• Sunshine and Smiles

  Fri 25 Mar 2022 Mrs AC Phillips and Mr D Perkins

  It has been a glorious week with us all enjoying the sunshine and taking our learning outside, whenever possible.

  Lawn Bowls practice took place inside and the children loved it. We are delighted that, after Easter, we are able to offer a Lawn Bowls after school club. We thank Kington Bowls Club for allowing us to use their facilities.

  House Captains proudly awarded badges to the children who have met their next milestone and we congratulated the children receiving Headteacher Stickers for this week. 

  This week saw Headteacher stickers celebrating children who are ’values ambassadors’ for the school. They reflect so many of our values in all they do and this week the values of thoughtfulness, collaboration, kindness and determination shone through.

  One of our brilliant Student Teachers is finishing his teaching practice today and although we may be seeing him again soon, we wished him all the very best and thanked him for all he has contributed during his time with us. 

  We were also able to present the 1st prize in our recent inter-house competition. Once again all of the entries showed how brilliant our children are at thinking about being safe on the internet. We have fantastic posters around school to remind us.

  Thank you everyone for making the school such a caring, safe and thoughtful school for us all.

  

• Who can spot something red?

  Fri 18 Mar 2022 Mrs AC Phillips

  Today we celebrated the children being awarded Achievement Certificates as well as thinking about the reason why we are wearing red and doing some amazing things with our hair.

  It is such a difficult time for young people, and families, in this country and across the world so we took time to think about our hope for peace, kindness and understanding wherever, and whoever you are. To offer a hand of friendship, a kind word or a small gift can make such a difference.

  Our children are always so thoughtful and wish that every child could enjoy warmth, love and a happy safe place to be.

  We thanked our families for their gifts this week to support children the world over.

   

  

• Another busy week!

  Fri 11 Mar 2022 Mrs Bretherton

  Wow - it's so hard to believe it's Friday again already! We've had a busy week across the school.  We've had workshops with Steve, Sarah and Clare from Hands UP for the Planet! in Year 5 and 6, looking at how we can live sustainably and be kinder to our planet; our School Council were invited by the LHS School Council to join in with their Queen's Canopy celebration by planting four oak trees and building frames to protect them; building marshmallow bridges in Year 6; sports sessions with Mr Haynes, our new sports coach and, of course, our Friday celebration of Headteacher stickers and house point badges.  Phew - have a good rest over the weekend everyone.

  

• An exciting week including 'World Book Day'

  Fri 04 Mar 2022 Mrs Welson and Mrs Bretherton

  Happy ‘World Book Day’ everyone! What a lovely day we had thinking about reading for pleasure. We were delighted to welcome many different characters and authors into school on Thursday as you can see from the photos. Across school everyone had the chance to work with Jamie from ‘The Courtyard’ and we all enjoyed exploring literature through drama. As part of the ‘World Book Day’ celebrations everyone will be bringing home a £1 book voucher which can be put towards either a special £1 book published for the event or use it as £1 towards another book.

  Year 5 and 6 put on their own marvellous Victorian Museum this week too which was visited by lots of keen visitors from the other classes as well as the Year 5 and 6 parents.  It was a really interesting display and the labels explained the items really clearly.  Thank you to all the pupils and staff who worked so hard to make that happen and thank you for your support at home with all these amazing activities.

  Congratulations to all our Headteacher Sticker awardees this week too.  Everybody has worked really hard this week and it was very hard to our staff to choose just two in each class!  Have a lovely weekend everyone.
