• Rockin' Robin's Advent Trail

  Fri 27 Nov 2015

   

  On each school day in December, Rockin’ Robin will be ‘tweeting’ the location around school of his secret advent door. Behind the door will be a Christmas scene and a Christmas clue word. When all of the Christmas words are written in the puzzle grid below, it will spell out a secret message. All children who give a completed puzzle grid to their teacher will receive a special advent treat. Good Luck, but shh – keep it secret!

   

   

  

• Poetry Competition

  Tue 24 Nov 2015
  Three of our pupils recently took part in the finals of the Upton in Bloom Poetry Competition.  Mia Gridley, Ashton Bridgeman and Georgina Jalie had been selected as winners from the Infant School to compete against pupils from Upton Juniors and the Yarrells.  Despite being the youngest competitors all three of our representatives performed their poems with confidence and proudly showed off their decorated 'best' copy.  We all enjoyed the homemade cakes afterwards!

• Football Fever

  Thu 12 Nov 2015

  Our Year Two footballers have been busy in the last couple of weeks.  Each year we organise the Harbour Sports Shield competition which is a series of events to promote competitive sport for Year Two pupils across the local schools.  Last week we hosted the football element and six teams competed against each other.  All the children showed great determination and skill with the 'A' team finishing as Runners Up (narrowly losing 1-0 in the final) and the 'B' team finishing fifth overall.

   

  The quote of the day came from Ollie Blemings who was overheard, as he ran back to the halfway line after scoring his second goal of the match, saying "If I score one more goal I'm like Geoff Hurst in the 1966 World Cup final".  Being that the Year Two children have just been studying the 1960s this is cross-curricular learning in real life action!

   

  We have also had a joint training session and match with the Yarrells School and it is noticeable that the children are really developing their skills and positional sense.  Thank you to Mr Antell and Mr Cole for organising these activities.
