Music

Year Six have thoroughly enjoyed playing the Dood and have learnt a great deal in terms of reading music and enjoying playing a musical instrument.

 

Online Safety

This week Miss Darmanin led our half termly safety assembly with a focus on Online Safety. Children were reminded of the SMART safety rules and they discussed each element. A huge well done to everyone, Miss Darmanin was very impressed with how knowledgeable the children are. They were all reminded to share the SMART safety rules at home and to always make sure grown ups are aware of their online activity.

Huge congratulations to the Y6 pupils who completed their Level 2 Bikeability award this week. The staff from the ‘Learn Cycling’ team were delighted with our children, saying that they were a joy to be with and have made the experience a very happy and productive one. Lovely comments for our pupils. Well done Team 6 we are very proud of you.

Children will receive a certificate of completion and a badge.

Enterprise event at Thomas Adams School

Today some of our Y6 pupils attended Thomas Adams for a business and enterprise event where they had to create an innovative sandwich or wrap. They had to design their produce, cost it out, work out the profits and come up with ideas to market their product. They made posters and catchy jingles, they then had to present them to the judges to be in with a chance of winning. They were creative, brave and worked very well as teams. Well done to all involved.

Welcome to Class 6!

Goodbye Y6

Wishing our fabulous year 6 pupils the very best of luck for their onward learning journeys.

Y6 – You’ve been amazing, we are very proud of you, now go forwards with your heads held high, embrace the opportunities at your secondary schools and always remember to live out the school values and be the best that you can be!

Thomas Adams Science Lesson

This week year 5 and some year 6 pupils had an exciting science lesson from Mr Gilbert a teacher at Thomas Adams school. The children tested water resistance by dropping plasticine shapes in oil and they made a rocket which they later launched into the sky from the school field. All the children thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and impressed Mr Gilbert with their excellent behaviour, enthusiam and scientific knowledge. It was lovely to give the children a taste of how exciting science is – especially once they get to secondary school.

Uniform

A reminder that full uniform is expected at all times. Even though we are approaching the end of term, that shouldn’t mean that we let pride in our uniform standards slip.  We wear our Hodnet blue, to show that we are part of our school team, we are smart, proud and ready to learn. We are also adhering to our school rules and values by wearing the correct uniform, as it is a school policy to wear it.

Uniform is a fundamental part of most schools and other organisations procedures, ensuring communities are unified. Our children will find high expectations of uniform standards right through their educational career, so we aim high from the beginning.

We also recognise that our children require parental support to ensure they are adhering to our uniform policy. Thank you to parents and families for your cooperation with this. 

Uniform Policy 2024 26

We have lots of uniform free to families due to the high number of good quality donations that we receive. Please pop into the lobby to take a look of you would like some.

Mrs Lyall, Headteacher.
