In the week before half term, some of our Year 6 children were lucky enough to go on residential to Paris! They left school super early on Tuesday 21^st May for a long journey across the channel to stay at The Explorers hotel in Paris. When the children arrived, they visited Disney village to spend some of their money before returning to the hotel for food and swimming. On Wednesday, they travelled into Paris city centre and went on a boat cruise down the River Seine, looking at all of the main attractions on their way before having lunch underneath the Eiffel Tower. They then climbed the 674 steps to the second floor of the Eiffel Tower and explored the view from the top too! Thursday took us to Disneyland, where all the children (and adults!) enjoyed a day of thrill-seeking rides, watching the parade of Disney characters and staying late for the drone light show. On Thursday, they also had dinner at Billy Bob's buffet! It is safe to say that all of the children had a fantastic time, and came back with incredible memories of Paris too!

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.

Year 2 had a great pirate theme day last week. We enjoyed measuring the capacity of pirate punch and wrote our very own message in a bottle. In the afternoon, we carried out lots of pirate jobs, made hardtack biscuits and then completed a tricky treasure hunt. What a fantastic day!
