Literacy Buddy Session

Each half-term we hold a 'buddies' session with older pupils working with younger ones to develop their literacy or numeracy skills. This week it was the turn of literacy.

Children from Year 6 worked with Year 2 on acrostic poems on the theme of buddies!

Year 5 worked with Year 1 on the iPads to create mini plays using the Puppet Pals app.

Netball Tournament Christ College

Unfortunately due to adverse weather conditions and Met Office warnings, we have decided to withdraw from the tournament planned for tomorrow after school. 

We will arrange other matches after half term. 

Thanks for your support and understanding

Enrichment Music Sessions

This year we have arranged and hosted More Able Enrichment Sessions for our cluster. So far Year 4 have worked with Mrs Williams developing their creative writing and Year 5 have completed a textiles project with Mrs Wilkie and link governor, Liz Jenkins. 

The most recent has been music with Mrs Kath Davies. Out Year 6 musicians worked with Mrs Davies over a few weeks having the opportunity to work as a group. Each had to listen carefully and stay together. They performed Pachelbel Canon for parents, staff and governors. Well done to all involved in the sessions so far. 

We look forward to the remaining workshops this year, including Gymnastics and Maths. 

Wake up Zumba!

Don't forget 8.45am tomorrow. Wake up Zumba with Bonny in the school hall. 

Everyone welcome so see you all there. 

Football and Netball matches cancelled tomorrow

Unfortunately the matches planned for tomorrow have been cancelled due to weather conditions. 

We will reschedule for after the half term break.
