Year 1 enjoyed a magical space themed day filled with fun activities to bring our fantastic ‘Man on the Moon’ topic to an end. In Maths, the children used shapes and nets to create rockets. We listened to a real-life Astronaut who told us a story from her rocket in space - it was amazing! Then, we wrote instructions to make a rocket in Phonics. In the afternoon, we practically made our rocket from lots of different materials, designed a space suit and completed an obstacle course for the final stage of Space Camp. All Year 1 children impressed staff with their enthusiasm and attitude towards activities, we really did have “The BEST day ever!”

Last night, Year 4's brightest mathematicians took to the hall to compete in the house Maths competition. Tensions were high as the rounds tested our great mathletes, pushing their problem-solving skills and perseverance to the limits. After 6 maths-filled rounds full of challenges, our junior maths experts showed their determination with a last minute win by Spider house!

Well done to spider house and everyone who competed, for more pictures from the night, please see our gallery

On Wednesday afternoon, 4BB had a fantastic time enjoying their attendance reward treat at Hollywood Bowl Resorts World. As pupils had the best attendance for the Autumn term, they enjoyed a tasty meal alongside unlimited bowling as part of their reward.

"The food was really nice and we had the best time ever!" quoted Maizie.

Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts. 
During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride.
