Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage ​Children in Foundation Stage have been identifying more complex repeating patterns. They have loved using their imaginations to create their very own repeating patterns.  

Key Stage One This week the Year 1 and 2 children visited Rand Farm.  The adventure began with a tour of the livestock area. The children were introduced to a variety of farm animals, including cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs.  They even got to bottle feed the calves and feed the rather cheeky goats! 

Lower Key Stage Two Year 3 and 4 have had a fantastic week of learning. In English, the children have been creating the story of a water droplet through pictures, using the book 'Rhythm of the Rain' as their inspiration. This forms the beginning of an exciting creative writing topic, which will support the children in showcasing their English skills and developing vocabulary.  Our science learning this term focuses on plants; the children enjoyed demonstrating how pollen moves between plants, transported by insects, to pollinate the flower using glitter and pipe cleaners!  In PE, swimming lessons have been embraced by all pupils. Similarly, a return to rounders has proved very popular and the children have demonstrated some great teamwork.   

Upper Key Stage Two It's been another jam-packed week in UKS2.  This week, our rehearsal for the end of year play have seen our young actors take to the stage without scripts, as well as adding dance routines to the songs. We also had a visit from a cricket coach, all of the children enjoyed taking part in showcasing their amazing batting and fielding skills. The Year 6s were busy putting the final touches to their Garden Party games.

With all the above going on, we still found time for our English and Math lessons. In English, the children have been working hard on their newspaper articles inspired by Hidden Figures and the moon landing. We are hoping to present final newspaper articles in the coming weeks. In Maths, we have continued to develop our understanding of shapes and angles, adding to our knowledge that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Year 6's have been getting ready for secondary school by learning... algebra!!! 

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

165 pupils have maintained 100% attendance so far this term.

Last years whole school attendance figure was 95.15%

Current whole school attendance is 95.35%

Our attendance figures this week are as follows:

Well done to all of our classes maintaining 95% or above. Miss Pearson's Class, you have the best attendance of the week, well done!

These latenesses range from 5 minutes late to 210 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

Battle of the Classes

 Each week we will display the TTRockstars Class averages to see who is putting in the most effort across the school.

Miss Tucker's Class had the most active players in the last 7 days!

A reminder to all families that from September 2024 our school day will be aligned and all pupils will finish school at 3:30. 

Well done Harry, another top spot! What a great score.
