• Caring for the environment – Year 5 Veolia trip

  Fri 02 May 2025

  The children in year 5 enjoyed a trip to Veolia this week. This is always a super trip and reinforces their work on sustainability and how we recycle. Veolia staff showed the children around the site, spoke to them about the importance of recycling and what they do to ensure we protect the environment. A super trip and a great way to support their learning for next half term. I am already looking forward to the year 5 showcase of learning next half term.

• Be Ready (Enrichment) – Year 4 Showcase of learning

  Fri 02 May 2025

  Well done to all of year 4 for sharing their showcase of learning this week. The children shared lots of songs that they had learnt about the Romans. They showed the different formations that Roman soldiers used during battles and the shields the children created for homework were incredible.

• Be Ready (Enrichment) – year 6 trip to Gurdwara

  Fri 02 May 2025

  The children in year 6 enjoyed a trip to the Gurdwara this week to reinforce their understanding of how Sikh people follow their faith. The children learnt about their traditions, how they pray and what a typical day would be for a Sikh person. As mentioned previously, we ensure that every year group has a trip to a faith centre. This is to ensure that we teach tolerance and understanding so they know how people of different faiths live their life in the community in which they live.

  

• Growing together – OPAL play

  Fri 02 May 2025

  We have reached the end of the first term of OPAL lunchtimes. We have successfully managed to change the whole structure of lunchtime so all children have their lunchtime together between 12-1. This has been a logistical challenge but one that has been hugely beneficial as we are now able to have all children having the same lunchtime together. We will be reviewing the offering over Easter and looking at what we can do to make lunchtimes even more fun.

   

  We are still open for any donations but are particular looking for:

  Scooters  

  Den making material

   

  This week’s photos include so very messy mud pie making and some children who are ready for their Easter holiday already and heading abroad.

  

• Growing together – Orchestra Day

  Fri 02 May 2025

  We collaborate with 14 other schools who are all non-academy schools. We share practice, attend moderations and have different networks to support our leaders. As part of this group, we are looking at ways to enrich our offering across the schools. This week, children in year 6 attended Jesse Gray for an Orchestra Day. This was an excellent opportunity for our confident musicians to attend an event and showcase their skills. The children came together to learn a piece which they shared with parents at the end of the day. A fantastic event enjoyed by all who attended.

  

• Be Ready – Assembly this week

  Fri 02 May 2025

  This week, Nikki, Christine and Ronaldo from All Hallows visited the school. They spoke to the children about the Easter story and the different emotions people would have felt at different parts of the story. The children were all very knowledgeable about the story and were able to reflect on the emotions felt at the time. We are really pleased that we have such a good relationship with All Hallows and thankful that the continue to support us in delivering our performances. The also introduced Ronaldo to the children who is the new youth worker at the church.

  Fri 02 May 2025

  Thank you to Mrs McKibbin for taking some year 4 children to a festival this week. The children went to the East Leake academy where they played games to develop their catching and throwing skills. They were then taught the game which is a variation of bench ball. The children then played matches against other school. They had lots of fun and represented the school brilliantly.

  

• Be Ready (Enrichment) – Year 1 visit Yorkshire Wildlife Park

  Fri 02 May 2025

  A fabulous day out at Yorkshire Wildlife Park! The sun was shining and all the animals came out to enjoy the sunshine! We were so lucky! You all managed to control your escalating excitement levels whilst seeing Polar Bears, Cheetahs, Giraffes and Lions up very close! We even got to enjoy seeing baby Wallabies in the mother’s pouches!

  It was most rewarding to see you all enjoying your day and watch your facial expressions as you bravely touched a Corn Snake and held a Hissing Cockroach and Giant Snail.  Your behaviour was fantastic and you can all be proud of yourselves. Thank you for your smiles, interesting contributions to discussions on different animals and your positivity throughout the day!  We are looking forward to our next trip already!
