World Book Day

As part of our drive to promote and engage pupil interest in reading, the school will be participating in World Book Day on Thursday 5th March with the theme being Bedtime Stories.

On this special day, children are invited to come into school in their pyjamas and bring in their favourite bedtime story. This year’s World Book Day message is to share a million stories so with this in mind, the children will all be allocated reading buddies from different classes, and will share their much-loved story with each other.

Teachers will also swap classes and read to children from a different year group so that they can experience different storytelling techniques.

Slick The Musical

On the last week of term, pupils performed in the school production of Slick the Musical. Since the start of the academic year, pupils have been working on the production after school and the Performing Arts team are incredibly proud of the dedication and commitment they have shown to produce a fantastic show. A range of pupils from year 7 to 13 performed – with year 7 students playing lead roles. Both nights were a sell-out and we cannot thank you enough for your support. We are incredibly proud of the performers and are already excited for our next musical production!

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt

Since returning back to school after the holidays, Nursery pupils have started reading ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’.

Last week the children took a trip to the woodland area in school in the hope to sight a bear. The children found lots of leaves and sticks unfortunately, no sign of a bear this time. The children then took their sticks to the classroom where they are now exploring a range of materials including wood, fabric, wool, plastic and paper.

Children are beginning to describe the texture of the materials they have found using fabulous adjectives. Some adjectives used are bumpy, soft, hard, crunchy, smooth and fuzzy. Next week we will be using a range of materials to create the face of a bear.

We encourage parents to continue to discuss materials at home.

In Maths the children are also working hard to recognise colours, numbers and a variety of shapes. The children are working hard to recognise their name and are starting to form recognisable letters by writing their name too! Keep up the good work Nursery we are all proud of your achievements.
