Don’t forget to sign up for the Halloween Witches and Wizards disco, taking place tomorrow.
If you would like your child to attend please ensure you have signed up before 3pm today! Unfortunately we can not accept payment any later due to organising refreshments and staffing.
All children will enter through their classroom doors tomorrow for the disco at 3.30pm where they will be registered if payment has been made. We ask that children are collected at 4.30pm from their classroom doors.
Preparations for Young Voices will begin on Tuesday 1st November (3:00-4:00) for children in KS2. Please ensure that your child is signed up via ParentPay to secure their place. The club will be FREE to attend and further information about our Young Voices performance will be sent out in due course. This event is always such a great success and it would be fantastic if as many children as possible are able to attend our rehearsals weekly ready for our performance at Sheffield Arena in January 2023!

Tuesday is our challenge crew and we had a tricky one this week.
It was called, Photo Finish. The aim? For the whole crew to cross a line together for a photo finish. We needed to focus on communication and coordination. Maybe you could try it over half term with your families for a unique family photo? Here’s how…
Here’s how we got on.
What a great afternoon, Years 3 to 6 have had at Campsmount for the football tournament. The boys gave their all in pretty poor weather and we didn’t let the wet weather dampen our spirits! Even though they did not get the results they wanted, the boys were fantastic. Their effort and humility was fantastic to see. After each game, they shook hands with their competitors and did not complain. You guys did myself and Mrs Rhodes proud. More importantly, you represented the school brilliantly. Keep going and you will continue to improve and get even better!
There were so many of our boys playing football for the first time today and they gave it their all. Seeing their enjoyment and happy smiles at the end was completely worth it. The fact that they enjoyed playing this wonderful game is amazing to see!
It was incredibly tricky to choose a player of the tournament for both the 3/4 and 5/6 teams. These were, Tommy M (Year 5) and Charlie S (Year 3). Both boys were impressive in the net and pulled off some fantastic saves. Our most improved players were Kaylum (Year 5) and Thomas O (Year 4). It was incredibly difficult to pick because of the fantastic displays throughout.

We had a great start to the day this morning when we worked across all of the year 6 crews to do maths. We were looking at the methods for short and long division. We worked really well with one another by helping and supporting each other with these tricky questions.
We all know we’ll face challenges in our daily lives so in crew sessions, we’re looking at how we respond to challenges and what strategies we can use to overcome them. Our latest challenge was to create a paper plane in 3 minutes. Although the success of the planes varied, we all showed great teamwork, collaboration and resilience and are developing our understanding of how we can apply these skills when we face academic challenges. Great work!
We started our musical learning journey this week by listening to and appraising a piece of music by composer Gustav Holst, that was created to represent the character of the planet Mars. We discussed the instruments used, the tempo and dynamics of the piece before thinking about how Holst used all these elements to portray the characteristics of war usually associated with Mars.
