  Good morning! You'll notice we have some of our older pupils demonstrating some of the sign language they have learnt this week with Katie who specialises in BSL. See if your children can remember the signs they were acting out in assembly this morning to teach you - they were very good!  Thank you to Katie for coming into school to do the workshops with Years 5 and 6 as well as the staff; we found it so interesting and loved being able to communicate in a different way.

  Congratulations to our house point badge awardees and our Headteacher sticker winners today. So many were chosen for making super progress and for being wonderful role models around the school so thank you to them all.

  It's been a really lovely end to the week! We had our first assembly with everyone from Reception all the way up to Year 6 with us and we were able to celebrate lots of house point badges as well as the Headteacher's Stickers.  Well done to you all! A lot of teachers mentioned children making huge progress and great choices, wonderful story writing skills and showing kindness by helping and encouraging others around them. 

  Thank you to our lovely House Captain team who were the first to enjoy our new signs and maps that we have put up today.  They really are fantastic and will give us all a chance to practise our map-reading skills and view the different parts of our town, continent and the world. Please look out for some more in the next few months.

  Have a lovely weekend everyone - take care.

  We had a fantastic time at the World Resorts Arena on Friday, joining over 5500 children from other schools to sing and dance through a very exciting evening Young Voices performance.  Thank you to our marvellous Young Voices choir from Years 4, 5 and 6 who represented the school so well and sang their hearts out!

   

  

• Headteacher stickers

  Thu 11 Jan 2024 Mrs. A. Welson

  It has been so lovely to welcome everyone back to our new term and new year this week.

  We have had a busy and exciting start to the new term and tomorrow our Young Voices singers from Years 4,5 and 6 are going to Birmingham to sing as part of the 'Young Voices' performance, due to this we had our sticker assembly today.

  Our sticker children this week have done ever so well to impress their class adults in just a few days so congratulations to you all.

  Reasons for the stickers this week included showing a positive learning attitude at all times, demonstrating our values of kindness and thoughtfulness to others and for showing determination to start our new term with focus and positive learning behaviours. Stickers were also awarded for showing excellent understanding in maths, showing enthusiasm in all lessons and for improvements in reading comprehension and handwriting.

  Wow! What a super variety of reasons for our stickers this week.
