What a great first, full week. In some ways, it is hard to believe the children have only been back learning eight days as they have done so much! Their specialist PE has started and they have learned about values, planned class expectations and started studying all their subjects. A highlight of mine has been watching some of our youngest pupils shooting baskets into the hoop on the playground - it was very impressive!

We have welcomed lots of new children to school - Reception and children into other year groups. All have settled well and we are pleased that they have joined us. What pictures could be more perfect for the first full week's Friday post than those of our new Reception class. It feels like they have been at school a long time and they have settled in really well! Already, I can see how much effort and enthusiasm they bring to everything that they do. Mrs Price - Reception's teacher said:

'Well, what a wonderful start we have had in Reception! Considering that it has been their very first week in school, the children have settled into routines brilliantly and we are very proud of them. The classroom cafe has been buzzing with customers, playdough has been moulded into self-portraits, recipes have been invented in the mud kitchen and dens have been constructed in our big build area. The children have enjoyed listening to stories, completing maths challenges and thinking about what job they would like when they are older: doctors, teachers, farmers, scientists, bus drivers - we've had them all!
Thank you to all the parents for your support, its been a pleasure to welcome your little ones into our Blisworth family.'

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Tonight’s post is something a little different and I thought you would like to hear about how our school has featured in international training. Many of you who follow this page were part of the development of our school values several years ago, so I thought you would like to hear that the origins of our values and all that the school has become were part of a series of lecturers received by teachers from China.

The teachers came to undertake a course ‘Experiencing Education: teaching, Mentoring and Coaching in the AI era run by KnewSTEP Education and supported by a group of Cambridge Academics. It was held in the stunning Hughes Hall, Cambridge.

The session looked at how all of you in our community joined together to establish the values for our school, how they now underpin the curriculum and how our values lead to the type of education our children receive. The teachers loved to hear about the children’s experiences - the sleep over (often courage), Dare to be Different days and all the curriculum days to name but a few. They were also very interested in our collaborative approach to our children’s childhood with families to help our children grow up into good people and the best that they can be.

Personally, I learned a great deal about Chinese education systems and it was a privledge to hear all their information about their curriculums - the teachers were so dedicated to their roles, it was inspiring. They also gave me some very unexpected and thoughtful gifts at the end of the session. The wonderful team there including Dr Winnie Sin Wai Pui (course founder), Loki, Joanne, Dr James Underwood and the PHD students all made me so welcome and we look forward to many more sessions together.

As I delivered the session, I felt great pride about our community school and that small places like our school can make a big difference. If you would be interested in hearing some of the key parts of this lecture, do let me know and I can run a session for our community to hear about the school and curriculum design (perhaps in a different way!)

It was such an exciting summer moment!

It has been lovely having our pupil back and whilst it has only been two days, they have put so much effort into everything that they have done at school. Lots of smiles and lots of fun.

Today we are taking a moment to celebrate the win of our Year 3 and 4 Olympics team in the Rhino Summer Olympics (held right at the end of last term). The team won against 24 other teams – this is such a huge achievement and couldn’t go unnoticed! Coach Lewis said that he felt very proud of all the children who took part because every member of the team represented the school exceptionally well and showed amazing teamwork. Therefore, they very much deserved this win against so many schools.

It much seem strange to be welcoming the weekend with your children after only two school days. Hopefully, the weather will be as good as suggested in the forecasts!

It has been good to see you all.

It has been a great day seeing all our children and welcoming new pupils to our school, too. The children have enjoyed catching up with friends, setting their class charter and looking round school to spot new additions of story areas and in displays. We thought you would enjoy seeing some of their happy faces.

Hopefully they will sleep well tonight! ... See MoreSee Less

We can’t wait to see you all tomorrow! Here is a slight sneak preview of some of the new story areas and displays our children will see tomorrow.

The day will start with catching up with their teacher and friends followed by my assembly to look at some of my exciting shopping for their story areas. Next a double playtime (shh!) and a tour around school for each class to look in all the classrooms. The children will also set their class charter for the year in line with our school values.

Sleep well children, we can’t wait to see you all!

What a great last day at school marking the end of another busy year for our children. Huge thank you to our school family - Rhino Sports Academy - for the gift of an inflatables day to our children. They had a great time. Thank you to all the coaches for the setting up and running of the event.

It's been a brilliant year of memories made. Last week, Mrs Murphy treated the children to two days of artistic creativity - from tie-dye to a whole school dance performed on the field. Children gave 100% to every session. Drive to design, a visit from Santa on a pony, curriculum days dressed up and trips - lots of fun had and many memories shared here on Facebook. The children also won a lot of sporting events and participation levels at competitions was high - huge thanks to Rhino Sports Academy for making such a difference to our children and with their learning in classrooms. Brilliant events were held by Friends of Blisworth School - the big sleepover, discos and event days. Thank you so much to our wonderful team of parents (and often ex-pupils) who make this happen. Thank you to Miss Bates - M.A.B Gymnastics - for your exceptional gymnastics coaching (many if our children demonstrate exceptional skills with your teaching - thank you). Thank you to our wonderful kitchen team for cooking for our children all year and knowing their favourite foods. To our Governing Board - thank you for your endless support for the children of our school. To our staff team - we wish you a wonderful rest after supporting our children to be the best that they can be and creating memories along the way. And finally, to our children - you make us smile every day and your endless commitment, enthusiasm and determination to thrive in all areas are a pleasure to see.

To all of you at home - I do hope that you have some time as families to create some magical memories. We always miss you all over the summer and look forward to seeing you again after the summer.

Have a great summer everyone!!
