Reception Round Up - 20032020 

We congratulated three more children in Class 3S who received the prestigious Pen Licence for working hard on making their handwriting cursive and consistent in lessons.

I decided that the others have missed the opportunity, for now, to show their perseverance and practise so.... the rest have been send home with their own handwriting pen too!

The idea is that during home learning, they can continue their joins and structure and if they can prove they are worthy of their Pen Licence when we return, then they too will have their licence card presented in our Good News assembly.  

Class 4M are busy raising money for the Bwengu Projects Malawi. Wednesday saw them tackling their toughest challenge yet of a 40 minute 'Sponsored Silence!' They all made it through (just!) and will now be collecting sponsors to be returned after the Easter holidays.

They are still looking for sponsors from anyone who would like to support them. Fundraising is planned to continue when we all return to school.

Year 6 have been designing their own apps and presenting/pitching them 'Dragon's Den' style to their classmates.

I have been blown away by the super range of Victorian homes projects that Year 6 have created. 

From Powerpoint presentations to papier mache models and posters, the children have researched their topics in detail and chosen to share their knowledge so creatively.

On Wednesday in the Afterschool club, we had a little conversation time. We had interesting questions like "if you were a colour, what colour would you be?", "what unusual topic do you wish you could learn as a subject at school?" "What do you like about your best friend?" "If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?" To which one answer was "to have infinite wishes, for all people to be equal and for poor people to not be poor anymore".

We went on saying nice things about each other, our lovely staff and finished with the fun game of charades, where children were trying to impersonate some of our staff!

The Afterschool Club was filled with laughter and positive and kind words about both children and the adults working in the school.
