  • Year 1’s Journey to Space!

    Published 27/02/24

    Year 1 enjoyed a magical space themed day filled with fun activities to bring our fantastic ‘Man on the Moon’ topic to an end. In Maths, the children used shapes and nets to create rockets. We listened to a real-life Astronaut who told us a story from her rocket in space - it was amazing! Then, we wrote instructions to make a rocket in Phonics. In the afternoon, we practically made our rocket from lots of different materials, designed a space suit and completed an obstacle course for the final stage of Space Camp. All Year 1 children impressed staff with their enthusiasm and attitude towards activities, we really did have “The BEST day ever!”

    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.

  • It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Super House!

    Published 02/02/24

    Oh what  a night! The highly popular, deal or no deal, completed its inaugural run in sensational fashion. Super House took centre stage, epitomising the nerves of the man of steel himself. Despite a potentially catastrophic start, Super house rallied together, overcoming the greatest hurdle of all, the super-villainous banker! Demonstrating both teamwork and wisdom, guiding our very own Lucas from Year 5 to a never-before seen grand total of 1000 house points, securing Lucas and all of Super house in the anointed halls of Smith's Wood fame. A suburb end to the current round of competition and a miraculous win for Super house. Well done to everyone who competed. For more pictures, please see our gallery
