• Tiny Chickens to Huge Athletes

  Tue 28 Apr 2015 M. Purdy

  The Chickens have Hatched!

  We all waited with baited breath when the eggs were delivered, but just like the Duchess of Cambridge, nothing happened on hatching day. However, we are now proud foster mums and dads of nine gorgeous chickens. The Foundation Stage has never had so many visitors as we all ooh! and aaah! at the miracle of birth. The chicks are very sociable and love attention. We won't have them for long...just another week but while they are here we are all fascinated and protective of our little ones.

   

  An Olympic Athlete is in the Building

  At only 3cm short of 2 metres, Chris Tomlinson and his colleagues, also Chris, are working the children hard in the gym. Our jaws fell to the floor when we discovered how far he has jumped and we enjoyed hearing about his lifestyle as an athlete. 11 portions of fruit and vegetables a day with lots of protein to provide energy and keep good health was the answer to one of the questions about food. Can we make that it a SATs question....if an athlete eats 11 portions....

  Thank you Chris and Chris-it was an inspirational afternoon.

   

  And Talking of SATS...

  Only 7 school days to go. Year 6 have been incredible-diligent and hard working. I know my maths group have even kept a sense of humour to get them through these few intense days. 

   

  Spring Term Newsletter

  Mr. Howe is putting the finishing touches to last term's news and should be with you in the next few days. Thank you to all our "journalists" reporting on events in our school.

   

  Election

  The school community room is being used as a polling station but we will remain open. Business as usual.

   

   

   

   

   

   

  

• Here Comes Summer!

  Mon 20 Apr 2015 M. Purdy

   

  Welcome Back

   The Summer term is underway and it promises to be a term full of inspirational events and ideas. Please keep referring to our website for updated news and information. The calendar is also a useful section to help parents to plan ahead as we update it frequently.

   

  High Achieving School

  Have you had time to take a look at the school's 2014 Data Dashboard?  If you click here you will be able to see how well we are doing. The Data Dashboard is a very useful tool for parents when making decisions about the school of their choice as you can access this information for any school in the country.

   

  Welcome Miss Seel

  We are so delighted to have found a very experienced teacher to take our Year 3 class through to the end of the Summer term and, I know, Miss Seel was very excited to join our staff having spent time covering for absent staff last term. We hope she thoroughly enjoys working with us and finds Year 3 to be industrious, helpful and a joy to teach.

   

  New Teacher for September

  On the last day of term we were thrilled to appoint Mrs Abbie Houston as a classteacher to begin in September. Mrs Houston has a background in the music industry so we are very fortunate in finding yet another creative teacher for our vibrant school. We do not have classes and teachers finalised but I am almost certain Mrs Houston will teach in Year 3 so our lovely and hardworking Year 2 will be her class.

   

  Drama Club

  Rehearsals for Shakespeare Rocks are beginning to become serious as we move towards the performance in June. From this week Drama Club will work until 5.15pm so don't forget to bring a snack and some comfy clothes.
