Pirate Day!

Fri 25 Nov 2016

Our Year 1 pupils had a great time celebrating all they had learnt through their topic ‘By the sea’ in a special end of term ‘Pirate Day!’ The children and their teachers came to school dressed as pirates and enjoyed a variety of exciting activities. They walked the plank, climbed the rigging and mopped the decks during a fun PE lesson, worked together to make pirate hats, flags and ships, went on a treasure hunt and decorated and enjoyed eating biscuits in an end of the day Pirate party! The children were very busy Pirates indeed and loved learning through this fun topic.

Park Smart!

Fri 25 Nov 2016

Why do we need ‘Park Smart?’

Many schools experience traffic chaos at the beginning and end of the school day. Double parking, children getting out of cars and running across the road, parents parking on the yellow zig zags at the school gates and even parking on pavements. Visibility is reduced, making it really dangerous for other pedestrians and the families of our school.

To try and combat this problem as part of Road Safety Week, our school council members have enlisted the help of our local council Road Safety Officer (Nigel) to patrol the school car park and the streets around our school at the beginning and end of the school day ensuring that parents park safely.

The children learnt about the importance of keeping themselves safe on and near roads during a whole school assembly led by our Road Safety Officer. As part of this drive to ensure safe parking outside our school we are inviting all children to take part in a poster competition, children can design a poster on any aspect of road safety. Entries must be in school by Monday 28th November.

Remembrance Day

Fri 25 Nov 2016

We believe it is important to remember those who gave their lives so we could live ours on this special day within school. All children across the school participated in various remembrance activities, creating poppies through a range of different media, writing cards, watching related video clips and participating in a 1 minute silence. Our Year 2 children also went on a walk to visit and sketch the local war memorial in Shenley Church End.

Whatever the weather!

Fri 25 Nov 2016

To start their new topic ‘Whatever the weather’ our Year 1 children have been noticing the seasonal changes from Autumn into Winter. They have already made season wheels, written about different story settings, created Autumn scenes and collected Autumn objects through a walk to Joshua’s garden. Many more exciting activities are still to come during the rest of the term.

Ask your child if they notice some of the changes outside in our weather and the seasons when out and about!
