• Caring for the environment – Eco Committee

  Thu 18 May 2023

  Eco committee have been thinking about Eco friendly food tips.  We encourage people to think about moving towards a more plant-based diet and have found some recipes for carrot stew, protein pots and vegan brownies.  We also discovered that we throw away 7 million tonnes of food and drink every year in the UK and the foods that we waste the most are fresh vegetables and salad and fruit.  Here's our Year 4 rep with a recipe book for using up food leftovers.  For example, you could peel over-ripe bananas and freeze them.  Once thawed, mash them to make banana cake or banana bread.  Delicious.

• Determination – Girls’ and Boy’s football team

  Thu 18 May 2023

  Firstly, a huge well done to the boys who attended the tournament on Saturday. The boys showed great determination making it to the semi-final. Unfortunately, the boys were knocked out on penalties. Thank you to Mr. Shelley for supporting and coaching at the event.

   

  Both the boys and girls made the final this year. I wanted to start by saying how proud we are of all of them for showing such collaboration and determination to make it to the final. The girls played Tollerton who have not lost a game all season and in the national finals. They played incredibly well and it was an incredibly tense game. The final result was 3-1 to Tollerton and their coach said it was their toughest game of the season by far. Well done to all the amazing girls who were part of the team.

  The boys played Robert Miles Junior School. It was also an incredibly tense game. Unfortunately, the boys lost 2-1. All the children involved represented the school in an amazing way and absolutely deserved to be competing in the finals. I will add a picture of the girls’ team to the newsletter next week

  The children in Year 1 had a fantastic time at Warwick Castle on Tuesday. They bravely walked along the walls and climbed up to the top of a tower. They also found out lots about the history of the castle. In the afternoon they watched a magnificent bird of prey show followed by an exciting performance with a working trebuchet. To top off a brilliant day, they all met Zog!
