Housman Update

We’ve made it to the end of a very long and busy half term!  I have been particularly impressed at how hard Housman class have been working and how the children have risen to the new challenges of their new academic year.

This week, the children have been looking at time zones and climate zones in Geography.  The children used maps and keys to locate different climate and time zones. They enjoyed working out what time it would be in different countries.

We finished the week with our celebration assembly, presenting our Star Pupil awards.  This is always such a tricky decision as there are so many deserving children.  This term, Demi has earnt the Star Pupil award for always demonstrating impeccable behaviour, contributing to all her lessons and producing work that is always to the best of her ability. Well done Demi.

I hope you all have a wonderful, restful break and I look forward to hearing all about it when we are back.

Hockey Tournament

This week, a team of six year five children attended a hockey tournament at Maurice Chandler.  They played six matches against different schools in the local area.  The children worked incredibly as a team and were really supportive of each other.  They demonstrated exceptional skill and sportsmanship. I am very proud of their attitude and manners throughout the tournament.

The team finished first on the pitch they played on and fifth out of eight teams, overall. It was wonderful to see such talent in our school!  Well done to the children who took part and a big thank you to Gary for giving up his time to help and support us.
