Training day – Arty Ideas!
We thought you’d enjoy hearing a little about what went on during our recent teacher training day! Part of the day was dedicated to developing our art knowledge and skills with our resident art teacher, Mrs Boulton.
Teachers got hands-on with paints, pastels and even soap! There was plenty of colour, laughter, and even a bit of friendly competition as we experimented with new techniques and ideas for upcoming art lessons.
The rest of the day focussed on other important areas too, including maths and inclusion. It was a full, productive day – and we left feeling ready and excited for the next half-term!
First half term is over
What a fantastic first half term we’ve had in 1A. I am so impressed with all of the children. They have all settled well into their new class well and have shown fantastic learning behaviour and eagerness to learn. I am immensely proud and can’t wait for the rest of the year ahead.
Have a well deserved break and I look forward to starting Autumn term 2 soon.

Living and learning : democracy (voting for our class JLT representative)
This week’s Living and Learning lessons have all been about democracy. Children presented a speech if they decided they wanted to represent their class on the Junior Leadership Team (JLT). Then, we voted in the hall by putting our votes in a ballot box. We announced the winners in the Golden Assembly on Friday.

Watch us while we work
Thank you to all the adults who came to support us this week. Hopefully you got a little insight into what goes on in school.

JLT
Democracy is a key part of British Values and during this week, our classes have cast their votes for who they would like to represent their class on the JLT. We were absolutely overwhelmed by the number of children that wrote speeches. These were well written, full of ideas and showed off their best qualities such as leadership, good listening skills and initiative.
The votes were counted and the new members have been announced!
Here are our new members:
5,6A – Stanley
5,6B – Joseph
5,6C – Grayson
3,4A – Marshall
3,4B – Penny
3,4C – Jessica
2C – Oliver
1,2B – Oscar
1A – Harlow
Well done to each of you. I’m looking forward to working with you this year and can’t wait to get started.
Geography fieldwork in 2C
2C enjoyed carrying out their fieldwork this week. They counted trees and identified them using a leaf identification chart.

Fieldwork in 1,2B
We brought our geography topic to life this week by conducting some fieldwork outside. We wanted to find out how many and what types of trees are on our field. We used a tally chart to count and tree identification pictures to find out what types we have.

1A Geography fieldwork
What a fantastic time we had on our Geography fieldwork this week! The children showed excellent awareness of how to stay safe while carrying out their investigations.
Before setting off, we reminded ourselves of our important safety rules:
-
We stay with our class and our adults at all times.
-
We listen carefully to our adult’s instructions.
Our fieldwork question was: “What trees are there on the school field?”
To find the answer, we took photographs and collected leaves from different trees and then later identified them in class.
Next week we will be presenting our findings and discussing what we found. The tree that was the most common was a beech tree. We enjoyed looking at the oak tree as there were lots of acorns on the floor.

Year 2 football
Thank you so much to everyone that took part in the Y2 football tournament yesterday. Thank you to the adults that brought the children along and came to cheer them on from the side lines. They did so well, working as a team for the first time together.
See the results below!
The children looked fantastic in their Scholes kit, kindly provided by FOSP.
Our next games will be held Monday 24th assembly.
