Today Year 6 had a lovely, peaceful time sketching nature around our school. Just lovely!

Year 4 perfected their long jump today with Mr Williams. I'm loving the action shots. Great work Year 4

In P4C today we discussed the factors which may radicalise a person. We had mature discussions about how a person could take part in an act of terror. Well done for your sensible discussions year 6.

Today year 6 had a visit from Connor who is a Facilities Project Manager for the General Medical Council. He spoke to the class about how he entered an apprenticeship and moved up through different levels to be a manager. He talked about the different roles in his job.

I was very impressed with the questions asked by the class. Thank you to Connor for sharing your experiences with Year 6.

Year 4 started their work on mountains today. They used the atlases well to locate mountains of the U.K and were able to identify parts of a mountain. 

We are delighted that our school has been selected to take part in an exciting pilot programme to improve careers education in primary schools across England. This pilot programme is being run by your local Careers Hub, funded by The Careers & Enterprise Company and evaluated in partnership with ImpactEd Evaluation. ImpactEd Evaluation is an independent evaluator that supports high-quality monitoring and evaluation in schools.  

Year 5 had a fantastic visit from Green Watch today. They discussed the importance of respect, honesty, hard-work and dedication needed in their jobs. The Fire Fighters gave an overview of the training needed to work as a team and the long hours involved. Many were very inspired by their talk. Thank you to Green Watch for their time and delivering lots of important messages. 

Year 1 loved using cricket bats and rackets for the time today in their targets games lesson. They practised hitting the ball at a target before we added fielders in to make it more challenging. Well done everyone!

Lots of fun was had at the Disney Shooting Stars club tonight with Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. We played lots of games focusing on our fundamental movement skills whilst we pretended to be Mufasa, Simba, Nala, Zazu and Scar. We also practised our dribbling skills, throwing and catching. Finally we did a relay in teams to collect cones and then created a picture of Simba with them. Thank you to the Game Changers who helped to deliver the session and also judged the best Simba. 

Today in gymnastics we added balances to our sequences as we moved our way across the apparatus. We tried to focus on using different levels and dynamics. Can you spot any back/front support? Can you see a dish or arch balance? Can you spot anyone using a tuck or pike balance?
