  Our Young Voice Choir shared some of their amazing singing with school, encouraging us to join in with the words and the actions. It was brilliant and we could see why they had had such a great time last Friday in Birmingham.

  We also gave really special certificates to two of our pupils who decided that they wanted to give their hair to The Princess Trust so that wigs can be made for children who had lost their own hair due to cancer. A remarkable gesture and one that will make another child's life just that bit easier.

  

• Young Voices 2018

  Wed 31 Jan 2018 Mrs Bretherton
  Mrs Argyle, Ms Loxton and Mrs Bretherton had the pleasure of taking a choir of 38 children to the Genting Arena on Friday 26th January for the fantastic Young Voices event.  We had a brilliant time joining in with the other 6500 children from around the country as well as singing along with some fantastic singers such as Natalie Williams, Alfie Sheard and The Magnets - a beatbox crew.  We even had a chance to be on Natalie Williams's new album by recording a song with her!

  We wished a large number of our key stage 2 children good luck this morning as they set off on their way to Birmingham to perform in the Young Voices concert.  We will post an update on how it went next week.

   

  Congratulations to these children this week, for being nominated for a Head Teacher Award.  Again, many of the reasons for these children being picked were for their effort, skill and determination - but all the while showing humility.  Well done everyone.

  Fri 19 Jan 2018 Mr D Perkins

  On Wednesday we welcomed Heather to our assembly representing Scouts.  She shared the different uniforms and some of the types of badges that can be achieved.  There is a taster-session on Saturday 20th January and so many of the children were excited by Heather's visit.

   

  On Thursday, Year 6 had a Challenge Day at Lady Hawkins', where the children worked fantastically in teams to design, make and pitch a new drink for the Winter Olympics.  Congratulations to two of our groups, who were awarded 2nd and 1st place!

   

  We ended the week by congratulating two children from each class that had been noticed by their class teachers for special reasons.  We had a few children this week whose reasons linked to our current value of 'humility'.  Well done to you all.

  We have had some nice achievements to celebrate over the week. 

   

  Firstly, well done to one of our Year 5 children for winning a story competition and earning £25 towards her class' book collection.  

   

  We also congratulated this week's children for earning a Headteacher Sticker Award.  Once again, there were a number of fantastic reasons and all the children were so proud, as are we of them.

   

  On Wednesday, a Year 5 and a Year 6 team went to represent us in a cluster athletics tournament.  We had a number of very positive comments about our children's effort, skill and manners - well done!  We are still awaiting the result of how our teams did and whether or not we will be advancing to the next stages.

   

  To end the week, Year 1 treated us to a fantastic class assembly.  The children retold together their class story and presented their beautiful designs of their book covers.  Along with some information about 'materials' in science, the whole school enjoyed seeing some of the year 1 children share with us three of their gymnastics shapes.  Thank you Year 1.

  A huge congratulations to our first sticker winners of 2018!  There were many lovely reasons including children who have welcomed our new pupils and helped them to settle in so brilliantly. Thank you everyone and enjoy the weekend.

  It was lovely having all the children back in school today.  We started the new year with our 'Christmas' / New Year lunches.  In the meantime, Year 6 children did a great job at organising and running a range of fun lunchtime games for children across the school.

   

  Happy New Year everyone.
