Diwali, made some Diya lamps with playdough and written some Diwali cards. The children absolutely loved learning about Rangoli patterns and have had lots of fun designing our own Rangoli patterns on the school playground using chalk.

Rugby in year 1 🏉🏉🏉🏉🏉

We had a super time yesterday morning learning rugby skills. It was very windy which made it very exciting! 🌬🌬🌬🏉🏉🏉

Y5 Odd Socks Day- Anti Bullying Week

Lots of children in Year 5 took part in Odd Socks Day to raise awareness of Anti bullying week. We talked about what bullying really means and the negative effects of it.

Odd socks day is all about celebrating our individuality and how it is great to be different!

Y4 Simple Circuits! 💡💡💡

As part of our Electricity topic in Science, Year 4 have been learning how to construct simple circuits using batteries, bulbs and wires.

We are looking forward to our conductors and insulators investigation next week! 😎

A fantastic week in year three

The children have been working really hard in school this week. Well done!

They have started dance with Miss Gemma on a Thursday, they are really enjoying this.

In Maths, the children have been learning to use the column method for subtraction. This has involved learning to borrow.

In RE, the children have started a new topic called ‘Is life like a journey?’ The children thought about their life so far and then thought about dreams and aspirations for the future. We created an aspiration tree.

Today, the children have drawn a portrait of themselves and painted it using watercolour.

U11 girls football

We’re super proud of these Year 5 and 6 girls who showed impressive amounts of perseverance during a particularly muddy encounter against Newport Juniors on Friday afternoon.
