Valentine's Day

In KS2 a lot of children took part in the small schools swim gala and the children who were left behind had a morning of crafts based on Valentine's Day.

We made biscuits

 

 

We made tissue paper roses

 

 

We listened to music (and had a dance!)

 

 

We made woven baskets

 

 

We made and sewed felt hearts

 

 

We had a good morning - busy and productive!

Craze of the Week

We have introduced 'Craze of the Week' at playtimes to extend the children's play experiences.  This includes Diablos, bouncy sticks, spinning plates and much more!

This week we gave out big playground chalks - they were used in just over a day - WENDY - you must order more!

Different year groups working together!  Nathan and Leon are also out Craze of the Week Leaders - you did a good job with this boys!!

 



 

 

I haven't got a photo of this but the best one was "Keep calm and draw a minion!"

 

 

SCORE Celebration

We have been involved in the SCORE programme this year - trying to save energy consumption throughout the school.  We achieved a small saving - need to work harder!

Our SCORE ambassadors - Leon, Vincent, Serena and Sophie along with ambassadors from other schools.

 

Our ambassadors with the SCORE leader from Lincs CC and the LCC Counsellor promoting the scheme.

Looking at wind generation

 

 

Looks complicated!

 

A good day with lots of different learning opportunities!

 



Children In Need Day

This is one of our big events of the year!  We all came to school in our pyjamas and there were some fabulous onesies!

We laid a copper trail throughout all the corridors and the hall - it stretched much further this year than it ever has before!

Class 2 did a Children in Need street dance to the Gareth Malone song and they performed it in assembly.

We had a lovely assembly discussing what Children In Need is all about - our children

were very knowledgeable about it.

The street dance had been part of class 2's PE sessions this term and here are some photos of them practising.  Note Mrs Richardson, Mrs Chadwick and Miss Rowe!

 

 

We raised £148 for Children in Need!
