Blisworth Community Primary School - Part of your child's memories.
It may be a very wet end to the week, but we can enjoy sharing the brilliant news that Blisworth School competed in the District football finals yesterday and came a brilliant second place out of 16 schools. This means that our team is through to the county finals! We had so many excellent footballers to choose from and the children in year six who represented us made us proud. Huge thanks both to Mr Elliott and to Coach Lewis for the training and exceptional support to the team.
The children have been working hard across the curriculum all week and they certainly all seem grown up and doing well as their new year at school progresses.
Do take care everyone on your journeys home and turn your heating up!

Today at St John the Baptist Chirch in Blisworth, we laid the school wreath for Remembrance Sunday. I was proud to have two of our new pupils from Year Two join me to represent our school. I could choose every one of our pupils for different reasons, but the way that these children have quickly settled in and become part of the school family is a credit to them. Children - we hope you know that to be selected for such an important event it is a credit to you. Thank you also to your family for making sure that you could attend. I was also pleased to see so many of our pupils (and some who used to attend) join their different groups with pride.
I would also like to thank Mrs Dunkley for her exceptional wreath. As you know, our school and Mrs Dunkley work hard to use reclaim materials. The wood base was made from reclaimed wood and the leaves are actually plastic dividers leftover from the office. Mrs Dunkley, your care to mark this important day is very much appreciated. It’s beautiful.
Least we forget.

We have had a great first week back and the children have settled back in quickly to their learning. This week's Friday post is to share with you Year 3's curriculum day - Stone Age day. Huge thanks to grown ups at home for the amazing outfits and to those of you able to join us at the end of the day. Thank you to the Year 3 staff team for creating such a lovely day and creating memories for our children. You won't be surprised to hear that Mr Haddon took a walk around the village in his wonderful outfit over lunchtime and was admired by passers by! Children you really did immerse yourselves in History - well done!
Mr Haddon said:
'We started the day by looking at everyone’s fantastic costumes! After discussing what we were wearing, we started the first activities of Stone Age themed Maths problems and word searches as a warmup. We took a trip to the art room and found out how Stone Age cave paintings were made, starting with the creation of paints. Year 3 used berries, blood (red food colouring) and crushed bones (flour) to create paint to make cave paintings, mostly themed around hunting. After lunch, we went outside for a campfire to toast a marshmallow or two (we couldn’t find any mammoth to roast!). We used the leftover marshmallows and cocktail sticks to re-create Stone Age settlements, using the cocktails sticks as planks and marshmallows as rooftops. At the end of the day, we had a treat of a Stone Age themed animation and looked back over the amazing Cave Paintings we made earlier in the morning. Thank you to all the parents who came to see our creations and discuss our day in school.'
Have a great weekend everyone!

As you know, when children create wonderful writing, they are invited to sit on the throne outside my office and pose for a photo. Well, Mr Robinson, Coach Lewis and Miss Warren spent the last week of term trying to choose some best pieces showing amazing progress and they simply could not. So - all of Year 2 came up to visit and show off their excellent writing inspired by the Clock Tower animation. The children's theme for English at the moment is colour. In the Clock Tower story, the little girl's dress gets stuck in the clock and all the colour leaves the world. Their writing brightened up the world with amazing adjectives. Now, they are beginning Aladdin and making use of their excellent vocabulary to describe vibrant pictures and stories. Exceptional work, Year 2. Well done!

Year 5 had a brilliant school trip. What was lovely was seeing the children as they arrived back at school with each one excitedly sharing a tale from their trip and what they had made. Mrs Aliwell said:
'The children had a really successful day and I was very proud of the levels of curiosity and interest that they showed. We looked at evidence around the history of Northampton from the Stone Age through to modern times. We then spent time in the shoe museum! It was a lovely day packed with learning and enthusiasm towards History.'

It has been lovely to see all our children today - they were straight into learning. I spied Reception hopping around obstacles in PE, lots of History and some great RE sessions. Year 3 were enjoying learning about computer animation and we can't wait to see what they produce. Today was an exciting day. How many children came home and told you about the young hedgehog? The poor thing clearly didn't know its quiet home was back to being filled with excited children. It was having a walk round with all the children who spied it trying to direct it and keep it safe. Mr Haddon and Mrs Price wrapped the little creature up and he spent a quiet hour in my office before being taken back to his leafy world under the trees to find his Mum again. The boys working in the office at lunchtime were rewarded with supporting the great release with Miss Wilcox and Mrs Price. It's great to have our wildlife and animal adventures at Blisworth School!
