Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage ​Children in Reception have been learning about how harmful plastics can be in our oceans. They have made some wonderful posters about how we can help keep our oceans clean. 

Key Stage One Wow! The Key Stage One children have impressed us this week with their amazing learning in phonics and reading. They have displayed super attitudes and determination and we are all so proud of them. In maths the Year 2s have been having fun learning about position and direction and Year 1 have been securing their place value knowledge. We have also loved using technology to listen to, play and compose music using Chrome Music Hub and we started swimming! What a super week.  

Lower Key Stage Two Year 3 and 4 have been researching Anderson shelters as part of Design Technology learning.  Over the next couple of weeks, the children will be designing and making replica shelters to accompany our WWII learning.  We are especially  proud of the children in year 4 this week as they all showed determination and resilience in the official Multiplication tables check. Outside the classroom, the children have enjoyed playing rounders, focusing on team work and tactics.  The theme of sport has continued inside the classroom, with many children enjoying our 'Euro's' reading selection. 

Upper Key Stage Two Upper Key Stage 2 have been busy this week - busier than usual even!  Rehearsals are going well and the expression and vitality the children are bringing to their roles is commendable.  The Woodpeckers have completed their DT project to design and make a mobile phone/pencil case and we are all so proud of the determination and resilience they have shown to problem solve through this journey.  In Year 5, we began thinking about our changing bodies in RSHE.  We were incredibly impressed at the children's maturity and thoughtful questions regarding their feelings about their changing bodies and growing up. In Science, we have been learning about the geocentric and heliocentric theories of our solar system - tough concepts but we were all totally engaged and curious!  #lifelongloveof learning.

Well done to all of our classes maintaining 95% or above. Year 3, you have the best attendance of the week, well done!

These latenesses range from 5 minutes late to 60 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 has had the most players in the last 7 days! Well done :-)

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 Alex, what a great score!
