Be Ready – Key Strings visit
Fri 17 Oct 2025We were delighted that Key Strings were able to fit us in for a visit this week. They delivered an amazing workshop on a range of musical instruments. The children learnt lots of musical terminology and also learnt about music through history. Some were also picked to take part in being part of a band in the show. It was truly a fantastic afternoon for children in years 1-6. The main message was that music is for everyone and that it is fun too. A super way to enrich our music provision.

Be Ready – Boys’ football
Fri 17 Oct 2025Well done to the boys’ football team who played their first full fixture this week after their tournament victory. We travelled to Radcliffe on Trent Junior school for the Rushcliffe Large Schools cup match. There are some changes that the year 6 children are having to get used to as the children can no longer head the ball and there are now no throw-ins. The children in year 5 are used to playing this at weekend teams but this was a change for the year 6 boys. Radcliffe were a very good side, but I am glad to say that the boys played some excellent football and we won the game 2-1. A super individual goal form Ethan and a brilliant team goal from Dan won the game for us. We look forward to seeing who we play in the next round.

A note from Mrs. Hewitt On Sunday, these very luck footballers got the chance to represent Lady Bay School in a football festival organised by Nottingham Forest. There were a very young and enthusiastic squad who all played some excellent football. Their behaviour was fantastic and they were most patient whilst Mrs. Hewitt attempted to rotate her squad of 12 players for a 5-a-sde game. Well done to everyone involved. A big thank you to the parents for their support and to Benjamin and Nate’s dad for being a fabulous coach

Be Ready – Assembly this week
Mon 13 Oct 2025In our assembly this week, we talked to the children about Black History Month. We made the link to the protected characteristic of Race. I asked the children to think about why we teach children about Black History Month. We also discussed famous people in Black History and who they could remember from previous years. With year 1 and 2, we looked at the impact of Mary Seacole and Rosa Parks why they are remembered during this month. In the year 5 and 6 assembly we looked at the life and work of Pablo Fanque and his impact during Victorian times. We finished the assembly reflecting on why they felt this assembly was important. My favourite quote from the day was from Oscar in year 5. When asked why we teach about Black History he stated, “You are asking us to reflect on the awful things that happened and to make sure we learn from it and not repeat it in the future.” Not sure I could have put it better myself.

Be Ready – Music at Lady Bay
Tue 07 Oct 2025You may be aware that we have a new music specialist in school (Mrs Bennett).. We are so pleased with the start she has made and the children are loving the music sessions. It was great that Ofsted were able to see the provision too last week. They were very complimentary about the sessions and felt the expectations that we have are very high. During this session, year 4 were learning about at pentatonic scale and were given some notes for Sweet Chariot. They were set the task to work out the rest. A super lesson.
