We are very pleased to say that our archery team had a great competition and out of nine schools, finished in 4th place! What is especially pleasing is that this is a relatively new sport for us and they represented us really well. Huge thanks to Mr Elliott for taking and encouraging them and to Coach Harry from Rhino Sports Academy for supporting and coaching at the event (he said he loved going,too!). We don’t think there is a follow on tournament but I am really looking forward to adding archery onto our score boards for a high finish! Enjoy the photos - lots of fun had by all! ...

It has been a super week. The children have loved their learning and play outside. Year Five have enjoyed Bike-ability and so have our younger children in their ongoing, weekly balance bike training with Miss Smith. We have won the District's Hockey and came 7th in the County for girl's netball as well as coming first in the local netball tournament earlier in the week.

Today's photos show just a few of the many practical learning activities just from this afternoon (there have been many more this week). I think we have officially the most flexible children - look at the stretches, holds and the splits during the Year One dance session with Coach Sami and CRhino Sports Academy Sports Academy. Great dancing, lots of fun and great holds when the music stopped! Year Five have created some wonderful pieces from their designs and have become experts at a range of stitches. Mrs Aliwell wowed us all with her own cross stitch creations. Year Two's DT using split pins showed excellent planning and team work to create movement with their designs. Year One loved their clay - Miss Wilcox was an excellent lead and Coach Harry could be spotted amongst the clay and dust!

Outside of the photos, other things I have spotted this afternoon have been the parachute with the younger children - thank you Coach Harry! Some much enjoyed forest schools learning and some tag rugby with the older children. Year Four enjoyed their Science. I will try to capture some of these moments next week and also share Year Three's excellent chopping and dicing session in the kitchen!

It looks like you may have better weather to enjoy together!

See you all next week,

Well done to our girl's netball team who today competed in the County finals - they gained 7th place in the county!! We are so proud of them. They won games and in others came so close - one game they won 13-0. We were also very impressed with their resilience - look at the bumps and grazes and even this didn't stop them playing!

Huge thank you to Mrs Stewart for the excellent coaching for all the girls and taking the netball team all this way in the tournaments. Mr Elliott- as always - thank you for taking and encouraging the girls (and for the first aid as a result of their sheer determination when playing!).

Girls we are so proud of you - next tournament here we come! (... and we are sure your team hair style will make an appearance again!) ... See MoreSee Less

What a great District competition despite the cold weather! Our children have made us really proud - lots of special moments, both for individuals and the teams. One of our Year 3/4 teams came first in the District competition and they all played so well in both teams. What really impressed me was the happy, team approach and how the cold did not deter them from the games. Our winning team won all of their matches and though there is not a county follow up for them, there will be lots more in the future.

Thank you to Mr Elliott for ensuring that all the children got encouragement and opportunities to take leading roles and to Coach Andy from Rhino Sports Academy for teaching both the lessons and Coaching today. Families - thank you for braving the cold with me! It's always lovely to see you and thanks also with your flexibility of times.

It's been a chilly but great afternoon. Well done, children! I'm always so proud of you all.

Now... do enjoy the photos and out-takes - it shows what great classmates and friends they are!

What a brilliant trip our children have had today to Holdenby House. Thank you very much to grown ups at home for some great outfits, to Miss Piotrowska for planning the trip and to Coach Jade and Andy Burgess for also joining and help to make the day magical. Miss Piotrowska said:

"We started off the day with learning about rationing and helping out in the kitchen. We grated, cut, made pastry and made decorations for small cakes (for special occasions only). We also made sure that our vegetables were cut into little pieces so that they cooked faster and we didn’t have any waste!
We then learnt about clothes rationing; we used needles for sewing buttons, used wool for pom poms, wrote post cards to the soldiers and were lucky enough to play with some toys from that era.
We ended the day by going down to the cellar and listened to a real life recording of a broadcast about the bomb alarm and bombing sounds. We were very brave!"

Do enjoy the photos - we certainly have enjoyed seeing them! ... See MoreSee Less
