Autism Awareness Week

Thank you to everyone who supported our recent Autism Awareness Week. Children shared experiences and made thoughtful contributions during activities designed to raise awareness of autism; in order for us all to develop our understanding and learn to support each other in school, at home and in the community.

Children created their own 'jigsaw piece' and proudly held it aloft to  celebrate difference  and recognise the diversity of the people and families living with autism, before coming together to produce our own interpretation of the Autism Awareness Ribbon.

 

Easter Artwork

The children of Team Endurance have been working very hard today to create a piece of art inspired by a trip of ours to a local church. Whilst at St Clement's in Horsley, the children learned about the significance of Easter. I challenged them to get creative and to design and make a piece of art that represented the Easter story. As you can see, they really have excelled! Well done, Endurance!

Mini Leader Hoodies!

Our Year 6's could hardly contain their excitement today, as they received their brand new Mini Leader Hoodies!

A huge well done to all of our Mini Leaders, who have worked extremely hard this year and are continually showing such dedication in their roles and developing new, exciting games to try!

An enjoyable Easter experience

What a lovely morning for a walk! Team Endeavour were in good spirits this morning and made thoughtful and respectful contributions during our Easter activities at Horsley Church. Children listened well and were creative in sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. We were very lucky to meet some lovely people and enjoy refreshments too. 

 

Table Tennis Competition

Well done to the year 6 children who attended the Amber Valley School Sports Partnership Table Tennis Competition. All the children played brilliantly, showing excellent determination and sportsmanship throughout the competition. Overall the children came second just behind our Embark partners Richardson Endowed Primary School. Well done to all!

Into Orbit Competition Video

A huge thank you to Mr Walters for putting together a video of our time at the First Lego League competition at the Institute of Science and Engineering at Nottingham University. This video really captures the excitement of the day and just how engaged the children were with this huge challenge. Can't wait for next year! 

 

 

 

First Lego League Into Orbit Project

Many thanks to all the staff and volunteers at the University of Nottingham's Engineering and Science Learning Centre for hosting the First Lego League's 2018 competition. This is an international competition designed to promote STEM skills in children of all ages who design, build and program robots to perform missions and solve problems. Our pupils performed amazingly in all rounds of the competition coming SECOND overall, losing by only 2 points to a fabulous team from Selston High School. What an achievement! Well done, children, and many thanks to Mr Walters for devoting so much time to the project both in school and at home.
