Metheringham Primary School

We are pleased to welcome Miss Dickens to the team from January 2025. She will be working as a Teaching Assistant in Early Years and Key Stage one. 

Miss Wright has informed us that she is having a baby which is due to arrive in the summer term. This is wonderful news and we send all our love and congratulations to her and her family during this special time. 

Foundation Stage Children in Foundation Stage have been learning how to combine 2d shapes to make other 2d shapes. The children enjoyed exploring bread and cutting out new shapes. The best bit was the eating part! Nom Nom! 

Key Stage One We have really enjoyed learning about the United Kingdom in our Geography learning. As part of our learning journey, we have been exploring landmarks across the UK and developed an understanding of human and physical geographical features. We are almost at the end of our music sessions with the Lincolnshire Music Service where we have been taking part in a range of music games and activities to develop rhythm, pulse and pitch skills.  We also embraced the festive spirit creating Christmas-themed finger puppets! The children have been practising their sewing skills, working carefully with needles and threads to make their own unique puppets. 

Lower Key Stage Two In English, LKS2 have been planning and writing instructions on how to catch pesky goblins, unleashing their creativity and honing their writing skills. Our basketball games in PE have showcased fantastic teamwork and control. In Science, we’ve begun to understand the different layers and types of soil. We have examined the appearance of different soils and discussed the different properties they have. Lastly, linking back to last term’s learning about electricity circuits, children have been applying their knowledge to design and create their own light-up Christmas cards—combining science and creativity in a festive project.

Upper Key Stage Two In UKS2, we put our finishing touches to our information text about dragons and giants. The children are really looking forward to writing up their information texts into their exciting writing books. In Geography, we have been finding out about the climate and regions of North American. In DT we have been creating alarms using our knowledge of circuits. As well as all of the above, we have been finishing assessments this week, which the children have tried their very best in.

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

Our Happy and Healthy Ambassadors have been busy working with Mrs South to publish their first newsletter. This will be shared in classes before the Christmas break and will also be available via Seesaw at the end of term. They really hope that families share the newsletter with their children over the Christmas break and we know that they would love to see any families participating in their suggestions so please upload any pictures to your child's class Seesaw page. They have worked very hard and we are really proud of them.
