Thoughts for Thursday
Every Thursday, we visit our whole school reflection area to discuss our ‘Thoughts for Thursday’.
Each week, there’s a big question for us to think about, reflect on and discuss. This week, our big question is ‘Can kindness change the world?’
Here are some of our responses:
“Kindness can change the world because there would be peace and no more fighting or war. On the other hand, nobody would be themselves and it would be strange.” Y6
“Kindness can change the world because there would be peace and harmony. But, it would be hard to stay kind at someone who is being rude to you.” Y6
“Kindness can change the world by stopping wars, fighting and conflict.” Y5

Easter Service
Thank you to all of the parents and carers who joined to support our Easter service today. It was lovely to see so many of you on zoom.
For those who were unable to join, here is a recording of our service.
Well done to all those children who took part and for all the wonderful singing that was heard around school.
Let’s rock for Red Nose Day!
Hello to all of you Times Tables Rock Stars,
This Friday is Red Nose Day and the people at TTRS have come up with a great challenge to raise some extra money for Comic Relief.
Prices for a new nose start at 50,000 coins so we’d best get saving.
We’ve got until Friday – Red Nose Day. Let’s do our bit to help the nation reach that £5,000 target.
TTRS Tournament winners (wb 08 March)
Our first week back at school has seen a very close race for the title!
All week, the lead has changed hands but, in the end, there can only be one winner!
The TTRS tournament winner this week is… (DRUM ROLL)…
It’s Year 5! That’s the second win in a row! Year 3,4 were a very close second.
Will Year 5 get a third win in a row? Will Year 3,4 go one further to take the victory? Or perhaps, Year 6 will come in and steal the show?
All the best, TTRS.
First week back!
What a great first week back it’s been! Everybody has enjoyed being back with their friends and all have been engaged in learning. It was fab to get outdoors and practise our tennis skills:
We’ve been choosing new books from the library with a bit of a difference! Lots of children decided to choose books which were wrapped up with just the first line of the book on show.
In Living and Learning, we read some quotes from the book ‘The boy, the mole, the fox’ by Charlie Mackesy. We reflected on our time during lockdown #3 and focused on the quote from the book, ‘After the storm….’ to look forward to things to come. Here are some of our hopes in a drawing similar to the drawings in the book:
Period product scheme
- have forgotten their products
- cannot afford products
- have started or come on their period unexpectedly

Hello again to all of the Times Tables Rock Stars out there,

Recording an average score of 110, the winning year group is year 5 by a clear mile – WOW!
Now that we’re back in school, there’ll be opportunities to play in class as well as at home. Give your teacher a nudge as the week goes on if you’ve not yet had a chance to play. If you’d like to play at home and would like a reminder of your login details, let your teacher know.
You could be in next week’s winning team.
