After sending Joe Wicks a poster all about him, Gracie (Palm Class) received a text and video response from the man himself! We videoed his response but sadly the file is too large to upload.Â
Well done to everyone who entered the Christmas Jumper Competition in Palm Class- it was a tricky task to get it down to just three!
1st place- Ava R, 2nd place- Elliot M and 3rd- Georgia G.

Elf Training Day!
Virtual Archery Competition
This morning, both Palm and Willow participated in a virtual archery competition across school. The children were split into 4 groups and shot 10 arrows in total- each child was responsible for adding up their own scores. We are waiting patiently to see where we place against the other classes!
Smelly Sewers!
We had a great live virtual session with Severn Trent @stwater this afternoon. We learnt all about toilets, drains and sewage!
Anti-Bullying Week 2020
We kickstarted our week by joining in with Odd Socks Day. The theme this year is 'United against bullying'.
Children in Need
We did lots of different activities on Friday to support Children in Need. Joe Wicks completed his 24 hour workout and we joined him for the final 20 minutes. We played games and took part in the Pudsey Ramble. We also spent some time finding out more about Children in Need and reflected on our own lives.
Poetry - The Magic Box and The Door
The children worked very hard to create their own poems inspired by 'The Magic Box' and 'The Door'. They then presented their work for display in the library.
Palm Class Topic Launch Day- Go with the Flow
It was lovely to be back in school today, especially being able to launch our new geography topic. We had a fun and busy day, which included located the rivers in the World and UK, making and playing our own Rivers Top Trumps cards, and working together to solve a tricky river problem. We will start with rivers and end with rainforests.

Red Cross - Basic First Aid
Over the last few weeks, both Willow and Palm class have been learning about the work of The British Red Cross, including basic first aid skills. They have produced mini guides with the key steps needed.
Our Positive Pebbles
As a school, we wanted to celebrate the fact that we are back together after being separated by lockdown. Our Positive Pebbles show that, although things are still a challenge, we can get through it together.
