Well done to Lottie who was awarded our first Head Teacher Award of the Year for her outstanding improved score on our weekly times table test. An increase of 34 marks was very impressive!

Well done also to Amie and Annabelle who were awarded Head Teacher Awards for their selflessness shown to others. They gave-up the opportunity to sleep in a bunk-bed on our residential so that another pair could.

Well done to Theo K, for becoming our first 5R Champion of the year for your resilience and determination to succeed in Maths.

Congratulations also to Georgie, for your consistent resourcefulness and resilience in all aspects of school life so far.

Proud to be Me! Friday 30th June ’23

30/06/2023 by Miss. C.

Today, all across school we have explored why pride (the emotion) is important to us personally and to others in our school community, local community and global community.

We explored how Pride (the celebration) takes place each June and how we felt about this celebration.

We were shocked to learn some facts about the discrimination some members of the LGBTQ+ community face still today in 2023!

British Values at work . . .

18/05/2023 by Miss. C.

Today Year 5 were able to put 2 of our British Values into action –

DEMOCRACY & MUTUAL RESPECT

A number of our class members had spotted that our current storage system for our scooters and bikes was not working anymore. Together they discussed the problems and found solutions. A democratic vote was then taken to agree the new system moving forward.

Some class members then created new signs for the designated areas and some wrote to our parents informing them of the changes.

Dear Parents / Carers,

We are writing to inform you that we have spotted a problem with the storage of scooters and bikes for Years 4, 5 and 6. The current bike rack (by the chicken coop) is not big enough to home all scooters and bikes from these year groups. Year 5 have this afternoon worked to solve this problem. From tomorrow, Friday 19th May 2023, a designated area has been given for all scooters, Year 4 & 5 bikes and Year 6 bikes.

All scooters will continue to be stored near the chicken coop. Bikes from Years 4 & 5 will be stored in the bike rack outside of Year 5 and all bikes from Year 6 will now be stored in the bike rack outside of Year 6.

We are hopeful that this will stop arguments and overcrowding from happening and we can all show respect to each others’ property.

Finally, please can we request that you ensure your child is wearing a helmet to protect them incase of an accident.

Yours sincerely,

Abi, James E & Miss. Corkhill from Year 5

Watch this space to see how things work out from tomorrow . . .
