Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage ​This week, the Reception children have been focusing on subtraction in maths.  They used different mathematical equipment and developed their vocabulary.

Key Stage One It has been a fantastic week of learning in Key Stage One where we have been beginning to learn about position and direction and statistics in maths. In English, we finished our super minibeast kennings and published them to our Exciting Writing books and in PE, we got very musical (and sweaty!) doing Drumba. We can't wait to return to school after half term to get the drumsticks out some more!  

Lower Key Stage Two LKS2 have been writing brilliant letters in English this week. They have imagined they are evacuees and written a letter home to share their experiences.  This terms artwork has been amazing. We have been creating portraits in a cubism style. The children have enjoyed exploring different shapes, colours and mediums in this unit. Finally, the weather may have prevented us from doing some PE lessons outside, but we have been lucky enough to enjoy a drumba session … both teachers and children have loved the collaboration of music and exercise. 

Upper Key Stage Two As we arrive at the end of another jam packed term, we are filled with pride and excitement reflecting on the accomplishments of our Upper Key Stage 2 children.  Last week, our annual Sports Day was a resounding success. Not just because of how blessed we were with the weather, but how the children showcased their athletic prowess, teamwork, and sportsmanship. To end Term 5, the children have been designing, making and evaluating their Mayan Masks in art. Many considerations have been made re colours, materials and tools, whilst thinking about the effect and the overall finished product. Term 6 will be here in a flash and with it brings the all important END OF YEAR PERFORMANCE! The children will now have been told their parts and will be coming home with their scripts. Enjoy the half-term break with your children. May it be a safe and sunny one. I'm sure by the end of it, you'll know the script off by heart! Oh, What a Knight!! 

25 pupils have maintained 100% attendance so far this academic year.

Well done to The Robins! A great week for excellent attendance.

These latenesses range from 5 minutes late to 152 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.

Every child from Year 2 upwards has a TTRockstars account which can be accessed in school or at home via the website TTRockstars

It's time for a TTRockstars shake up!

 Each week this term we will be focusing on effort. Mrs Duggin can see how many days each child has logged in and played TTrockstars. Each week she will award house points to each child which equates to the total number of days played that week. If you play every day you can earn a total of 7 house points for your team and maybe a 'quacking' prize if you put in the most effort across the term. 

How many house points will you earn in the next 7 days?

Well done to Miss Tucker's Class for the most effort in the last 7 days! There are lots of housepoints coming your way!

Well done to Max, you are smashing your spellings!

Please take some time to remind your child of the school's expectations for reading and homework. We are seeing an increase in pupils who are not engaging with regular reading at home and this will impact on academic progress. Please help us by making daily reading a habit, the best kind of habit.
