• National Thank a Teacher Day 2022- Thursday 26 May

  Thu 19 May 2022

  Join the whole of the UK in celebrating National Thank a Teacher Day on Thursday 26th May. The day is dedicated to all the schools and colleges at the heart of our communities, from the teachers helping us make sense of the world to all the wonderful support staff keeping things running. We’d love you to be a part of this special day and show your appreciation for all the teachers and support staff who work so hard for us throughout the year.  We have already sent out templates you could use to thank your teacher or member of support staff.  Make sure you return these to the school office by Wednesday 25 May 2022 so we can share these with everyone on the website.

• Year 1 'Great Dinosaur Mystery' Inspirational day

  Fri 13 May 2022

  Year One Dinosaur Inspirational day 

   

  This morning some mysterious eggs were discovered in the Year One playground.  Everybody was mystified as to where they came from! The children were also greeted by some gigantic muddy footprints outside of the classrooms. 

   

  Throughout the day, the Year One children used their scientific knowledge to find out which dinosaur they belonged to. 

   

  Judging by the size of the footprints we first estimated that the dinosaur was about 9 metres long!  We then had to use our maths skills to measure out 9 metres in the playground and see which dinosaur it could have been.  We narrowed it down to two dinosaurs: a ferocious looking Carnivore called Carnotaurus, or a plant-eating Triceratops.  

   

  Exhausted by all their investigations, the children went back to class and had a dino-biscuit snack.  Next they had to examine a big pile of dinosaur poo!  Upon closer inspection it seemed the mystery dinosaur had been eating plants and seeds, so the children decided that it was a Triceratops! 

   

  The teachers then checked the CCTV footage from the playground and were shocked to see that a Triceratops had indeed been roaming about in the school and outside Mr Green’s classroom.  Some kind children from Chaffinch class even went to see if Mr Green was safe! 

   

  The children were all amazing throughout the day and a big thank you to all the staff that helped the day to run so smoothly, especially Mrs Pratt working hard behind the scenes!
