On Thursday 13^th October we hosted an after school in-house School netball tournament for children in Years 5 & 6.  The tournament gave children the opportunity to put into practice some of the skills that they have been learning in PE this term.

The weather was on our side with the rain staying away. The children showed great determination and sportsmanship and a great time was had by all.

Iain Kirman will be running free guitar taster lessons for groups of children on 27th September, for those interested in taking up guitar lessons in school.  Please check your Parentmail emails for further information.

KS2 Sports Day - refining technique, engaging determination and continuing commitment. Very proud of our KS2 pupils for putting on a wonderful sporting display on Friday

Wednesday gave an opportunity for our youngest members of the school community to enjoy their school sports day. They all did so incredibly well, showing passion and determination. Well done Reception and KS1!

The Year 6s are home from their three days of adventure at Braeside.  Abseiling, kayaking, team work, orienteering, leap of faith, high ropes.  I think we nearly broke them!

Since the launch of Accelerated Reader at the start of the year, the children have been reading books, taking quizzes and earning points. The more they read, the more points they earn. A massive well done to Year 5 who are our top scoring year group this year. They achieved an enormous 1168 points. Year 3 were 2nd with 782 points and Year 4 were 3rd with 749 points. Well done to all the children who have been reading regularly in school and at home.

Another special prize was awarded in assembly last week. Lily designed a wonderful display which has now been finished and has been put up in the hall. Each term the points earned by each year group will be tracked to see which year group earns the most. Watch this space to find out which year will win and receive the reading cup at the end of Term 6. 

Reception and KS1 will have a sports morning on 13th July and parents will be invited to attend. We anticipate that it will start around 9:45/10 and finish by 11:45. Exact timings will be confirmed in due course with further details about the morning.

Parents meeting with senior leaders to identify issues that matter to our school parent/carer community in preparation for questionnaire to follow at end of Term 6.

* Wednesday 29th June 9-10 am

* Thursday 6th July 2.30-3.10 pm
