We are so proud of our children this morning in their performance ‘Prickly Hay’. We can’t wait to do it all again at 1.30pm. See there!

World Cup Blog
Dear parents and carers,
As I am sure many of you are aware, the world cup is fast approaching. We know that there is controversy surrounding the hosts of this and that there are some issues regarding Qatar. Many of our students are asking whether we will be watching the England match next week. The purpose of this letter is to clarify our position around the controversy and what we intend to do with students to support their education in regards to this.
It is important that we share the concern regarding the ongoing human rights record in Qatar. As a school, we have activism as a pillar of our curriculum and know it is important that as citizens of the UK we support our pupils in learning how to respectfully fight for what they believe is right. At the heart of our education, we teach our pupils the importance of having choice and valuing the choices they have in the UK.
We will have special crew sessions next week planned to ensure that pupils are aware, at their sensitive level of understanding, of what the controversy is about and we are using this as an opportunity to continue to develop children’s understandings of British Values.
On Tuesday 29th November, school will have a non uniform day where children can come dressed in their football/England shirts, however this is not essential as we understand some parents may be opting out of watching the World Cup this year.
KS1 getting smart in arithmetic!
Children in KS1 have been working and getting smart exploring place value in arithmetic this week. We’Ve counted forwards, backwards, ordered numbers, completed number lines, the list is endless! Our magical mathematicians have been working so hard 🧮
Super mathematicians in Y1
Today we discovered if we work hard then it makes us feel so proud of ourselves. Today in maths I was so proud of our little crew 😊 We introduced addition and how we can use the part, whole, model to support this. obviously, working with smarties helped a lot 😋 The children blew me away with their language around addition, we’d remembered so much already after exploring this briefly last half term.
Celebration of Learning KS1
Let’s Build!!
The children celebrated their learning with their parents, explaining to their grownups ‘What lies within the castle walls’.
During the celebration of learning we set our grown ups a challenge! To create a catapult which fired the furthest, it was so much fun working together! Alissia and her Dad built an amazing catapult which used some incredible power to launch her boulder all the way across the playground!
