Year 4 spent two nights away in the Staffordshire countryside at Standon Bowers Outdoor Education Centre. The children got to tackle lots of team challenges and adventurous activities including archery, bridge building, caving, climbing and a blindfold trail. It was a great visit and the rain we were promised stayed away (thankfully). Thanks to the brave staff team for giving their weekend up to take the children away.
This week our children in Reception and Key Stage 1 enjoyed meeting local author Alina Crisan. Alina, who is originally from Transylvania, has written a fun book about the colourful character Professor Broccoli. The story features lots of alliteration and our pupils got to hear Alina read the book aloud.
We have been looking at giving our children in Key Stage 1 more space to play on. Mr Gooch has removed the tunnel on the playground as it has become dangerous. He got the ground level and planted grass seed but there was a problem - the birds keep eating the seed. Year 1 came to the rescue and made some super scarecrows that are now frightening the birds away. Well done! We look forward to using this area in a few weeks.
After a lot of hard work from Mr Gooch, the boys' toilets near to Y3 and Y5 are ready to use. They have been completely refurbished and look (and smell!) fantastic. The year 3 and 5 School Council reps were invited to see them first and they were very impressed. Thank you to Mr Gooch. Girls' toilets are almost ready too.
Pupils in Rabbits and Badgers are developing their football skills with coaching from FA Skills. Coach Liam will be with the children for the next few weeks, teaching them important basic tactics as well as ball control. Thanks to Miss Sumner for arranging the visits. Otters will be having coaching later in the term.
