Today we went to visit St Saviours church and donated money raised by our school council to their soup kitchen. We also donated adult clothing and food from our generous school community. We are now looking at how we can support this wonderful service to the community further.

21st - 25th January 2019

 

This week the students were immersed in the STEM programme. Focussing on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the students gained valuable hands-on experience and enjoyed learning about the many interesting opportunities that STEM subjects can offer. “Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education plays a vital role in equipping youth people with the knowledge and skills needed to participate in and contribute to society” - The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, 2013.

We are all so proud of the children and the teachers for producing two amazing Christmas Shows. Also a huge well done to our drama club for entertaining us all with Santa's Got Talent. Our new stage, lights and sound system made such a brilliant improvement on last year. Well done Everyone!

 

All our children were thrilled to receive a visit from Santa. Santa told them how far he travelled and explained he would not be giving them sweets as these were bad for their teeth. However he was gifting them something for their brains. All children received a beautiful new book to read over the holidays. Year 1 could not even wait for the holidays to start reading. Thank you Santa for travelling so far to visit us!

  

 

Being a child is not easy. Learning to control your feelings and emotions takes time. Even as adults we all still feel angry and frustrated and we have lots of life experience. For children this is even harder and children need understanding and support to help them control their emotions and build confidence. The image below contains some great ideas to help children manage their emotions.

Well done to our new House Captains and Vice Captain for conducting part of our school assembly. The captains have the job of informing the children which team have won the weekly house cup. Today it was Lions!
