• Some amazing grammar work

  Fri 29 Sep 2023

  In July, all of the teachers had some fantastic training on punctuation and grammar, with Mitch from Grammarsaurus. 

   

  This week, it's been the children's turn to become experts too.  Within Literacy lessons across the school, you could hear lots of talk about subjects, nouns, full stops and capital letters. Take a look at the year 5/6 class page to see how they have been tackling their grammar work.

• Some Exciting News for our EYFS class

  Wed 13 Sep 2023 Mrs Stevens

  A BIG thank you to MJS construction ...

   

  During the Summer term of 2023, the EYFS team decided to create a new outdoor area.  This would be to develop PSE, physical development, communication, language and literacy, maths, understanding of the world and imaginative play.  The children already used a small stone area to develop these areas but a larger area became available which would develop and extend thinking.  A request was put on social media and we were very lucky that MJS construction agreed to support us.

   

  MJS agreed to donate a large amount of pebbles that would fill the new area, enabling a construction approach to be used.  During this time they also offered to support us further by donating more equipment.  Mr Robinson then set to work, creating the area and filling it with the donated stones.  A further delivery then came from MJS construction........ it was very exciting!  They had sourced some hard hats, safety googles, ear defenders, construction vests and........two sit on diggers!

   

  We are so lucky that our community comes to the rescue when funds are low and want to send our thanks to all concerned.

  

• Cross-curricular orienteering!

  Tue 05 Sep 2023

  Today we were visited by the team at Cross-curricular orienteering. They have worked with the children to introduce the new orienteering course that has been set up around our grounds.

  The children enjoyed the day very much!

   

  After school, the teachers were trained by the team on how to use this course across the curriculum.
