Metheringham Primary School

Foundation Stage ​​Children in Reception have been using position and direction language through computing. They enjoyed listening to and copying a robot, then they gave each other verbal instructions using wonderful language. Well done Chicks and Robins.  

Key Stage One This week KS1 have been buzzzzy making their Bee hotels.  They are looking forward to finishing them next week and evaluating their designs.  We hope they will have some residents soon. 

Lower Key Stage Two This week in year 3 and 4, the children have been sending support to all the players and teams at the Euro's by singing loud and proud some of the team's anthems in assembly.  The children have been busy completing their Anderson shelters in Design and Technology; working in teams to produce some impressive models.  In English this week, the children have been learning about Haiku poetry, the rules to writing a Haiku poem and producing their own versions. Whilst in Geography, the children have been working in teams to navigate and measure the school grounds using a compass.  Swimming lessons have been a great success throughout this term, and the children have thoroughly embraced the opportunity to impress their peers and demonstrate their strengths in the pool.  Similarly, adults have noticed children who have challenged themselves and achieved personal success in the pool; week on week growing in confidence.  

Upper Key Stage Two This past term has been a vibrant and enriching time at Metheringham Primary School, filled with a variety of exciting events that have both educated and delighted our pupils. The UKS2 children continue to work so hard, as we complete the remaining lessons of the curriculum. This particular week, however, the annual play has taken precedence, where our talented students have shone in the end-of-year performance, showcasing their hard work and creativity to a proud audience of family and friends. Zoe and Amelia-Grace tell us more:

At Metheringham Primary school, UKS2 (Year 4, 5 and 6) have been working hard to put on a play for the parents/carers. Some really strong actors are coming to the surface and children are expressing their abilities in different ways. Read more to find out what happens behind the scenes.

The name of the play is ‘What a Knight’ and is a comedy set in King Arthur’s time. The main character is called Watt Cobblers and he is training to be a knight of the round table but gets expelled. He then meets the adventurous Princess Alice and her best friend Dusty the dragon. They all help defeat the villain, the Black Knight, and find Excalibur, which Merlin the wizard had lost.

There were only 64 speaking roles, so the children had to audition to get a part. The child playing the main role said that they were overjoyed when they got the main character. Several props were used so a handful of children were allocated the part of setting up the stage and handing out props. Other children were also able to control music and sound effects.

The performances were held in Week 6 and the children worked so hard since the start of it. A member of Year 6 says, “It was a great opportunity and made a change to the normal lessons.’’ All the UKS2 teachers were so pleased with the outcome.

Please find a reminder about school uniform in preparation for the September uniform shop: 

• Children are expected to wear school uniform Monday to Friday. 

• Class teachers will provide parents with PE days for each term, and it is expected that PE kit is worn on those days of the week. 

• If your child has a sporting after school club and it is not their PE day, this should be brought in a bag for them to change into.

 Our school uniform consists of the following: 

• White shirt or polo shirt (with or without school logo) 

• Emerald green sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without school logo) 

• Black trousers, skirt or pinafore dress

 • Black cotton shorts or green gingham dress for the summer months

 • Black socks or tights 

• Black (or mostly black) flat-soled shoes/trainers are encouraged so pupils can be as active as possible at breaktimes. Shoe laces must be black. 

• Book bag with logo in KS1, optional in KS2 

PE Kit 

• Green T-shirt (with or without logo) 

• Black shorts 

• Black (or mostly black) trainers. Laces must be black.

For safety reasons, no jewellery of any kind is to be worn during PE sessions.

Black trainers or shoes must be worn at all times. 

These latenesses range from 8 minutes late to 105 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.

Well done to Miss Tucker's Class, you had the most active players this week! Great Effort!

Well done Harry and and all of the top ten spellers, this is a great achievement!
