Bikeability

Year 5 (and some Y6) children took part in the annual Bikeability programme last week.  Bikeability is the old cycling proficiency test.  They took two full days on the programme and all achieved level one with some achieving level two - Oliver, Daniel, Sam, Isaac.  They had to demonstrate their cycling safety on the road - a bit of a challenge on our village road with all the tractors and HGVs!

 
All the Bikeability group - level 1 and level 2
 
 
The level 2 Bikeability group - well done boys!
 

More creative writing from Class 3

Class 3 are working on Jacqueline Wilson's book 'Double Trouble' and they have had to write a diary entry.

Dear diary, Today Ruby embarrassed me in front of the whole school said she was the DOMINANT twin!  Luckily I won the gold award this week but Ruby shouted out 'Baby', I was so upset (of course Ruby didn't care though).  Ruby is the most horrible oerson on earth.  If she wasn't my sister I would not like her.  At playtime I was playing hopscotch, Ruby chucked a rock and it barely missed my head.  Little did I know it was the end of the day, I sighed in relief.

Dear mum, Today Ruby was showing off again and she went red when we did drama and she got all her lines wrong.  But again she teased me over and over again.  I got my revenge by taking her lunch box!!  All morning she was looking for it and I threw it in the bin!  That will teach her and those tricks.  Thanks for the day, bye.

PS I love you mum.

Both boys worked really hard on these pieces of work - well done Tommy and James for trying your best and rising the Mrs Chadwick's challenge!

School sports kit

FOMS raised enough money last year for a new school sports kit.  This photograph shows the children wearing it on their recent cross country event.  See Class 3 blog for more information about the event.

 
Don't we look good as a team!

Year 6 writing

I just wanted to share with you some of the fabulous writing we are getting from the children in year 6.  Our focus is on using WOW words as well as ideas that stimulate the imagination (amongst many others!).  We will be holding a writing workshop for parents and children next term so watch this space!

Maddy Faulkner:
As the slow combine harvester devoured the vibrant, evil eyed sunflowers, the one in front tiptoed as fast as the hour hand of a clock knowing they wouldn'tlive on a yellow planet again!
Fortunately, the combine harvester broke down - unfortunately there was only one lonely sunflower left alone.  As the little sunflower knew he would live and die alone, the combine harvester laughed and cackled in the day light.

Amelia Peters:
Clothing the unpretentious, verdant field; vibrant yellow sunflowers started popping out of the ground.  Going as far as the eye could see, they stared at the sizzling summer sun.  Their perfect petals like a mane, their vein stained leaves like miniature hands.  Suddenly, they stopped growing...

Back to school

Everyone has returned safe and sound and because of the beautiful weather we have been able to play outside on the school field.  We used some of our Sainsburys vouchers (donated by parents) to buy 4 in a row.  The children are enjoying using the tokens as bracelets!

Our trim track continues to be popular!  More photos to follow!
