A marvellous, mathematical time was had by all across the school today as we exhibited our 'Crazy Rockstar' hairstyles all in aid of an amazing cause; the NSPCC. The children looked FABULOUS and had obviously put a lot of effort into creating their styles. They also took part in many maths related games and activities as well as a national times table competition on Times Table Rockstars.
Our newly appointed maths ambassadors treated us to an assembly with some fun competitions.
Thank you everyone for your support - we raised £140 for the NSPCC.
Fire Fighter visit to Foundation Stage
Date: 5th Feb 2025 @ 4:42pm
Linked to our discussions about 'People who help us', we had a visit from our local fire fighters. It was fun to see the huge fire engine and some of us even got the chance to squirt the hose pipe, before an emergency call came over on the radio. Unfortunately, they had to leave quickly to attend a real emergancy but it was exciting to watch them drive away with their sirens sounding! It inspired us to dress up as firefighters with our friends and we even made a fire engine using the large crates, to support our play.

Today, year 3 conducted an experiment to find out which magnet was the strongest. This was great fun and we were amazed that one of the magnets could hold a chain of 81 paper clips.
We went on to explore magnetic and non magnetic materials and recorded our findings in a practical venn diagram.
We even made a piece of string stand up in the air (like magic) using a magnetic force!
Police visit to Foundation stage

This week, we had an exciting visit from our local community police linked to our book of the week, 'Emergency'. They told us about their different roles, showed us their special equipment and let us try on some clothing. We then had a look at their police car and even sat inside with the sirens on...it was very loud! Their visit inspired us to set up our own role-play police station and we had such fun taking on the different roles with our friends.

We had a lovely day on celebrating our achievement of PATHS Model School Status. Mrs. Reid and the Year 5 B's Buddies led an assembly in which school were presented with our special plaque by the Mayor, Councillor Jeanette Banks, and Lisa from the PATHS Team.
Our Early Years and KS1 children loved having a dance with our other special guest, Twiggle the Turtle, and played some party games which included the other characters from their PATHS lessons. Our KS2 classes enjoyed watching the film 'Inside Out' which is all about different feelings and emotions. Each class also took part in their weekly PATHS lessons too.
Mrs. Reid and the team have worked incredibly hard to embed PATHS into our everyday school life and as one of only a handful of schools in the authority with Model School Status we are INCREDIBLY proud!
