To celebrate the amazing amount of reading completed at home this half term, all year groups had a Reading Raffle winner announced this morning! For every 3 (in KS1) and 5 (in KS2) reads completed at home, that child receives a reading raffle ticket. This half term, a winner was picked from each year group, and that winner was able to select a book to take home as their prize. 

These lucky children were: 

• Darcie-Mai (Reception)
• Cameron (Year 1)
• Ainain (Year 2)
• Lucas (Year 3)
• Seren (Year 4)
• Phoebe (Year 5)
• Meila-Rae (Year 6)

To continue encouraging this huge amount of reading, next half term there will be a winner per class! Please continue to read with your child at home so that they can receive as many raffle tickets as possible!

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.

On Tuesday 23^rd September, Vikings travelled from Denmark, Sweden and Norway to conquer the classrooms in Year 4. Children came dressed as vicious Vikings, where they embarked on a variety of Viking themed activities. In Maths, they used their coordinate skills to identify where dragons were on a map of Europe, in Guided Reading they wrote their names in runes and then in Literacy they became Viking kings and queens who created their own Viking laws and punishments. In the afternoon, children created their own Viking shields before creating their own longboats ready for their first voyage!
