KS2 were invited to take part in a mini-Olympic carousel at Parkside Academy. The children took part in throwing, running and jumping events. The event was brilliantly run by the Year 9 sports leaders and Mrs Inglis, a huge thank you to them. The children thoroughly enjoyed being at their first event outside of school this year!
Swimming
This week swimming lessons will resume for Year 5 and 6 children. Year 6 children will swim on Wednesday afternoons (apart from Wednesday 16th June when they will swim in the morning so that they are able to attend the Mini-Olympics afternoon at Parkside Academy) and Year 5 children will swim on Friday mornings. Please ensure that your child comes to school on those days with their swimming kit including a swimming hat.
EYFS Welly Walk
Before half term, our Nursery and Reception children took part in a sponsored Welly Walk to raise funds to support resources to enhance provision across the Early Years. The children (and parents!) have completely amazed us by raising a massive £1127.50! A huge thank you to everyone who helped with sponsorship and walked in their wellies!
Captain Tom Challenge 100
Captain Tom Moore was a former British Army officer known for his efforts to raise money for the NHS in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. The 30th April would have seen Captain Tom celebrate his 101st birthday therefore in school we wanted to do something in recognition for what he did for the NHS and to celebrate his life. Each class were given a Challenge 100 task to complete throughout the day which encouraged them to work together and use their Maths skills. Have a look on the class pages to see if what some of the classes did.
After School Clubs
After school clubs returned this week, with Year 2 taking part in multi skills and Year 3 taking part in archery. The children thoroughly enjoyed the clubs with some children winning medals and chocolate eggs as prizes!
The Masked Reader
To celebrate World Book Day, the teachers have decided to read a snippet from their favourite books. However, they are cleverly disguised with a mask! Can you work out who is who?
Merry Christmas Everyone!
What a fantastic last week. Thank you to the kitchen staff for making such a lovely Christmas dinner last Friday which kick started our week of festive activities.
All the children have had a brilliant time this week. They’ve had parties, participated in a virtual pantomime and managed to join in our annual tradition of Twelve Days of Christmas in a socially distanced assembly! Thank you to staff members for organising all activities. Photos of the week can be found on our class pages on the website as well as a special Christmas Mannequin Challenge from the Year 5s!
The children have worked so hard this term and we hope you all have a relaxing and a safe break and we’ll see you back in school on 5th January 2021.
Finally, our staff members would just like to send you a special message. Click here to watch it!

Christmas Parties
We’re getting very close to the end of term and so next week it’s Christmas Party week!All children should come to school on the morning of the day of their party in their party clothes. Please ensure that your child has sensible shoes and a warm coat as they will still be required to play outside during the day. Parents are not required to send party food and the children will be provided with a drink and a snack.
This year, all classes will have a separate party.
The dates are as follows:
Nursery & Reception – Monday 14th December am / pm
Year 3 / 4 – Tuesday 15th December am / pm
Year 1 / 2 – Wednesday 16th December am / pm
Year 5 / 6 – Thursday 17th December am / pm
Christmas Jumper Day
Don’t forget that Friday 11th December isn’t just our Christmas lunch day, but also Christmas jumper day. Children are invited to come to school in a Christmas jumper. This year we will be supporting Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day.
A collection box will be situated in each classroom and any donations towards this cause will be gratefully received.
Our Christmas post boxes are also available for any children wishing to send Christmas cards. To enable children to post their cards in the correct post box, please ensure that they have the child’s name and year group clearly written on the front of the envelope. Post boxes will be emptied on Monday mornings following a quarantine period over the weekend.
