Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage The Chicks and the Robins have been to visit the village library this week.  The staff at the library read us a story linked to our science topic.  All the children got to select a book to bring back to school.  We are all looking forward to sharing the stories in class.  We are so lucky to have such a great library in our village with so many exciting books.  Maybe you would like to visit the library with your adults? 

Key Stage One Key Stage One have enjoyed getting practical with their maths this week. Year 2 have been enjoying problem solving with measures. We have also loved sharing lots of poetry that has been written at home after being inspired by our visiting poet last week.  

Lower Key Stage Two Year 3 and 4 have had a busy week of fun, laughter and drama.  Our school performance of Jack and the Beanstalk was a credit to the children who performed and sang stupendously.  It was amazing to see so many grown-ups come to watch the play and support the children as they challenged themselves to put on an incredible show.  In between performances, the children have been focussing on exploring, creating and writing alternate endings to Jack and the Beanstalks traditional tale.  In science this week the children have been identifying animal groups, specifically vertebrates.  

Upper Key Stage Two As we edge closer to the holidays and with Easter just around the corner, thoughts of chocolate, spring and Easter bunnies are filling our thoughts.  However in Upper Key Stage 2, we are still hard at work!  

Year 6 have been reminiscing about their adventures at Kingswood, as they prepare for their assembly to share their achievements, facing their fears and all their wonderful memories from their first residential.   Our Year 5's have been focussing on their powerful new English unit based around the biographical drama, "Hidden Figures."  We have asked questions about a topic and used adverbs and conjunctions to connect facts effectively to write a paragraph for a NASA's webpage.   Our maths learning about decimals has been challenging, but as ever, our determined Woodpeckers have embraced their learning and achieved!  In PSHE, we have explored jobs and the range of routes into them.  One thing that stands out this week is that the Woodpeckers are now showing such strong and mature learning behaviours.  It won't be long before Y6 and Y7  is looming!

We have had a lot of poorly children this week. Well done to everyone who has been in school and maintained a good level of attendance.

These latenesses range from 8 minutes late to 68 minutes late. This has a huge impact on classroom teachers, office staff, pupils in class and the child that is late. Please help us to reduce lateness.

Well done to Lydia and all of our top spellers!
