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.

Last night, Smith's Wood pupils faced the complex challenge of the Taskmaster house competition. Using their wit and ingenuity, year 6 pupils were asked to complete a plethora of tasks and challenges for a chance to emerge victorious as the grand Taskmaster champions. School values were on display in abundance with all teams showing fantastic friendship and determination. Despite a difficult and well-fought competition, Hulk house managed to emerge the victors! Well done to Hulk house and everyone involved.

Last night, Year 6 threw down the gauntlet of the Smith's Wood Olympic challenge for Reception. Rising to the occasion, the arena was filled by propelled javelins, intense bouncing, lightning quick running, stratospheric jumping and pinpoint bean-bag accuracy. A fantastic time was had by all classes and some amazing coaching from the year 6 leaders. Phenomenal displays of all house values were seen throughout the night with both year 6 and reception showing great levels of respect and friendship. ROT class managed to emerge victorious from the night with the largest showing of pupils from the class as well as some super-human levels of Olympic competition. Well done to ROT and the rest of reception as well as a huge thank you for all our Year 6 helpers!
