Last week, Smith's Wood celebrated everything number with this year's first Maths Quiz! Year 4 pupils pitted their mathematical wits against each other in a House battle. They competed in exciting word problems, shape puzzles and some children even took on the daunting individual rounds, with great success! Bat House came out victorious, but all Houses fought hard and performed magnificently!

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.

Last week, the children in Reception were able to develop those crucial early cycle handling and awareness abilities which improve a variety of skills. The children were using a Balance Bike (a bike with no pedals) to focus on their ability to balance, to manage their speed and control their bike. Through this development, some children were ready to progress to pedal cycle training (Learning to Ride) by the end of the course.

Last night Smith's Wood ICT suite was transformed into the Minecraft Mastery Arena. 4 teams battled against both the clock and the elements to complete our first survival house challenge of the year.
Pupils put their teamwork and Minecraft skills to the ultimate test in a tense match-up for the ages, everyone involved gave it their all and displayed fantastic levels of resolve. Despite a slow start, Spider house were able to dig deep showing true determination and perseverance to snatch a narrow but well-deserved victory over the other houses.
Well done to everyone involved and congratulations to our Minecraft Masters, Spider House!
Yesterday, children from years 3, 4, 5 and 6 participated in an athletics competition against other schools from the local area. They took part in numerous events such as javelin, high stepper, speed bounce, chest push, long jump and relay races! After a fantastic showing from our Smith's Wood pupils, we scored a total of 120 points to get gold! The children showed excellent respect and sportsmanship against the other schools, and we were extremely proud of their achievement!
