PE - Tag Rugby
What a fantastic day our children had at the Tag Rugby Festival this week! They demonstrated brilliant teamwork, incredible speed, and fantastic sportsmanship throughout the whole event.
The children faced teams from several other local schools and played with huge energy and enthusiasm, scoring some magnificent tries and making excellent tags. They supported each other wonderfully and represented our school brilliantly!
A huge well done to all the players - you made us very proud! Thank you also to the parents who supported us with dropping off the children and picking them up!
KS2 Sewing Club
Sewing Club has been a real success this term! The children have enjoyed learning basic sewing skills, such as threading needles and using a running stitch! Children have designed their own bookmarks and we will be bringing these to life next term as we continue Sewing Club!
We hope your child had a spooktacular time at the PTFA Halloween discos this week! The children loved the music, the dance-offs, and showing off their amazing costumes. We are so grateful to the PTFA for all their hard work in making these memorable events happen.
Here you can see the work from our Wonderful Writers of the Term!
Every week we will showcase the winners of our weekly writing certificate so you can see the piece of writing they won their award for.
