2 more to go before you've got them all Annie - excellent!

Our Y6 'BISI' badminton team.  They learnt all the badminton skills and were ranked first!  Please see the Sports Blog for more details.

Katelyn, Alice, Maddie, James and Alex.

Our 'GoalBall' team - a type of ball game for those with impaired vision.  None of the children have impaired vision but we take part so we can experience what it would be like if we had.  

We won a silver medal - second to an extremely large Grantham primary school

so in our opinion we actually came first!

They will demonstrate to the school what GoalBall actually is in a couple of weeks and I will invite parents to watch.

Lyric Y2 - excellent maths work and his perseverance is paying off - fabulous!

Freddie and Rupert YR for brilliant topic work on animals.  They could name top predators in our assembly - WOW!

Lucy Y5 - for getting DoJo points in class 3, Wilfy Y2 and Orla Y4 for helping at lunchtime

Our assembly today was based on tomorrow being National Cheese Day and next week there being a National Pie Day.  It was fun and we all had a laugh followed by beautiful hymn singing of 'The Bell of Creation'.

Excellent performances - both in the afternoon and evening.

So proud of all the children and thank you parents for working with us on providing costumes, helping children learn their lines and listening to them perform their songs.  I'm sure you know these songs as well as we do!  Big thanks to Mrs Chadwick and Mrs Kearsley for organising this!

Enjoying performing!

Remembrance Service 2017

We held a very moving service for Remembrance this morning and every child and every person in school observed the two minutes silence.  We watched the beautiful Cbbeebies Poppies film and also heard the last post from the Menin Gate.

Class 3 wrote Remembrance Prayers and Poems with Mr Caton and we chose 4 children to share theirs with us - I could have chosen the whole class they were all beautiful!

Dean reading his poem

Lucy reading her prayer and all of us bowing our heads.

What was so memorable was the children's words about war and suffering but more importantly they wrote about the future and that wars like the 2 major wars must never happen again and that it was their job to ensure this when they were older.

Brought tears to my eyes.
