Headteacher Awards

Every week, all members of staff are asked to nominate children who have been spotted being responsible, respectful and ready. The code of conduct certificates are always varied and demonstrate the range of places and ways that children demonstrate these values.

Be Responsible

Well done to the children who have been responsible this week.

A child in Year 4 has been extremely helpful at lunch times.

Sophie (Yr6) noticed when there was a spillage and ensured it was wiped, keeping everyone safe.

Mason and Tyler (Yr5) both reported a problem in the sink, so it would be dealt with efficiently.

Jessica (Yr3) for making sure our playground was clean and tidy by putting litter in the bin that wasn't hers.

Teddie (Yr4) for taking great responsibility and pride in her work and presentation.

Be Respectful

Well done to the children who have been respectful this week.

Eliza (Yr3) is always there to lend a hand to other members of the class or adults and makes sure she shows her respect to her classroom by tidying up without a fuss.

Be Ready

Well done to the children who have been ready this week.

A child in Year 2 has been noticed for being so keen and ready to learn this week. Well done.

Seed Germination

In Y2 we have been busy germinating seeds as part of our Plant Survival topic. We were very surprised to find these beans were growing roots even though they weren't in any soil! Next we are going to investigate what they will need to help them grow and survive.
