Blisworth Community Primary School - Part of your child's memories.
Year 3 and 4 were treated to their first ukulele lesson today delivered by Mrs Harries from NMPAT. The children loved their session and concentrated very hard. The photos are of some of our Year 3 pupils who held their instrument in the rest position as they learned new things in between having their first go. It was a pleasure to watch. Did you know that Mrs Lyman-Clarke loves delivering music (as you may be able to tell from the photo) and does so across a number of our classes. Their skills - and their music books - are excellent. Music is very important to children. Well done children and a huge thanks to Mrs Harries for brilliant first sessions.

Yesterday, Year 4 enjoyed a tasting session of different biscuits to evaluate them - what a treat! Miss Piotrowska said:
"As part of our Design Technology unit, we researched the current biscuit market, focusing on packaging, design and target audiences. Since our topic was biscuits, we also carried out some taste testing, playing close attention to texture, flavour and appearance. We had a delightful afternoon and can now use our findings to design and create our own biscuits!"

We are really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning. I'm often asked what we do on our training days, so I thought you would like to read about what we have been inspired by today.
Our teacher team attended our annual conference with our partnership schools - 'Teaching for Tomorrow.' The team had a hugely inspiring day that has filled them with exciting ideas for lessons that they cannot wait to deliver. The keynote speaker Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock MBE was inspirational, filled with passion to try and encourage an education that inspires more children to become Scientists and Engineers of the future. "Are we made of stardust?" was just one of many philosophical questions that lead to Scientific conclusions. Do read about her and watch her videos - she is amazing and demonstrates passion for our children's future careers and where Science will go next. Alex Bellos, a passionate Mathematician, broadcaster and author shared the wonder of Maths with questions to challenge your thinking - and he shared his research into what is the most common favourite number! In the afternoon, a range of workshops were attended by the teachers - from baking to creating, ideas to inspire children packed the training. Meanwhile, back at school, Mrs Stocker, Mrs Dunkley, Miss Lucas, Mrs Cooke and Miss Wilcox made sure that school is ready for tomorrow - thank you. The rest of the team undertook some specialist training. And you've guessed it, the Rhino team did some sports coach training and Mrs Stocker told me that when she left, she could hear a very loud dodgeball game being played in the hall.
Do wrap up warm tomorrow and safe journeys to those of you who travel to school. Make sure you check your emails for our Friday plan in conjunction with Friends of Blisworth School - wear what makes you happy.
See you tomorrow,
Miss Jenkins

Year 6 have been leading the way in politics today! Thank you to all the grown ups at home for helping them to wear outfits to fit their roles today. Mr Ayres said:
"Today, Year 6 pupils took part in a special Curriculum Day focused on Parliament and Democracy. It was an exciting and interactive experience where the children explored leadership, government and the principles of democracy in a hands-on way.
Throughout the day, pupils formed political parties, named their party and elected a leader who was willing to make a speech and act as spokesperson. They worked collaboratively to create manifestos, design campaign materials and deliver speeches before participating in an election.
To make the day even more immersive, the children came dressed as politicians, looking very smart and ready to lead! We were so impressed by the values they demonstrated throughout the day – courage in speaking publicly, collaboration in working as a team and a strong sense of community as they engaged in respectful debate and decision-making.
A huge thank you to everyone for supporting this fantastic learning opportunity. It was a brilliant day of teamwork, critical thinking, and democratic action!"
