Councillor David Francis joined us as a special guest in our assembly. He is a local councillor who is a member of the Green Party. He talked to us about what inspired him to want to make a difference in his local community and then presented the Eco Warriers with the Eco -Schools Award flag and certificate.
We look forward to welcoming him back to school so that he can find out more about our Conservation themes.
4 Red have been enjoying learning their numbers in French this term through a variety of games. Playing games allows the children to develop their speaking and listening skills in a fun way. Year 4 have been revising their numbers to 21 playing the traditional “goose game” jeu de l’oie as well as the well known game ‘connect 4’.

[Year 4 have been busy problem solving in Maths this week. They needed to use their multiplication knowledge to help them arrange four numbers (1, 2, 3 and 21) on a grid to make a diagonal, vertical or horizontal line. They could only put a number card on a square with a multiple of that number or factor of that number. The children really enjoyed solving this problem, finding as many different ways as they could. Well done Year 4!
The theme of this Years Mental Health Week is ‘Let’s Connect’. Connection is vital for our wellbeing. Let’s Connect is about making meaningful connections and Miss Smith from the Healthy Minds Team came into school to today and delivered and assembly to encourage our children (and staff) to connect with others in healthy, rewarding, and meaningful ways.
To celebrate Mental Health Week in school and to raise awareness of the importance of children’s mental health we have completed lots of different activities in class through out the week.
Last week the School Council and Eco Warriors worked together on a bird feeder project. We had a visit from Groundworks who talked to the children about visiting the tip, why you would go and what the children had dropped off. We then discussed how we deal with rubbish and recycling and the importance of 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
We learned the importance of keeping the earth happy and the damage of climate change. The teams made bird feeders from recyclable material and then we hung them around our gardens! The two groups worked so well together and were a credit to us all.
This week in English, we have been learning how to write a script. First, we looked at some examples of scripts to find the features and then compared them to our regular reading book. This helped us to understand what a script looks like and how we should present our own.
Then, we acted out a scene from our class text, Leon and The Place Between. This helped us to work out what stage directions we needed to add to our script.
Finally we began to write. We used all of the skills that we had learned over the week and applied them to our own scripts.
Breakfast Club
Due to the rise in the number of children attending breakfast club and the need to increase staffing levels in the hall.
From Monday 27th February, any child attending breakfast club must arrive before 8.30am. After this point the breakfast club doors will be closed.
Thank you
