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

On Tuesday we celebrated European Languages day, our theme this year was Italy so the children and teachers dressed in the colours of the Italian flag.
Our day included learning Italian phrases, learning Italian numbers and carrying out research about Italy.
To conclude, we would like to thank Mrs Taylor and all our Italian speaking visitors for sharing their knowledge and answering our questions about the country, language and their experiences. It was a very valuable experience and we gained a lot from it.

Ethos Council, by Mrs Kellett
Date: 28th Sep 2015 @ 12:21am
On Thursday, our Ethos and Distinctiveness Committee met for the first time. This is a newly formed committee that forms part of our Governing Body. Rev Gary and Margaret met with our ethos council and our school council to discuss worship in our school.
They told the Governors all about the great things that happen in each class during our class worship sessions and how they are going to help the teachers make it even better.
They have asked to start to lead worship in front of the whole school and that is something Miss Hope and I are going to help them with.
Well done children. I was so proud of how confident and articulate you were in front of our Governors.
