Well done to our achievement award winners today for their effort, hard work and progress in English over the past week. Well done also to Luna for all her efforts at school since the beginning of September. For this she received the Headteacher's Award.
A purposeful writing environment in Team Endeavour today. Children were giving thoughtful and heart-felt advice to poor Bertie, who was most aggrieved that Mum and Dad were arguing over whether he could keep his white lion cub as a pet!
The above film, gives a flavour of our school ethos and the many wonderful opportunities on offer for our pupils.

This afternoon our year 5 and 6 classes experienced a PE lesson with a difference.
Mr Whiteman with the help of Mrs Fox and some year 6 helpers created an exciting Triathlon course, complete with bike/scooter circuit and running track. Unfortunately, they didn’t quite have enough time to build and fill a real swimming pool, so a pretend pool had to be constructed.
Well done to all the children who took part, you all made a terrific effort to complete the course.
Team Endeavour have been very busy this week. Yesterday in Maths, they were able to use scaling to create their own cake recipes, then followed instructions to bake some delicious treats. Today, after calculating their costs and possible profits, the bake sale began. Great job everyone!
All the children of upper school are really excited at the launch of the Radio 2 500 Words competition 2018. We will be working over the next few weeks to write an entry of our own! The children got involved in the BBC Live Lesson which launched the competition, came up with loads of amazing story ideas and got some superb story writing tips from Charlie Higson and Frank Cottrell Boyce.
Comment below with your story ideas to help get your classmates' creative juices flowing!
A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in Team Endeavour today. Children participated in a rich discussion about some of the causes of World War Two and asked many challenging questions.
