Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage Children in Reception have been writing Acrostic poems about frogs. Look at their amazing writing after learning facts about them.  

Key Stage One This week, we have enjoyed releasing our butterflies into their natural habitats. We are enjoying watching our sunflower seeds flourish in the right growing conditions. We have been writing Minibeast Kenning Poems, and butterfly poetry. In maths, we are becoming experts in halves and quarters! Some classes have even given Drumba a go this week... 

Lower Key Stage Two The children have had a great week of learning, celebrating and sharing their knowledge of WWII and showcasing this in a display.   The children have been working on Time in Year 3, whilst year 4 have been focussing on their times tables.  The children had an exciting experience of being an evacuee, and being sent to a different classroom.  We will be discussing the emotions related to this event and the experience of real evacuees from the 1940's.  Finally, the children have enjoyed spending precious time reading our new stock of exciting books in the library.  

Upper Key Stage Two Week 5 has been a 'topsy turvy' kind of a week in Upper Key Stage 2.  We 100% commend our Year 6 on how they have admirably approached their end of Key Stage 2 SATs week.  Our young people have stirred our emotions with their 'Team Green' values of resilience and  determination.  No test ever could measure that!  Our Woodpeckers in Y5 arrived on Monday to find their lovely bright classroom displays covered over; they had to move base to allow Year 6 to move in!  Once again,  despite the upheaval, they have impressed us with their maturity in the face of disruption.  In PSHE, we considered how  to identify whether news was 'fake or real'.  Some giggles were had in this session for sure!  We know to Stop, Think, Question and Check when reading  material online.  Our 'Seesaw shout outs' are getting great feedback from children and parents and we are absolutely loving celebrating  our children's hard work and effort.  Term 5 is almost over.  What will Term 6 bring?  We can't wait! 

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

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

Last years whole school attendance figure was 95.15%

Current whole school attendance is 95.53%

Our attendance figures this week are as follows:

Mr Edwards' class, you have topped the leaderboard again! Well done!

These latenesses range from 5 minutes late to 310 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 Mr Edwards' Class! So much effort.

Well done to Liepa, another top place position! 

Thank you to everyone who has joined our 0-5 Moving On Up sessions throughout Term 5. This is a fantastic resource for the families of Metheringham Village. Please keep attending and spread the word. Sessions continue in Term 6 and are open to all!

We couldn't be prouder of our Year 6 children as they've truly exemplified our school values of determination and resilience throughout their SATs tests this week. Witnessing their unwavering commitment to learning and their refusal to give up, even when faced with challenges, has been truly inspiring. Each and every one of them has shown incredible growth and progress, not just academically, but also in their mindset and attitude towards overcoming obstacles. Their hard work and perseverance have paid off, and they should all be immensely proud of themselves. As their teachers, we are honored to have been a part of their journey, and we have no doubt that they will continue to achieve great things in the future. 

Now it's time to look forward to the end of the school year, and put on the show of all shows! Watch this space for news on our End of Year performance! 

A huge thank you to Mrs Evans and Pizza Plus for the wonderful treats :-)

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.
