On Friday 7th March, we invited all the girls from Reception to Year 6 to take part in a football session over lunchtime. We were taking part in the Biggest Ever Football Session run by England Football. The girl’s loved using the football pitch and goal posts to practise their football skills or just have a go at something they haven’t done before.
On 12th March, 42 of our key stage 2 children took part in a Cross Country competition at Weelsby Woods. The teams of six ran up to 2 km against 21 other primary schools from North East Lincolnshire. The children were fantastic role models for the school and all of our pupils showed incredible determination and pride. We did really well as a school coming in the top half of the rankings in almost every year group. Well done all the children who took part.
On 28th February, we were visited by the author Isabel Thomas, who has written the book, ‘The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions.’ In the autumn term, the pupils entered a competition to create their own impossible questions. Mrs Brown’s and Mr Robert’s class won a visit from the author. The winning question was, ‘Why is water wet?’ The children were enthralled by the experiments Isabel carried out for the school and came up with even more excellent questions for her. After the assembly, Isabel officially opened our reading shed. Since then, every lunchtime the Reading Ambassadors have been in charge of helping the children to use the reading shed and they are all loving reading at lunchtime.
On the 7th March, the school celebrated World Book Day. The theme for the day was ‘Who inspires us?’ The children and pupils dressed as inspirational people.
Some children had zoom meetings with Jim Smith, children’s author and illustrator and Mr Mc Grammar, who teaches rapping. Another class matched parents with their favourite books. Many children sent in fantastic photos of themselves ‘Extreme reading’ in the most incredible poses. All the children completed work based around inspirational books and shared their work in an assembly at the end of the day.
On Friday 21st March, we will be having a whole school, Science, thechnology, engineering and Maths (STEM|) Day. The children will be visiting different classrooms to learn about all aspects of STEM. We can’t wait for some STEM fun!
