I send Well Done postcards quite often (I have a weekly reminder on my diary but I may not be that frequent!) and unlike Star of The Week nominations and Awards, they are quiet surprises that just turn up on the doorstep. Yesterday, I was really quite taken by the attitude to work shown by two children. Not only did [...]
What we learnt on the way to the village hall: Walk, scooter or cycle on the left but not in the middle or on the right. That you shouldn't walk on the zig and zags because it puts you in the middle of the road. People park their cars badly and it forces people like us to walk round them, [...]
Welcome back everyone! In assembly this morning I introduced the first of our half-termly Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) topics, entitled New Beginnings. We have several new children at school, but even those who've been here for a long time have the new experiences of a new classroom, a new teacher, a new seat, a new table partner, [...]
Went in to school today and for the third time this summer I tried to clear the pile of paperwork that certainly went back just before January. And I'm normally so organised! Mrs Mortimer was in. Obviously an early start for her as she'd done a lot of work in the room and had just tidied the veg patch, probably [...]
After having a water fight with 19 very enthusiastic year 6s Mr Thomas initially claimed he had been wetter last year... 1v19 - He survived but got a little damp However we think photographic evidence supports his later admission that there wasn't a single square millimetre of him that wasn't completely soaked! Well done year 6 - a very [...]
Well done Beau Dooley! “He has worked so hard at his maths and now loves grid method! He was very kind and supportive to Molly S. in maths this week and he always tries his best in lessons.” “He is really kind, he is remarkable at art and a kind friend.” “He is awesome at maths and thought of some great [...]
We've started a Code Club! You'll find lots of software out there that gives children the ability to play about with coding and programming - one of the better ones (apart from Kodu... which is possibly slightly more complicated) is Scratch. Through Code Club (.org.uk) we found Chris who offered his services to help run a club at school using [...]
Year 6 are learning lots about things that are important and could save lives! Learning about how to stay safe on our beaches... Got to say that this was a speciality for our kids! This was the Dogs Trust's part where we discussed how to make sure we were safe. Of course, after all out work on dog poo we [...]
It's another Sean's Day! Thanks very much for bringing in any donations for Challenge Ministry Swaziland. Some of you have brought in some cash (we'll let you know how much as soon as we've counted it up) and some of you have brought in specific items for the box in our hallway. Mrs Mortimer has recently requested that we consider [...]
Year 5 have tried hard to write a single paragraph for their information leaflet about dog poo. Dog poo is a huge problem. It's a problem because dog owners, in general, allow their dogs to poo in our community and they don't pick it up or dispose of it properly. It ends up being everywhere! Not disposing it in an [...]
