Whittle Cup , by Mr Warner
Date: 23rd Jun 2016 @ 10:04am
Some of our Year 5 and 4 pupils took part in the Whittle Cup Tournament yesterday. They were up against teams of Year 6 pupils from other schools. But they showed great determination throughout and managed to even win one of their games. In two of the other games they were only beaten by last minute tries.

Rio Olympics- A Sporting Chance, by Mrs Taylor
Date: 22nd Jun 2016 @ 5:36pm
Following our sports week we looked at issues such as whether Rio was a good choice as host city and whether competitors from all nations stand an equal sporting chance when it comes to winning medals. Do all countries have the same training facilities for their sportsmen? We discussed inequality between countries as well as within countries. We finished the session with a debate about these issues.

Books for Tanzania, by Mrs Taylor
Date: 21st Jun 2016 @ 4:19pm
This year we have been raising money to help ACE charity to build new classrooms for the children they help in Tanzania. Linking in with our book project we thought it would be helpful to also send books for their library. Children in y1 and y5 discussed the books they thought the children would enjoy. We will pass their choices on to Sue and Ron Hayes for when they next visit.
Skyping across the Channel, by Miss Hope

What an exciting morning Q2 had last Thursday! Mrs Taylor arranged a Skype call with École Maternelle Langevin in Bouligny, France. Children in Q2 were able to perform some French songs for Madame Marchetti's class. We were also joined by Mr Platt, a French teacher from Cowley and some of his Year 8 pupils. Our Q2 children were fantastic representatives of our school and made Miss Hope and Mrs Taylor very proud. Thank you Mrs Taylor for arranging a super opportunity for the children.

The weather behaved itself for the morning and we were able to run a fantastic Sports Day this year.

Eco Club, by Mrs Atherton

The children made bird boxes and bird feeders in Eco Club. They had to screw the bird boxes together showing great team work ensuring every child had a go. Then they had to paint the boxes and finally, they made bird feeders. Thank Mr Ward, they loved this activity. They then sold the boxes at the Summer Fair.

Shipwreck in P1! , by Miss Fisher
Date: 18th Jun 2016 @ 1:34pm
Throughout the infant classes we have been reading a story called The Pirates Next Door by Jonny Duddle. We have been getting to know the main character Matilda. She is a lonely little girl who longs for another child to play with. The old, seaside town she lives in is full of boring grown ups and it seems that nothing ever happens until ... The Jolley Rogers' are shipwrecked in Dull-on-Sea!
Well, that's just what happened in Class P1 too! A pirate ship came crashing into our classroom and on it we found gold, jewels, cutlasses and treasure maps.

Date: 18th Jun 2016 @ 9:49am
Mrs Taylor has been working with a group of our junior children every Friday to do additional French sessions. They have been working on their conversational skills and have also produced a magazine all written in French. Copies have been placed in our main entrance area for you to have a read - I'm sure like me, you will be impressed.
Busy busy Sports Week!, by Miss Hughes
Date: 17th Jun 2016 @ 10:43pm
Wow what a busy week it has been for sport! I want to say a huge thank you to all involved. I couldn't have done it without my absolutely AMAZING Sports Leaders who helped our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children on their Sports Day on Wednesday. They were so helpful and kind and gave really clear instructions to help our younger children complete their activities successfully. Teachers and parents came up to me and commented how fab they all were. Very proud! :) You are a credit to us!
