• CROSS COUNTRY UPDATE

  Sun 28 Apr 2019 Mrs Michelle Bates

  I now have the school results from Mr Leyshon and I am pleased to say that they were AMAZING...

   

  Out of 12 schools that took part, we came SECOND overall for the boys team and FIFTH for the girls. We are very proud of all the competitors. William, in year 5, deserves a special mention as he was SECOND in the boys race overall and was awarded with his silver medal. 

   

  Mr Leyshon commented on how fantastic all the runners were and how they supported each other on the day!

   

  We are exceptionally proud of how the children across school are doing in local competitions and how as a school we are now regularly on the 'score board' as we are 'nurturing, developing and growing' our talents through our 'active bodies and active minds'.

   

  A HUGE well done to Mr Leyshon in his positive attitude to sport, the increased level of practise and preparation for events and the overall increased participation in events within the local community.

   

  Another positive post for the school, sports leader and all the competitors.

   

  A very proud Head Teacher

  Week Ending 26^th March 2019

   

  Following a lovely, sunny bank holiday weekend and a restful Easter for many, the children came back fresh and ready and raring to go. They were enthused about their new topics and learning, and demonstrated drive to work hard and make progress. This week has been about settling back into the summer term, and the children certainly did that and they made us very proud.  

   

  This week we had lots of sport taking place. Mr Leyshon took many children to the Cross Country event and I look forward to all of the results to share with you soon as we do not yet know all of the results. I will communicate these with you when I have the news.

   

  On Thursday evening, Glenn also returned to take part in the cup final. His report is as follows:

   

  “I've only just dried out from the game. 

  We got beat today 3-0, but the team played very well and the score didn't tell the story of the game.

  We had 14 shots at goal hitting the woodwork 6 times and we missed a penalty.

  They had 4 shots and scored 3 times. Just a little more clinical than us.

  Anyway, all the players were gutted about the result, and with me leaving, but it was a great end to the season even still.”

   

   

  One of the parents watching also commented:

   

  What a cracking bunch of lads, we didn't win but they played their socks off and was great to watch.

  We are very proud of the boys and it was lovely to see Glenn back to take them through their last match under his leadership! Thank you, Glenn.

   

  Next week, I will send out the latest newsletter and on there you will find updates on class swaps for the next academic year, consultation reviews regarding the Rainbow values and vision for the school and the results of the parents’ evening consultation carried out by one of our governors, Mr Manton. Make sure you catch the latest information and remember to always get in touch if you have any further unanswered questions or queries.

   

  Have a great weekend everyone and I look forward already to another super week next week
  
   

  Warm regards,

  Michelle Bates

  A lovely final week of the Spring term. Lots happening and lots to share.

   

  This week, I found out from our music teacher (Mrs Deborah Fox) that some of her music pupils have taken their ABRSM music exams this half term. She was delighted with their fantastic results and the below list demonstrates that:

  Zara B and Amelia W have passed descant prep test.

  Lucy B passed grade 2 recorder.

  Beth P passed grade 2 with distinction.

  Katherine C passed grade 2 music theory with a very good merit (just 2 points off a distinction).

   

  Great news, girls and a huge well done.

   

  On Thursday, it was lovely to welcome Year 2 parents through the doors to watch their children in a collection of readings and songs around the Easter story. The show was fantastic and they shared the true meaning of Easter. They sung beautifully and spoke confidently and clearly. The children then took their parents off to class to design a healthy Easter-themed sandwich. There were some brilliant designs!

   

  Later today, the year 2 children repeated their Easter performances to the whole school and the Reception children joined them during the Easter bonnet song…wearing their very own Easter bonnets made at home. The winners of the Easter bonnet competition were:

   

  Hector – Red 1

  Riley – Red 2

  Jack – Red 2

   

  Year 5 children went on their trip today to the Space Centre. They had a wonderful time and the staff mentioned their excellent behaviour and curious minds. The day was a success…and they came back very tired.

   

  It’s been a great week this week seeing you all at parents evening. We hope that you found the reports useful and informative and that the conversations with teachers filled any gaps and gave you the information that you need about your child’s attainment, progress and general life in school.

   

  Thank you to everyone who bought a book at book fair. We will share the commission raised after half term. The book fair raffle was won by Ruby in year 5.

   

  Have a great Easter everyone and we look forward to seeing you again at the beginning of the summer term. A reminder that we return to school on Tuesday the 23^rd April 2019 (after the bank holiday).  

  Warm regards,
