• TT Rock Star day

  Mon 21 Oct 2019

  On Friday our school was full of rock stars - from every era of History - we had Elvis Presley, Cyndy Lauper and Meat Loaf all sitting in the same room!

  The aim of the day was to highlight the importance of learning our Times Tables through the medium of the computer game TT Rock Stars. Each class from Year 2 upwards had an in class battle, usually girls against boys. The younger children had a counting battle. There was a winner from each class and they received a Rock Hero T-shirt to keep.

  Mr Cutt and Mrs Johnson had a Tables competition in front of the whole school!

  The day was a resounding success, the children looked fabulous and more importantly - their Multiplication skills are improving rapidly.

  

• World Mental Health day

  Mon 14 Oct 2019

  We started World Mental Health Day off with a good old sing and dance session in assembly. It is a proven fact that singing and dancing releases "feel good" hormones in the body and we all felt much happier after the session.

  Back in our classrooms we talked about what Mental Health is and how we can keep feeling good about ourselves.

  In year 6 the children talked about what made them special and they ended the day with some "mindfulness" colouring whilst listening to soothing music.

  Stand Up Derbyshire day

  On Friday 27^th of September it was the day when active learning was taking place across the whole school. The day was begun with a whole school exercise/dance class in the hall. We then spent time in our classes taking part in activities such as drama, writing numbers in chalks on the playground, telling a whole story with actions and completing Maths challenges in groups around the hall. In fact, in one class, all the tables and chairs were completely removed.

  Of course every class also completed the Daily Mile on the field –(we managed to dodge the rain!)

  In our Well Done assembly at the end of the day the classes came together again and shared their activities. It was agreed that the day had been a huge success.
