Today, we had a visitor in school. His name was Mr Edge. We spent the morning going in and out of classes looking at teaching and learning. He wanted me to pass on his thanks to the children for making him feel so welcome and he was so impressed with our children. He said 'They are a real credit to you, the school and their parents'.
Another proud headteacher moment. Well done children

Today in worship we heard all about how brave and mighty Gideon was and how despite his fear, he never stopped listening to God. We then sang some of our favourite songs. It was lovely to spend some time enjoying ourselves in the hall! I am going to ask one of the teachers next time to video the children singing because it truly is amazing!

International Languages Day
On the 29th September Queen's Park celebrated international languages day!
We all had so much fun learning all about Italy and the children loved coming in to school wearing the Italian flag colours.
A big thank you to Mrs Taylor for planning lots of lovely things around the school.
Year One learnt some Italian phases, an Italian dance with Miss Emma and ate some beautiful Italian food at dinner time. We also made some lovely Venetian masks after learning a little about Venice- a city in Italy!
Check out some pictures from the day!

Say No to Bullying , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 7th Oct 2015 @ 10:44pm
In today's worship we looked at the 10 Commandments and the guidance God gaves us to live by. We then looked at our school rules and how we treat each other in school. I showed the children a 'blob' picture of lots of different scenarios and how it made them feel. We also spoke about how we use our hands and voices for kindness.
The children are also learning to sing 'Sing' by Gary Barlow! They sound amazing.

This morning Q4 spent the day at Langtree Park at Saints School. The coaches praised the children's behaviour and I was proud of the way they answered questions. They tried on players' jerseys in the changing rooms, walked through the players' tunnel onto the pitch, did a training session and learned about diet and nutrition. Well done Q4 Mrs Taylor

A rocket has landed in Queen's Park!!!!!!, by Miss Glover
Date: 30th Sep 2015 @ 11:22pm
On Monday morning Year One discovered that a rocket had taken an emergency landing in Queen’s Park!!
We was all very excited and went outside to view the rocket.
Who do you think was inside the rocket? How did it get there?
We have discovered that an alien Bee-Bot has got lost and needs to return to his rocket. How can we get him back?
This week we are learning all about instructions! By the end of the week Year One will have learnt to read, share and write their own instructions.

It is a big responsibility and one I know our year six children will live up to

Today we got to meet Jessica Parish, the author of Pugalugs. We were also lucky enough to meet Pugalugs himself! We also met his very cute brother Dug.
Jessica talked to us about her job as an author, as well as telling us some tales about Pugalugs and the adventures he has got up to with Dug and Grandad.
We had a fantastic afternoon and look forward to engaging with some writing about Pugs in our literacy lessons, as well as reading more of Pugalug's adventures in the future!
