Class 1 – Bird’s nest
Mrs Gentry kindly brought in a bird’s nest to share with the children. The children were amazed by it and decided to have a go at making their own using the hay we had in the classroom.
Butterflies
Class 1 have loved having caterpillars in the classroom. We have seen them get fatter like the Hungry Caterpillar and spin cocoons. We even got to see one of the butterflies emerging from the cocoon. It has been fantastic to experience the children’s excitement as they checked on them every day and observed the changes. Yesterday we said goodbye as we set them free.
Class 4 Assembly
Class 4 enjoyed performing three separate sketches about Victorian life this morning. They sang songs, played the recorders and delivered facts to the audience.
Sky Arts ‘Access All Arts’ Week
This week in school we are getting involved in Sky Arts ‘Access All Arts’ Week – a nationwide, week-long celebration of the arts, specially designed for primary schools. This year, the theme is Identity and pupils will be encouraged to use the arts to explore their own individuality and what makes each one of us unique.
In Class 3 we learnt a little about 2D mark making as a way of expressing our identity. We doodled to create an ‘All About Me’ illustration that represented our heritage, personality or interests. Then we used a photograph of ourselves to sketch our self-portraits.
We hope you enjoy viewing our sketches – some are not quite finished! Can you guess who is who?

Athletics Club
Today, athletics club warmed up by jogging for 3 minutes. After they practiced throwing before starting races in different ways.
Tennis
Class 4 pupils put there all in to playing tennis matches against other schools – only losing one match. Well done!
Thank you Grantham Tennis Club for another super event.
Ice-Cream
After lunch today we all enjoyed a delicious ice cream, that helped cool us down, before going out to play. A big thumbs up from all of us for the delicious treat!!
Ahoy! Class 3 Assembly
Class 3 gave a fantastic performance in their Explorer themed assembly this morning. They did themselves proud! Their ideas for what to include, how to act and props that were needed were excellent. Special thanks to Joshua for all his suggestions (too many to mention!); to Stephen for making the prototype for the buckles as worn on the shoes of Captain Cook & the First Officers, and to Mrs Sellars for carrying out the role of Costume Fitter with ease and expertise!

Well done to you all – remember to carry your message with you as you travel through life …. Be strong and persevere with any challenges you face!
Thank you, Mrs Gentry
