What a brilliant night at our annual big sleep over and Year 6 have completed their SATs. Huge thanks to Friends of Blisworth School , to all the parent volunteers and to our staff and Rhino team for helping to create some magical memories for our children. The evening was scheduled for the end of SATs week and a great opportunity to celebrate how very well Year 6 have worked this week with all their friends in Key Stage 2. During the day, the Year 6 children also enjoyed a range of activities to celebrate their hard work and spend time with friends - we are very proud of them.

At the sleep over, in the evening all the children enjoyed a range of activities including Rhino Sports Academy's inflatable dartboard and football pitch - a surprise for the children. Thank you so much to Coach Lewis and the team for bringing such fun. The children enjoyed a picnic with plenty of food - thank you. Miss Wilcox and the team set up a wonderful campfire and the children toasted marshmallows and sang songs round the campfire. The night was finished off with a film before everyone piled into the hall, found their beds and settled to sleep in the biggest sleep over anyone could imagine! The children enjoyed a breakfast before packing off and heading home.

The event is such a wonderful experience - and for some, their first night away from home. What better way to do this than with your school family. I really want to extend thanks to all the adults who made the event such a success - and gave up their sleep! To Friends of Blisworth School, parents and our staff and Rhino Sports Academy team. And to you at home, thank you for sending your children. We love that our children like school so much that they come back and sleep over. And for me, it really was a night in the office!

Have a great weekend everyone,

Reception were treated to a brilliant afternoon meeting the Northamptonshire Bee Keeping association. Patricia and Roy brough in an example hive and the children were transfixed. Mrs Price said:

'We had a lovely afternoon meeting the beekeepers. They talked to us and showed us some amazing close up images of honey bees in the hive. Did you know that worker bees are all females? The children listened brilliantly and had lots of questions for them such as 'can bees see in the dark?' and 'do all bees sting?'
The children got to feel some wax from the hive, observe the bees at work and even had a try of some honey that Patricia sells in local farm shops. They all thought it was sweet and delicious!' ... See MoreSee Less

What a lovely way to end the week. Following our work on studying engineering, a small group of children were invited by the University of Northampton to represent our school in the Primary Engineer Vehicle programme. The children made us proud. Thank you to Mr Haddon for leading this area and to Eleanor, an engineer herself, for allowing our children to thrive in this exciting area. Mr Haddon said:

'I am so truly proud of all of Year 3 for taking part in this project. We have shown collaboration, curiosity and perseverence. We had such a good time today! One of our teams won the prize for 'Best Themed' and our other team was the only team to achieve a perfect score in an event... TWICE! Well done all and thank you for all the support'

Next everyone comes our annual 'Drive to Design day' on the 10th June. We hope to see many of you there after school to enjoy some of the very exciting cars due to be displayed for the children.

Have a great weekend, everyone,

Year 4 made us proud today - excellent learning behaviour and genuine curiosity on their school trip today. Well done.

Miss Piotrowska said:
'We've had the best day on our Year 4 trip to Everdon Outdoor Learning Centre! We spent the day outdoors learning all about rivers and how monitoring them can help when flooding is expected. We completed several activities, including measuring the flow and depth of the river, sketching the meander and pond dipping. During the pond dipping, we observed a variety of invertebrates living in the river. We will use all of the data we collected to plot graphs later in the term.'

Thank you so much to Miss Piotrowska, Mr Thompson and Mr Elliott for such a great trip and to grown ups at home for your support. There were some funny stories recounted when back including two stuck wellies in the mud! ... See MoreSee Less

As you know, I often say to you that I have moments I wish you could all see. On the way to take yesterday's photos, these children rushed up and said 'Come and see! Come and see our mud mixing!' It was a heartwarming, muddy moment that captured exactly what childhood should include - mud, imagination and teamwork. They also managed to look clean when they got back into class in the afternoon after their lunchtime play! And, we did giggle because for a moment they almost linked arms, narrowly missing muddy handprints on everyone's back for their photo! Their creativity, discussions and enthusiasm was a pleasure to see. ... See MoreSee Less
