‘So this weekend has been very special and gave us all a big surprise, Jackson’s baby brother was born and 6 weeks early.
Mam and baby still in hospital but both doing well and hoping to have them home soon.’
‘Ellie has just done her first cheer competition today with Poppletons school of Dance. She got to the semi final with the partners dance and the group dance came first. Despite being nervous Ellie bossed it and loved every minute of it !!! The Nichols are super super duper proud of her. Woohooo!’
Our Anna and Lucy have had a big weekend, this weekend! ‘They both danced really hard and Anna got 4th place in the 8s and under age group, Lucy placed 7th in the 9s and under age group. It was the first solo trophy for both of them. On top of that they both placed 1st with their Squad routine. We are so proud of them!’
Today, Y5 have had a brilliant day looking at everybody’s work and participating in ‘protected characteristics prayer space day’. They were very mature, reflective and held brilliant discussions with one another. Well done Y5!
Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed our prayer space this morning reflecting on
Protected Characteristics. Year 1 had a super attitude and behaviour
during our reflection time. Great job 
Here she is, raring to go after day two – our lovely Forest School Leader lady, Mrs O’Doherty! Today, she mastered knots, made a shelter, created a fire and was trusted with a bush craft knife… Can we get a whoop whoop for our Mrs O’Doherty?! Tomorrow, she is taking raw ingredients and wild campfire cooking! Can you believe how even more exciting are our Forest School sessions are going to be now?
Our Zachary and Bodhi were given a very special gift this Christmas after a particularly tricky start to the break, with a pretty poorly Bodhi – a holiday to Disneyland! They had a wonderful time with mam and sister, Lola, making magical memories!
Reception are enjoying their new topic and role plays this week! We have some old toys and items from ‘long ago’ which we have been discovering what they were used for. We have also got a new music and rhyme area, with a stage and lots of instruments 
. We have loved making our own music and songs in here! We have also enjoyed dressing up in some new costumes

Our lovely Mrs O’Doherty has had an AMAZING day today on day one of her Forest Leader course! Mrs O’Doherty has learned so much, has lots of new ideas (has had a quiet cuppa) and is eager to spend the day doing everything fire and bush craft… Mrs O’Doherty will be bringing her new skills back to support all of our gorgeous children, we cannot wait!
This afternoon year 1 have been learning all about algorithms, this
tricky word means a set of instructions. We thought about how we
follow instructions everyday, we then wrote some algorithms for
travelling to school, getting dressed for school and making a jam
sandwich. We then listened to and followed an algorithm that Miss
Booth gave us to create a crazy character. We noticed how everyone’s characters were different and we now know we must give clear, precise and detailed instructions to get things right! Great job year 1 🤩🏫⏱🥪
