• Be Ready – Spanish at Lady Bay

  Tue 07 Oct 2025

  I wanted to add a note about Spanish in the newsletter this week. When Ofsted came in, they were blown away with the quality of the Spanish provision in school. The teaching was excellent and they felt that the standards that the children were reaching at primary school was amazing. Well done to Senora Lopez for her continued effort. In the picture, you can see Annabelle learning numbers in her lesson in year 4.

  

• Be Ready – Year 6 work on the Mayans

  Tue 07 Oct 2025

  In Year 6, we have been working extremely hard to make an information sheet about the ancient Maya. To begin the unit on what the Maya have done for us, we were hooked in by tasting and rating different chocolates - thanks to the Maya! We then worked in groups to research and share our ideas about what the Maya civilization have done for us. We thoroughly researched many subjects, such as: agriculture, calendars, astronomy, sports, writing and chocolate. The class used determination and collaboration to create fantastic pieces of work

  

• Caring for each other – Wear read for dyslexia awareness

  Tue 07 Oct 2025

  Thank you to everyone who came in red to raise the profile of dyslexia awareness in school. On Monday, it is the start of dyslexia awareness week and we always spend time during assemblies talking to the children about it. We have quite a few children who have been diagnosed with dyslexia in school and raising awareness allows them to know that they are not alone and that they will be supported whilst in school. We also like to show them the vast variety of business people and celebrities who have made huge successes in their lives who are dyslexic. Thank you again for supporting an important awareness day.

  

• Growing together – OPAL

  Tue 07 Oct 2025

  We reach the end of another week of OPAL play. I wanted to say thank you to Nikki from the church as she has volunteered to come in and support lunchtime this week.

  We are in the process of evaluating the best sand pit and, with the LBSA’s support, we will start the process of creating a sand area on the playground. We are very excited to get the ball rolling with this.

   

  We are still open to any donations if you have any as we are constantly trying to refresh what the children have access to.

• Be Ready – Assembly this week

  Tue 07 Oct 2025

  In our assembly this week, we talked to the children about the protected characteristic of Religion or belief. We talked to the children about what different religions they knew and which they have learnt about in school. We discussed with the children why they believed it was important not to discriminate against someone because of their religion or beliefs. We also had a visit from Imran who talked to the children about the work that Muslin Hands to support those in need in Nottingham. We will be supporting Muslim Hands with donations for the harvest this year. If you have any harvest donation, please bring them to your child’s classroom on Monday or Tuesday.
