Chris Connaughton came in to perform the classic, historical poem 'Beowulf'. We then used what we had heard to draw pictures of what we thought Beowulf and Gredel looked like. This helps us with the rest of our English unit.
Dear Parents and Carers
We are delighted to send you a copy of the final Ofsted report which we have just received in school, and this will be published on the Ofsted website.
Please take time to read the accompanying letter which gives more information.
We are pleased to have received such a positive and strong validation of our school which recognises the hard work that goes on in school by everyone every single day.
Yours sincerely
Mrs SA Evans
Headteacher
Just like the day of the London Marathon itself, we were blessed with very warm and sunny weather. Despite the heat, all pupils completed the 2.6Km route, or as close as they could manage.
We are so very proud of the fantastic efforts of the children with their fundraising and their determination and resilience to continue running during such temperatures.
Throughout the 0.4 km laps, pupils passed significant London landmark markers such as the Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, The London Eye and finishing along our on Mall, outside the Pavilion building, in the lead up to Buckingham Palace. We hope that this, combined with the fantastic support from parents and carers, will have given the children a taste of the London Marathon spirit during the event.
Following their superb efforts, the fundraising total currently stands at approximately £6000! A huge step towards our target needed to pay for the new playground installation.
A big thank you to all who have helped us achieve this total!
We were extremely lucky that the rain held off for us to be able to attend this event safely last week.
I was really pleased to give so many children the experience of running in this long-distance event and it was great to also develop their teamworking skills.
This event is quite involved and as there are strict rules regarding the running order of the children in each race. Each team is made up of 6 children and so we had 2 Year 4 teams and 1 team of Year 3 children. There are 2 races with each race over 3 laps with 2 boys and 1 girl running in the 1st race and then 2 girls and 1 boy running their laps in the second race. They wear a green number to start, passing to the runner with the yellow number, who hands over to the final runner wearing the red team number. The combined placings of the 3rd runner in race 1 and 2 are totalled to provide a score.
I was proud of all the children running as for some this was their first school sports competition. Everyone gave their all and we all managed to complete the laps without injury, which was a huge relief! The Year 4 teams came 7th and 18th and the Year 3 team finished 16th out of 28 teams.
Keep running!
Our Year 4’s were really proud to be representing the school again after winning the qualification event last month.
It was a full afternoon of non-stop tennis with sadly no strawberries and cream in sight!
All 4 children played 6 matches against their opposing numbered seeds and they were all quite close. The aim of the game is to score as many points as possible during each match as the points are totalled to provide an overall team total. We maintained our concentration and played extremely well to gain silver position in our tier.
Well done and thanks to all parents and Mrs Cummin for supporting at this event.
