We have been learning all about the upcoming general election, in both assemblies and in class. We discussed what a general election was and why it is important. We decided to have our very own election, in our coloured teams. Each team has proposed an idea for a treat on Monday. The team captains worked hard to create posters and stood in front of everyone in assembly to propose their team’s ideas. We had some amazing speeches that were very persuasive. On Thursday, each child will vote for the team they would like to win and the winning team will choose our treat! We are looking forward to seeing who the winning team are.
Our winners of the election are…. Red Team!!! Red teams choice of treat was a movie afternoon, which we will all enjoy on Monday!
Today we enjoyed listening to a story from the bible with Reverend Caroline and Emily. We listening carefully and reflected upon what the story means to us.

Today the children had a fantastic day, taking part in an art workshop with Kate Mason. Kate is a local artist who inspired lots of the children with her incredible story. The children had the opportunity to each create a powertex tile which all looked fantastic. The children learnt lots of new skills as well as learning more about art as a career. This was a brilliant opportunity for all of the children and they all had lots of fun!
We had a lovely afternoon taking part in a range of sporting activities to gather points for our teams. We all took part in a race and earned much valued points. Mrs Peverely and June kindly kept the score. Our amazing Sports Leaders, along with Mr Beveridge, made sure the afternoon ran smoothly and all equipment was ready for each activity.
A massive well done to each and every child, you were all amazing! A special well done to the children who achieved Sainsburys Values awards, awarded by our Sports Leaders.
And finally congratulations to the winning team and 2024 champions …. BLUE TEAM!
