I would like to thank everyone for making me so welcome at the assembly on the 13th June. As a newly appointed Governor I am looking forward to learning about the school and meeting you all. It was lovely to see all the children, so well behaved and contributing to the assembly.

Congratulations to those who received certificates. It must be very difficult to decide who is awarded the recognition as there are so many exceptional children in the school. All with different qualities. All of which are equally important.

We are looking to appoint a Parent Governor and from my experience I would certainly recommend it. If anyone is interested in the role  I would definitely look into it as it is a very rewarding position.

What a fantastic week of sports we have had! The year 4/5/6 girls' cricket team and the mixed 5/6 cricket team competed at Runcorn CC this week against local schools. Behaviour and sportsmanship of all pupils was exemplary and it has been a pleasure to spend some quality time with them. All children improved their cricket performance and had fun in the process!

We have had a fabulous week in Sycamore!

This week, we have enjoyed continuing with your class text, Ziraffe Giraffa. We have learnt all about giraffes, using adjectives to describe. As a result, we have written some fantastic descriptive sentences!

In music, we have been learning about body percussion and rhythm. Working in partners, we have created our own short performances and presented these to the class. Everyone did a great job!

In maths, we have continued to look at perimeter. I have been really impressed with everyone's mental maths skills - super counting!

We finished up our week by congratulating our class friend Charlie on receiving a gymnastics award - well done!

This week we spent some time in the forest-making our own hot air balloons to create our very own hot air balloon festival in the forest. The children really enjoyed being outside and being as creative as possible!

We also learnt first aid-we practised putting each other in the recovery position, as well as looking at how to stay safe using household items to help with first aid.

Musically we have been busy-writing a leavers song! We have been writing a chorus and a verse, and then starting to add our own melody to the song. We have had a great time doing this.

Finally, we have been preparing for sports day on the field.

We have enjoyed a fantastic week in Larch as we continue to keep our full focus and foot on the pedal for the remaining weeks. The children continue to show strong engagement and a willing to rise to the challenge set as we work towards a smooth transition to Year 4 and 5.

In our Writing sessions, the children have continued to develop their writing for different purposes as they planned and wrote their own diary entries (Mon/Tue) and letters (Thu/Fri).

In Maths, the children have been exploring regular and irregular polygons whilst solving problems relating to perimeter.

We have blocked our Music learning this week too, with the children working in small groups to compose and perform their own ostinato, and showed wonderful engagement throughout.

We’ve had a very natural world approach to our learning this week - planting seeds and finding out what plants need to grow, as well as labelling parts of plants.

We’ve had a lovely, cool afternoon in the forest and used lots of water play to cool ourselves down in the high temperatures.

We’ve been reading Supertato and finding out what Supertato and the Evil Pea have been up to! Could this really be the end for Supertato?

Another lovely week in Willow Class. We are definitely making the most of our Summer Term with this gorgeous weather.

In our wider curriculum we have been learning about Maps and what maps are used for. We have played 'Pirate Map Bingo' to help us to begin to identify features on a map.

We continued with this learning, in our Forest Session by creating 'Journey Sticks' and talking about the journey we made. We then created a map of our journeys.

On Friday, we came into Willow Class to see that someone or something had been into class overnight! There was a real buzz of excitement as the children discovered this, and were discussing who could have left all this! We had some fantastic ideas about who could have trapped the vegetables and tied them up! This was the start of our new Pathways story and we are looking forward to finding out who it was!

We finished our week with a lovely visit from Emma from the Library. Emma brought lots of wonderful books to share with us linked to our 'Fun at the Beach' topic. We enjoyed the stories and we sang some songs too.
