World Book day
Thu 03 Mar 2022A wonderful week promoting a love of reading has been had by all in school this week.
A big thank you everyone for your generosity shown towards our book fair and for your continued support of reading at home.
All children had the opportunity to visit our book fair and many lovely books were purchased along the way. We have made a massive £600.00 this year and this money will be well spent buying more books for school so we can continue promoting our whole school love of reading vision.
EYFS & Year 1/2
The children in EYFS and Key Stage 1 have all thoroughly enjoyed their ‘Book Tasting’ experience. They spent quality time enjoying looking at a range of books, sharing their favourite books and stories with their peers and enjoying listening to a range of stories and poems in their classes.
The children were so excited and enthusiastic about sharing their books and having the opportunity to look at a new selection of texts.
Year 3/4
Stunning Starfish and Super Seahorses spent the afternoon ‘tasting’ books, with a taster menu of different reading materials. They sampled Fiction, Where in the World?, Magazines, Famous People, poetry and Artists. The children really enjoyed looking at the range of books (all from our school library) and magazines, and then also enjoyed reading their own favourite books from home.
Their enthusiasm was fabulous to witness!
Year 5/6
Perfect Penguins, Tremendous Turtles and Successful Seals also had a lovely afternoon sampling a taste of different books. We had ‘our suggestions’ with books the children bought in from home, artists, inspirational people, history, geography, science, newspapers and poetry. Table clothes and tea lights set the scene, with some calm music in our book café. The children really enjoyed ten minutes of silent reading, just enjoying the pleasure of reading, with many wanting to carry on! We finished the afternoon with some music and a few minutes enjoying our class book. A wonderful book day to finish off enjoying our trips to the book fair and the school library.

Book Fair 2022
Thu 10 Feb 2022We will have a book fair in school from the 1st March until the 3rd March. Due to hall space, numbers and COVD risks, children will be able to purchase books during school time only. Class teachers will supervise the children and take payment on the day they choose their book(s). If the book they would like is not in stock, we will take payment and put in an order on their behalf through school.
Timings for classes to visit the book fair are as follows:
- Tuesday 1st March: Mrs Smurthwaite (EYFS), Mrs Jones (EYFS), Mrs Driscoll/Mrs Coope (Year 1) and Miss Davis (year 2)
- Wednesday 2nd March: Mrs Hamlin (year 3/4), Mrs Z-B/Mrs Deegan (year 3/4) and Miss Hollett (Year 5)
- Thursday 3rd: Mrs North (year 5/6) and Mrs Jenkins (year 6)
If you wish for your child to purchase a book from the book fair, please put money in an envelope with your child's name and class on the front and bring it to school in their bags on their allocated day.

Friday celebrations
Fri 04 Feb 2022Our children have had a wonderful week, fully immersing themselves into our explore curriculum, learning new Geographical skills and knowledge through arts, music, storytelling and film.
Our youngest children have travelled all the way to Japan, Y1/2 down under to Australia, Y3/4 to the Amazon and Y5/6 journeyed west to North America. It’s no wonder we’re all so tired after our travels.
Today in our celebration assembly many children were recognised for their excellent geographical knowledge, learning and knowledge work.
Laci-Ann, Casey and Lola said, “We have had a different, exciting week. It’s definitely something we’d like to do again. It was fun to create structures including making the Northern Lights, Mount Rushmore, the White House, the wind and tornadoes in art.”
“I enjoyed making the culture – like the Statue of Liberty and New York City from Lego,” commented Albert.
“Our producer was really friendly helped and supported us; he encouraged me to try something different,” said Seb.
We are also very proud of our Y2 dodgeball team who came second out of ten teams in a competition at Belper Leisure Centre on Monday. Thank you to all for your excellent sportsmanship.
Huge congratulations to Quinn, who is the first of our mini leaders to compete the first 10 hours of the sports leadership course. All our Y5/6 leaders are making a huge difference on our playground.
Wishing you a great weekend.
