This week, the Rights Respecting Champions and members of our Breakfast Club have been working together to broaden our breakfast menu, by adding some new healthy options. They created a questionnaire to find out which foods breakfast club members would like to try. Using their pupil voice, they then discussed the outcomes with the breakfast club staff and today everyone enjoyed scrambled egg and beans on toast!

Class 1 had lots of fun working with Papi, we have been working hard this half term to remember how to say ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ in French as well as how to say ‘mam’ and ‘dad’. We did some fantastic role play for greetings and even learned a new little rhyme that we can sing each morning 🙂
A big thank you to our governor Papi for taking the time to come into class to teach us French phrases. In class 2 we are very good at saying ‘Je m’appelle’. Thank you again Papi 😊
We had a lovely visitor for our French lesson this week. Papi was kind enough to come in and teach us all of the French colours. She was so impressed with how class 3 listened and learned the colours. It was an amazing experience for class 3!
In Class 4, we had lots of fun with French picture and word flashcards. Merci Papi.
This half term we have tried hard to read at home at least once a week. Each week we receive a leaf to add to our class beanstalk if we remember! Mrs Aspinall and Mrs Hindmarch promised a chocolate fountain treat if we could reach 60 leaves before half term. Well today we smashed our target and managed 61 leaves a week before our deadline! We were super excited to sample the chocolate fountain 🍫 yummy 😋
If pizza is always your go-to favorite food, your day is finally here; 9th February, is National Pizza Day and to celebrate this we made our own pizzas from scratch! Mrs Morton was sooo happy as pizza is her favourite 🤩
We looked at where in the world Pizza was first invented and found out it was in Naples, Italy!
We also found out that to make the dough rise you need a living thing, called good bacteria, to make the dough grow!
Our favourite part was adding our favourite toppings to the pizza bases …. not forgetting eating them after they were cooked! Mmmmmm delicious 😋🍕👩🍳🇮🇹

We had a fantastic afternoon celebrating and promoting Schools Football week on Wednesday 9th February.
Earlier in the week the Sports Leaders introduced this week with a whole school assembly. They then held an afternoon of football fun with Mr Beveridge.
Each class had a football task to complete and score points towards their teams total. Sports Leaders kept score and gave our certificates of achievement!
We were pleased to announce the winning team was yellow who then had a go at beating the teachers!
We all had a great afternoon!

Today in school we had our very own Internet Safety coffee morning! We ate biscuits, drank juice and did a carousel of activities about staying safe online. We each took turns in our classes to come into the hall and take part in the activities – we also had bulletin boards about staying safe online that we each created in our teams!
