Here are the children who received praise this week!
Congratulations to all of our children that performed ‘Little Red’ to their families yesterday. We had children ranging from Year 1-6 who told the story of Little Red Riding Hood in a musical way. Thanks goes to Miss Needham, who put the performance together.
Today, our house captains led a Boccia tournament, which was our first intra-house competition of the school year.
The children selected were from a range of year groups, and performed brilliantly, with some really close games! Well done to our young officials who helped the games run smoothly.
The results are on our school games noticeboard!
EYFS children have been celebrating World Nursery Rhyme week by learning a rhyme a day. This year the rhymes were: Twinkle Twinkle, Old Macdonald Had a Farm, The Big Ship Sails, Incy Wincy Spider and Five Currant Buns. Nursery children have worked together as a team using a squirble to sing Twinkle Twinkle, instruments matched to animals for Old Macdonald, a ring game for Incy Wincy spider and a shop with a till and real pennies for Five Currant Buns.
Yesterday, some Year 5 and 6 children attended a dodgeball event competing against 9 other schools. It was a very tight competition, with some very close matches. I was very proud of the children’s attitude and manner, with them modelling respect at the end of every match by shaking the oppositions hand. We were proud to have finished 5th overall.
Years 1-6 took part in Outdoor Day yesterday, they had the opportunities to use their Geographical Field skills.
Year 1 were looking at signs of Autumn and the weather around our school grounds.
Year 2 walked to Clargate Park and looked for Human and Physical features along the way. They also shared their opinions of different parts of the park.
Year 3 walked to the local church and looked for different types of rocks used in buildings.
Year 4 were looking at the path of the River Severn and thinking about the Water journey.
Year 5 walked to St Edmunds and looked at the changes happening in our local community and linked this to our Catholic Social Teaching of Caring for our Common Home.
Year 6 thought about how it can be more sustainable as a school and restarted our recycling in the classrooms. They also linked this to our Catholic Social Teaching of Caring for our Common Home.
Thank you to the Learn Play Foundation who led their first of three sessions for our Year 6 children to support their learning in computing.
The sessions enable the children to think about possible careers in the creative digital industries.These involve using 3D pens, robotics and VR equipment!
