• Hay Festival 2019!

  Fri 24 May 2019 Mrs Bretherton
  Year 4, 5 and 6 had another amazing day out at Hay Festival where we heard Harry Hill, Ade Adepitan and Chitra Soundar talking about their new children's story books.  It's a very busy day around the Festival site but we found time to visit the book shop and some enjoyed an ice cream in the sun too.

  

• A wonderful end to the half term

  Thu 23 May 2019 Mr D Perkins

  Firstly, thank you to everyone who attended our Family Bingo Evening on Tuesday.  It was so nice to see the hall full. Thank you again to our brilliant and hard working Friends Committee for organising the event, which raised nearly £300.

   

  On Thursday, the majority of classes were out on exciting trips. Year One and Year Two enjoyed a great day at Brockhampton, while Year Three visited the Sculpture Park to watch an amazing dance performance and explore the art work. Our oldest children had a super day at Hay Festival which also has its own blog post by Mrs Bretherton. 

   

  The children who went to Hay Festival had the exciting opportunity to see Harry Hill, Ade Adepitan and Chitra Soundar.  Many of our children were able to meet Harry Hill personally and get his autograph and some Year 4's managed to meet Cressida Cowell too - such lovely memories to keep.

   

  To end the week, we gathered in the hall to recognise the achievements of a number of children over this half term; all worthy nominations from their class teachers. It was also an opportunity to say well done to the children who receive special lunchtime cards for particularly impressive behaviour and play. 

   

  We wish you all a pleasant half term break and hope that the sun continues to shine. We look forward to seeing you on Monday June 3rd for another successful half term. 

  

• Enrichment Day

  Tue 21 May 2019 Mrs AC Phillips
  It was really special to be able to share our fifth Enrichment Day with friends and family who were shown around by our brilliant Ambassadors. It has been a fun filled day with such brilliant collaboration and learning through a range of activities, including making healthy snacks to enjoy at the end of the day before our celebration assembly. 

  

• Friday News

  Fri 17 May 2019 Mrs AC Phillips
  This week has been focused on Year Six as they have been taking their SAT's tests. The weather has been brilliant, allowing us to provide a barbecue breakfast for them and a chance to enjoy being together before school. They all well deserved a Headteacher sticker in assembly today which was also an opportunity to show us their 'non uniform' choices! We have raised money to supply all the great prizes for next weeks bingo taking place on Tuesday 21st May at 5.30 pm. The other children receiving stickers reflected our value of the month, Caring, in both their work and their attitude around school. We celebrated a range of curriculum and personal achievements. A super assembly to end the week. 

  

• Headteachers' Stickers

  Fri 10 May 2019 Mrs E Bretherton
  Congratulations to everyone who has earned their Headteachers' sticker this week!  It's such a lovely way to celebrate and share everyone's hard work. Well done.

• Year 5 visit to a famous illustrator at LHS

  Fri 03 May 2019 E. Bretherton
  Year 5 were very excited to meet a real-life illustrator today by invitation of Lady Hawkins' School.  Martin Brown, of the well-known 'Horrible Histories' books, talked to us about how he became an illustrator and his new book about little-known animals.  He also used some of our ideas to draw some funny characters!

  

• Welcome back!

  Thu 02 May 2019 Mr D Perkins

  Welcome back the summer term.  

   

  In assembly today, we congratulated children who had recycled plastics and other materials into new, useful things.  There were a huge number of entries for our judges to pick from and the effort by all was outstanding.

   

  As Year 3 & 4 are on their trip to the Roman remains at Caerleon tomorrow, we also congratulated this week's winners of the Head Teacher's Award.

   

  During the afternoon, Mr Perkins took 8 children from Year 4 up to Lady Hawkins' School for a mini-tennis competition.  Both our teams played very well and fairly;  We finished 4th and missed out on winning by 1 point!  Congratulations Eardisley, who now go through to the next stage.
