Residential

Last week, our Year 6 pupils went to Ingleborough Hall for their residential.  As soon as they arrived, they were straight into the action – collecting kit for activities, making their beds and going out for either gorge scrambling, caving or orienteering.  It was a fun-filled three days and each and every one of our children did us proud.  They challenged themselves throughout the three days and built essential skills and have all shown the ways of being.  Thank you to the staff who accompanied our children for the three days, expertly looked after them, encouraged them and made sure they were able to make memories they will never forget.

Class Charts

We have launched our Class Charts reward system this week, our children have loved earning points towards some fantastic prizes such as skip the queue pass, extra playtime and even afternoon tea with Mrs Wierzbianski and Ms Pascoe.  They will continue to earn points and each week during Celebration assemblies, the child with the highest number of points will get a dip in our prize box. 

Skills Builder – Aim High

Our new Skills Builder skill for this half term is ‘Aiming High’.  We have Class Charts points specifically for Skills Builder which our children can earn and each half term, our teachers will be choosing one person from their class who has embodied the skill the most who will receive a certificate for their efforts.  

We will give extended time this week for the Skills Builder challenge to encourage as many of you as possible to complete the task and win Class Charts points for it.  Once your child has completed it, send their work in or send a photo of it via our Facebook Messenger page.  We can’t wait to see what your dream job will be.

Remembrance Assembly

Our Remembrance Assembly will take place this Friday the 11th November at 9am.  You are warmly invited to join us as our children will be sharing work they have been doing and we will have a minute’s silence within our assembly.   

And finally…

Thank you to everyone who has managed to be in school every day and on time.  Our doors open at 8:40am to allow for multiple drop offs, ensuring all children are ready for learning at 8:45am.  A Class Charts point is given to every child who is in school all week and on time as being in school is incredibly important for your child’s education.
