Early in January, Venn from Destination Imagination came to inspire children from Class 3 and 4 to design from a mismatch of unusual materials. Groups of 5 - 6 children had to work together to use the materials in new and varied ways. They were given a brief, a timescale and the materials to work with. Destination Imagination will be added to this term's clubs, along with football, gym, korf ball and nature club.
This term, children from Class 4 are studying World War II; if you have any artefacts or memories to share, please contact the school. Class 3 are studying Ancient Egyptians, whilst Class 1 and 2 are looking at Homes and have visited Rose Cottage to look at the building work.
We are pleased to receive our Bronze Eco Schools' Award which means that the school has audited areas for improvement to its environment and energy use. Our actions for the silver award are to reduce waste by improving paper recycling and composting; reduce water and electricity consumption; redesign our nature area to improve habitats and increase its use in the curriculum.
Please help by sending in your used ink cartridges, aluminium cans and old mobile phones for recycling.
The children are enjoying using the new pieces of trim trail which include a traverse pole and tyre challenge. The last piece is being purchased and will be installed by the end of term. Many thanks to FoSPS for all their fund raising.
Year 7s - please note the date of our Easter Egg Bingo; it's traditional that you return to the school to take your places at the back of the hall.
