We have been SO lucky! We have had a visit from our friends at Morrisons.  Our school has been nominated to receive fabulous books donated from Head Office. Thanks to everyone that suggested our school. The books are a welcome addition to our library.

On Friday 27th January a group of Year 5 and 6 children visited Fierce Elite Cheerleading Academy for a day of cheerleading workshops. The pupils spent the afternoon preparing and performing a cheerleading routine and had an amazing time.

We had a fantastic time on Friday 20th January at our Lunar New Year celebrations. The children took part in activities during the day to learn about Chinese culture and the yearly celebrations, including writing about the Chinese New Year story,  descriptions of chinese dragon dances,  creating Chinese lanterns and attempting Chinese writing. All pupils tasted chinese food and said it was delicious. This day is a part of our new programme of enrichment events which we will be taking part in to cover social, moral, spiritual and cultural development.

Each class has a worry monster. Children can share their worries using the classroom worry monster. They can do this anonymously or use their name. Mrs Billingham, our learning mentor, or the class teacher will be able to talk to the pupil or have a discussion in the class circle time.

We also have now introduced Trusted Trev.  Certain members of staff carry a small worry monster on their lanyard. Pupils can talk to any adult with a Trusted Trev worry monster at any time about any worries they have. We will always listen and give time to children and support them in any way we can.

On Monday 3rd March, Key Stage 1 had an amazing experience with @ReachOutArtsuk taking a look into medieval times. The pupils were able to handle many replicas of objects from medieval times, including gauntlets, helmets, jewelery and cups. They were given a demonstration of how bows and arrows were used and even took home their own replica medieval coin. 

On 28th of February, the school were very lucky to have the children’s poet, Ian Bland, visiting school for workshops with the pupils throughout the day. The pupils and staff loved his humorous poetry and we had two great days. The children created and performed incredible poetry.
