• Mr Martin's Manor Mile

  Fri 20 Mar 2015

  Today, as the sky darkened during the solar eclipse, the children of Upton Infant School each ran a mile around 'the rec' to help Mr Martin, one of our lunchtime supervisors, raise money for Forest Holme Hospice. The fastest finishing children in each year group will go on to represent the school in the 'Manor Mile' cross country competition.

   

  Mr Martin will also be running the London Marathon in a few weeks time to raise money for this very worthwhile cause. 

   

• Science Day

• Are you smarter than a five year old?

  Wed 18 Mar 2015

  We were pleased to welcome many of our parents into school on Tuesday evening to find out how children learn mathematics at Upton Infant School. Parents tried out a range of strategies for themselves to solve a variety of calculations. They also pitted their wits against the children and took part in an 'Are you smarter than a 5 year old?' quiz, which highlighted the expectations we have of the pupils throughout the school.

   

  We will shortly be sending home a guide for all parents which will explain the strategies taught at school.

   

   

  

• Urn 'n' Learn

  Fri 13 Mar 2015
  Last Friday we were happy to welcome lots of parents into school to watch the childrens' learning and to have a cup of tea or coffee. The children raised money for Comic Relief at the same time by wearing non-uniform and making a donation. Many thanks to all of you that were able to attend - we were delighted to welcome so many of you into school.

  

• World Book Day

  Sat 07 Mar 2015

  Upton Infant School celebrated World Book Day in style today, with all children and staff dressed up as their favourite book character - some very inventive costumes were on display.

   

  The children took part in a range of activities based around books - take a look at the photos at the bottom of the page to see for yourself.

   

  Some of the Year One children even created their own story based around the characters they had come dressed as - watch the video below to find out more.

   

   

  Whatever your favourite book character, you are sure to see them in the video below:
