Our overall attendance this week was 94.3%

Each week, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils can be recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons. 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.

Well done to our ‘Pupil of the Week’ winners this week:

Taylor – 1ERS

Harriet – 1SG

Last night saw the culmination of the Smith's Wood House Dodgeball season as Year 2 proudly took centre stage for a staggering competition.

The atmosphere was electric and fuelled by intense excitement, energetic displays of athleticism and great enthusiasm.

The night ended with a 'last pupil standing' competition with house points raining down on our champions.

All pupils had a fantastic time and enjoyed the last of our great house Dodgeball competitions.

Over the last 2 weeks, year 3 have been participating in a D&T project of building bridges! Last week, we researched different kinds of bridges and designed a bridge which could cross a small body of water. This week, we have made these bridges from lolly sticks, spaghetti, straws, tape and glue and tested them using a toy car. Whilst some bridges weren’t as successful as others, all children understood how to add strength to their bridges when we evaluated how to improve them for next time. 

Pupils from Year 5 attended John Henry Newman Catholic School last evening to participate in a School Games Value Dodgeball Event.  It was the Smith's Wood Values that were displayed with excellence that ensured all participants had a thoroughly enjoyable evening competing against other local schools.  Friendship and Honesty was displayed throughout with the demonstration of respect for the opposition and the rules of the game.  A great evening's entertainment matched by enormous enthusiasm to be back competing again on an interschool basis.  Well done to all our pupils who represented Smith's Wood Primary Academy.
