• Bishop Richard's visit

  Tue 19 Jul 2016 Mrs Hall
  Bishop Richard visited school today to present our Church School Partnership 2 Award. Some of our School Governors also joined us and were all treated to a Collective Worship to showcase our five values: Respect and Reverence, Hope, Trust, Forgiveness and Thankfulness. Bishop Richard then presented our award and a beautiful wooden cross which was made especially for us. He then led us in prayer before taking a tour of the school and chatting to staff.

• Boss of the North

  Thu 07 Jul 2016 Mrs Hall

  Boss of the North is back for 2016!

  The White Rose Maths Hub, in partnership with Mangahigh, have invited us to join their Boss of the North maths competition running 11 - 19 July.  
  
  This week long event will see primary and secondary schools from across the North of England go head to head in order to be crowned the 'Boss of the North' and win some great prizes.

  
  Children will play online maths games to score points and win prizes. The hope is to highlight how maths can be fun, and this competition is a great way to do that. Some key points about the competition include:

  The competition will start at 10am on 11th July and run until 1pm on 19th July. On 11th July, you'll find a brand new competition leaderboard on your account, which will just count points earned during this period.

  Children earn points by completing activities on Mangahigh. Earning a bronze medal is worth 1 point, a silver is worth 2 and a gold medal is worth 3 points. Children can earn one medal per activity. So for example, if they pass an activity to bronze medal standard they will win 1 bronze medal and 1 point. If they replay that activity and upgrade their medal to gold, they will exchange their previously earned bronze medal for a gold medal and will get 2 extra points. They now have the maximum 3 points available for that task, and there are no more points to be had by replaying it - it's time to move on to something new.

  The aim of the game for your students is to earn 150+ points during the competition to win a real medal. On the 11th, they will see a new counter on their profile pages which will show them how close they are to this goal.

  Children who wish to take part should use the login details provided. 

  The link for the website is on the Children's section of this website.

   

   

• Sports Day update

  Thu 07 Jul 2016 Mr Hargreaves

  Due to the rain we will not be able to use the Scout Hut field.  Despite being really disappointed I would hate to risk an injury due to wet grass.  If the weather clears up for this afternoon we WILL use the KS2 Playground.  A message will be sent out around 11.30am to confirm arrangement.  We apologise but the rain took the decision out of our hands.

  Thank you and be in touch later,  Mr Hargreaves and Mr Kirby

• Festival of Sport information

  Wed 06 Jul 2016 Mr Hargreaves

  I was asked to write a quick note regarding tomorrow's Festival of Sport.  Tomorrow morning, ALL children will take part in our House Sports Competition on the Scout Hut field.  Parents are invited to come along and cheer for your child and their House as they take part in 12 different sporting challenges.  There will be refreshments provided by the PTFA.  ALL children take part in this and compete for the House Cup and will be rewarded for their efforts.

   

  Children return to School for lunch.  After lunch we then hold the Elite Athletics Competition on the KS2 Yard, including children from Reception to Year 6.  Once again ALL parents are invited as spectators (1.30pm arrival) as different track and field events are experienced.  During this event, children from each class who came top in the top three or so from each activity (when practicing in PE) will compete against each other.  Trophies and medals will be presented.  Not all children take part in this due to time / space restrictions, but watch and cheer on their classmates.  Text messages have been sent out to competitors for the afternoon event.  Last year it was a real family event, supporting children who have persevered over the past few weeks, refined their skill and earned their place for the afternoon.  All children will be involved in some way during the afternoon and get to experience a live sporting event with athletes of their own age.

   

  The children have been building up to our Festival of Sport during this summer term and are well prepared for it.  It will be FANTASTIC to share this events with you and watch each child flourish and achieve in both the morning and the afternoon.

   

  Mr Hargreaves
