Good afternoon, everyone!

As we head into the weekend, we just wanted to say a huge thank you to our wonderful school community for all your support during this week's hot weather.

We really appreciate everyone helping to ensure the children stayed safe, cool and happy by sending in water bottles, hats and sun cream, and for your understanding and cooperation throughout the week.

We are so grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive community. Thank you for everything you do – it really does make a difference.

Today we're looking back to last half term and our wonderful Year 1 Victorian Curriculum Day!

The children had a fantastic day taking part in a range of activities to discover how school and everyday life were different for children over 100 years ago.

The day began with a writing lesson using chalk and ink to create letters. The children quickly decided that writing with pencils is much easier than it was in Victorian times! They also enjoyed playing traditional Victorian games, including marbles and tiddlywinks, learning how children spent their leisure time.

One of the highlights of the day was making their own mini Victoria sponge cakes while discovering the history behind this classic treat – and, of course, enjoying eating them afterwards!

The pupils also had the special opportunity to explore the historic Blisworth School logbooks, reading entries written by previous headteachers and gaining a fascinating insight into school life from years gone by.

A wonderful day of hands-on history, curiosity and learning!

Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Law ... See MoreSee Less

A huge congratulations to Year 3 who have been working hard in their Primary Engineer learning! ** Read on to find out about Hope achieving highly commended at regional level and Quinn winning the Year 3 category! **

Mr Haddon said: ‘This year, we took on a new challenge by taking part in Primary Engineer’s programme titled ‘If you were an engineer, what would you do?’. Starting in November, we have had meetings with real engineers in school, learning more about the exciting industry! From November until the end of March we had to answer the question of ‘What would I do?’. We each worked for months taking ideas and designing our own engineering project. Every member of the class submitted their hours of work in a portfolio to a set of real engineers. Each one of our projects was assessed by a team of judges who all work in the industry. As this is a nationwide competition, with over 3000 entires just in our region, we had to make sure our portfolios were outstanding, from the designs, the research and the formal letter written to the judges. Each member of Year 3 had a great time doing this and we recently found out some excellent news… many children had been shortlisted, with 2 being chosen to have their projects displayed at Milton Keynes Technical College this evening!

Hope, who designed a parasite remover, received a shortlist place that was Highly Commended for such a unique idea!
Quinn received a Winning place for her design that would save animal’s lives when walking near busy roads!

This evening, both girls were presented with a beautiful certificate and a badge, being chosen as two of the highest awarded pupils for Year 3 in the region! Both girls were incredibly happy to see their work on the wall for the public to see.

A huge well done to Alicia and Evie also, who had their work displayed at the event!

Finally, a massive well done the the whole of Year 3, for months of hard work, dedication and showing a true passion for engineering! Well done everyone, we are extremely proud of you!’

As headteacher, I would like to extend thanks to both girls and their families for attending the event and to Mr Haddon whose passion and dedication to supporting the next generation to consider engineering is exceptional.

It was a very proud moment to watch two of our pupils gain awards tonight and to see Alicia and Evie’s work in display. ... See MoreSee Less

What a lovely day today showcasing some great skills from our children. At school, we love the opportunity to allow children to show their different talents. This morning, the annual Spelling Bee took place. Wow - what amazing spellers - words that many adults would find hard. Well done to Evie for gaining first place and Otto for second. Thank you to the team for all the organising and to Mrs Stocker for finding the awards.

Next, Year Six have made us proud running their own business in our annual 'Grow £5' where every child gets £5 to set up a buisness and make profits. Once they have returned our investment, the children use the money on something lovely as a class. Thank you to everyone who helped and to all the families who came. I heard lots of adults say 'keep the change so you can all pay for something nice' which was so kind thank you. Well done to Mr Ayres and the team (and parents at home) for helping our children to manage such a complex but successful project! We are very impressed children. The end of year production is your next project!

Have a very warm and sunny weekend, everyone!
