Shakespeare Week
The children have enjoyed a range of exciting activities across
school as part of Shakespeare Week, including composing music to a
lullaby, painting pictures of a magical forest, finding out facts
about Shakespeare, creating soundscapes, taking part in drama and
recreating a piece of medieval art. We hope parents will have
enjoyed the opportunity to come and look at the children’s work.
Superheroes
As part of the Reception theme of “superheroes” the
children have been thinking about real life superheroes.
This week, the children have enjoyed a visit from Mrs
Sworder, our school crossing patrol officer. The children
learnt about how to cross the road safely and enjoyed
trying on the special uniform!
Year 5 Footballers Visit
On Wednesday, Year 5 pupils were very lucky
to be visited by two Burton Albion players.
Chris O’Grady and Lloyd Dyer visited as part of
the
‘Move and Learn’ project that Year 5 are currently participating in.
They discussed the importance of being healthy and even joined in
a game of handball with the children.
Stone Age Experience Day
Year 3 and 4 had a fantastic time this week, visiting Conkers for
their Stone Age Experience Day. They were entertained by a
performance from a Cave Man, who was able to show them what
their day would have been like in the Stone Age. The children had
the opportunity to learn from real archaeologists how they made
their weapons, how to trade goods and how difficult it was to
collect water and grind grains to make flour.
Football News
Our football team have played two impressive matches this
week. The first was in a cup quarter final against Shobnall
B, which we won 7-0, and the second match was against
Richard Crosse which we won 7-1!!! The team played
brilliantly in both matches and showed real team spirit.
Thank you very much to all the children who played and a
big thank you to our parents for their support which is
much appreciated. Fingers crossed for the semi-final!
Attendance Awards
Well done to Class 1V (100%) and Class 4C (99.2%) who
were the best attended classes last week.
Dates For Your Diary
Comic Relief Bake Sale
Well done to the group of Year 6 boys who have been busy baking in
order to raise money for Comic Relief. The cakes and biscuits they
made looked delicious and we look forward to finding out how much
they raised.
