Sports Day Success, by Miss Watson
Date: 2nd Jul 2019 @ 3:42pm
We held our Sports Day on Tuesday 2nd July. Just like last year, the morning involved children working in mixed age teams to complete a series of eight skill challenges. The skill challenges included shooting goals in both football and netball; discus, shotput and javelin throwing; long jump, hurdles and shuttle run. Children have been practising these skills during their P.E. lessons with Mr. Harris this half-term. All children earned team points during each activity.
In the afternoon, children were involved in a series of traditional races - sprinting, balancing quoits, relay and finally a lap (or two for Year 5 and Year 6!) round our track. The first four winners of each race won points for their teams.
When all the team points had been totalled, Mr. Harris informed everyone of the final result! Congratulations to Hutton who won the Sports Day Cup once again!
Many thanks to
- Mrs. Gavriluk and Mr. Harris for planning and organising this successful sports day
- All the parent volunteers and staff who supervised the different activities
- P.T.A. ladies for providing refreshments
- All those parents and other family members who joined us to enjoy our sports day
- All our children for showing us their best sporting performance - you were BRILLIANT!
- A special thank you and well done to all the Year 6 team leaders who did a FAB job managing their teams

Class 2's Chick Visitors, by Mr McGurk
Date: 9th May 2019 @ 7:59pm
To help us understand animal life cycles Class 2 have been very lucky to have some very new visitors.
Thomas Hizzard's family brought in an incubator with a small clutch of eggs for us to watch and observe.
It was very exciting and we were very lucky to have 9 chicks hatch in our classroom. We even got to see some of the chicks push their way out of their shells and chip their way out withtheir egg tooth. We learned to identify some of the breeds such as White Wine Dots, Rhode Island Reds and Pekins. One of the most exciting moments was when we discovered that 'Batchick', who is a black chick, is an unknown breed and we are still hoping to find out more. We have researched the life cycles of chicks and hens and look out for some of our writing appearing soon.
What a brilliant experience.

Christingle Fun!, by Miss Watson
Date: 9th Dec 2018 @ 11:58am
On Friday morning Father Robin set us a challenging task - to create 150 Christingles ready for this Sunday's Christingle Service! Father Robin explained how to make a Christingle then we got to work. Reverend Emma and some parent volunteers were on hand to help out in the Learning Lab. Class 3 learnt how to make a Christingle first then they worked together with the younger children in Class 1 and Class 2. The children supported each other really well. When Class 4 had their turn, they really had to speed up Christingle production in order to meet Father Robin's 150 Christingle target before lunchtime! Job done!
You can find out more about Christingle at
We hope everyone enjoys the Joint Anglican and Christingle Service on Sunday 9th December at 4p.m. in St. Oswald's Church.
