PE Days
Y2 PE is on Tuesday and Friday. Please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days.
We are ready….
We hope you have all enjoyed the summer break and that the children are looking forward to returning to school. The classroom has been refreshed and is ready for the children to begin their Year One learning.
Below is the timetable for the first half term (apologies for the blurriness). It may help to look at this with your child as it may help to ease any anxieties concerning the day to day routine.
Here are a few things to note:
- Mrs Freeman – class teacher – Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri
- Miss Gledhill – class teacher – Thursday
- Miss Cairnes and Miss Rigley – Teaching assistants
- PE – Tuesday and Friday mornings
- Library – Friday
Please ensure your child brings a water bottle to school every day and healthy snacks for playtime (if required).
During PE, the children are not permitted to wear earrings. Please can you ensure these have been removed prior to attending school on PE days.
The office will issue a milk list so that we are aware who can have it and also a medication update will be given to the Year 1 staff.
Homework and spellings will go home every Friday and the children will be tested on their spellings the following Friday.
The children will read daily in school and we encourage you to read with your child daily at home.
If you have any concerns or questions please either catch us at home time or make an appointment via the school office.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child into Year 1 on Tuesday 5th September at 8.45am.
What an amazing year!
I cannot believe we are at the end of the school year. What an amazing year we have had. I am so proud of everyone for their hard work and determination. I know that everyone will be fantastic in year 1.
I would like to say a big thank you to all parents/carers. You hard work at home has meant that everyone could flourish.
I would like to share the song we sang at church on Wednesday. I am sure you will agree that the children were amazing.
I will miss you all very much. Have a great summer!

Team bonding!
This morning, Years 2 and 3 (soon to be 3 and 4!!) joined together to complete a team challenge. This was to help them be ready to be in the same class together again next year.
Using their knowledge from our recent Design Technology topic, they had to plan, design and evaluate a tower made from spaghetti and marshmallows. It had to be a stable, strong structure.
Can we construct a moving go- kart?
This term, in design technology, we have designed and constructed car models.
We researched our model first and thought about what our go- kart would need to be successful. We then designed the model. This week, we created a ‘prototype’ using Tech- card.
Year 6 leavers’ dinner
We’ve had a lovely dinner this evening at Ask to celebrate our fabulous Year 6s. Great company, great food and lots of ice-cream!
Living and Learning – Being Healthy
Last week, Y5,6 enjoyed Being Healthy week.
We Zoomed another Y6 class and asked them qestions about being healthy in their school.
Some questions that were asked were:
- What is on your school menu?
- What after school clubs do you do?
- Do you have any green spaces in your playground?
We also talked about being healthy online, and how it can affect our physical, mental and social health.
Help at home by discussing how to stay happy and healthy at home.
Robin Hood And The Sherwood Hoodies
Wow! I’m sure everyone will agree that KS2 put on a fabulous performance of Robin Hood And The Sherwood Hoodies on Tuesday and Wednesday.
They have worked extremely hard by learning their lines, singing songs and making props.
There are some incredible young actors amongst us at St James’, and most of all, we had so much fun putting the performance together!
Living and Learning: Health Week
This week has been Health Week! We’ve thought about all the different choices we can make to stay happy and healthy.
We started the week with Mindfulness Monday. We did some yoga and listened to some calming music.
Throughout the week, we’ve also completed a series of personal best challenges. We’ve skipped, jumped, ran and balanced to see if we could beat our best from before!
We also had Sports Day! A huge well done to the children for their confidence and supportive team spirit they displayed.
We ended the week with a special visit from d:side. We learned all about the different organs inside of our body and how they keep us healthy.
Help at home: ask your child what they’ve learned this week, and make a healthy choice at home this weekend!
Sports Day!
A massive thank you to everyone who came and supported yesterday at Sports Day.
We kicked off in the morning with EYFS and then carried on with years 1-6 in the afternoon.
A huge well done to all the children who took part and showed courage, resilience and lots of determination. The signs made in the classes looked fantastic as well.
Congratulations to the blue team who scored the highest amount of points!!!
