It is fair to say that Crew Gerrard were absolutely buzzing with the litter picking this afternoon and thoroughly loved it. It was great seeing so much enjoyment, Crew work and effort in making sure our playground is treated well. They were truly kind and want to make sure that it looks beautiful! What a fantastic effort guys! 😆
LKS2 have started their new PE unit: Dodgeball. We learnt the different rules and how we need to work together as a team. There was some excellent teamwork, along with healthy competition, showing a real sense of crew. Well done!
LKS2 also had a mini-football tournament to finish off their unit of football. The ball control, dribbling and skills were fantastic. Even better, there was so much communication to be heard and smiles as they enjoyed playing their game of football.
LKS2 have been learning about the roles of men and women during World War 2. This week, we have researched the different roles men had. The children learnt that men did many jobs; such as: working in industry, down the mines, for the police force, as a fire officer, as an ARP Warden and many many more. The children presented their information by making posters. They were so eager to show off all their new learning.
In one of the LKS2 maths groups, we have been working really hard on Place Value, understanding how many tens and ones there are in a number. This young man has worked so hard and is feeling very proud of himself. We are all very proud of you!
Hi everyone!
Just to let you know, on Thursday, we will be completing some litter picking outside and it will be on the field. We are suggesting that the children bring a change of footwear (wellies or trainers) so that their usual school shoes don’t get mucky, if it is damp. We’re doing this to help make our school look beautiful and to be kind to the environment.
We’ve had a really positive start to this week too, so we’re looking forward to building on that as this week and the next few weeks progress!
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!
Below are the links for the children to use to continue to learn our songs for music whilst they are at home.

Miss Lee helped LKS2 get into the spirit of Halloween a little early this year. She took a number of our Year 3 and 4s for a treat after a busy half term by making these fantastic pumpkin decorations! 🎃 Thank you Miss Lee! 😆
LKS2 have been working on creating propaganda for the War effort. We have learned this week about the roles of women during the Second World War and thought it would be a great idea to encourage more help for the effort. We learned that these posters were important in making women want to help with the War effort and fill the important roles that men had left behind.
We certainly think that these posters would have encouraged more people to help during the Second World War!
