Spring 2 Week 1Newsletter

Spring 2 week 1 newsletter. Welcome back, Skip2BFit and The Phoenix of Persia

Welcome back!

We hope that all of our families had a restful half term and are refreshed and ready for the new term. Attendance is our key focus this half term - we want all pupils coming to school to enjoy all of the amazing experiences that we have prepared for them. If you need any support in regards to attendance please speak with Jane, Karen, Miss Aasim or Miss Spivey. 

Skip2Bfit

Dave from Skip2BFit joined us again to complete skipping workshops for Early Years and Key Stage 1. Key Stage 2 were lucky enough to have their workshops earlier in the year. Children learnt how to skip and learnt that practice makes you better. Each child skipped with a counting rope and then tracked their progress. Everyone saw that if they practiced they got better. At the end of the day Dave spoke with pupils and shared stories of how resilience and reflection really helped with learning.

     

The Phoenix of Persia 

Liz from the British Library visited both Year 5 classes and led a workshop on the book ‘The Phoenix of Persia.’ Pupils enjoyed the story and composed music  which could be played alongside the telling of the story. Pupils worked together showing their ‘succeed together’ attitude.
