• Library Update- HUGE THANK-YOU

  Wed 12 Jun 2019 Mr Pegram

  WOW! We were all totally blown away by the efforts of our whole school community to raise money for our new library. We set a target of £2000 for the library- amazingly we beat that target by over £1000. Mrs Smith will soon be ordering new furniture to ensure that our children have the fabulous library that they deserve ready for the start of the new academic year.

  Further updates will be posted on the school website in the latest news section. Once more, a huge thank-you to everyone who raised money for the library.

• School Council Assembly

  Mon 10 Jun 2019 Mrs Morton

  The School Council led an assembly to introduce Healthy Living Week. They helped to inform the rest of the school about the dangers of consuming too much sugar as well as the sugar content in a range of food and drinks. The whole school were set a challenge to be mindful about the amount of sugar they consume this week and to attempt to make sensible decisions in order to reduce this.

  It was a very interesting assembly and the children at Southglade are looking forward to finding out more about healthy living during the week.

Please look out for the dates for next year's coffee mornings.

• Amazing Poem Written About the Southglade Boat

  Thu 06 Jun 2019 Mr Pegram

  We were very excited to receive a poem from a member of the local community about the boat that children use to go to on magical adventures. A huge thank-you to Mrs Pearson who wrote this magnificent poem. We cannot wait to read this poem to all of the children in an assembly!

   

  The Magic Boat

  There's a boat in our playground

  Empty and still

  But when we climb aboard

  We get such a thrill

  We sail to faraway places

  With warm sunny beaches

  Tall palm trees

  And of course no teachers

  We play in the sun

  Having so much fun

  But all too soon a distant bell sounds

  Playtime is over

  Its time for us to sail back

  We've lessons to do

  And so much to learn

  But at playtime tomorrow we will return

  We'll set sail again

  Making so many memories

  That forever in our dreams

  They will remain.

• Play Leaders

  Wed 05 Jun 2019 Mrs Morton
  We have introduced Play Leaders to help make lunchtimes more fun for our children at Southglade.
  Play Leaders work in pairs to lead an activity on the playground. There are different activities each day ranging from: swing ball, throwing and catching games, skipping, hula-hoops, reading, colouring, jigsaw puzzles, dancing and a bubble station. We look forward to seeing the Play Leaders develop their leadership roles over the rest of the year.

  

• Championship Swimming Gala

  Wed 05 Jun 2019 Mrs Finnie

  Southglade Primary School took part in a swimming gala yesterday at Ken Martin Leisure Centre. A team of 6 boys and 8 girls took part and displayed outstanding effort, resilience and commitment in a wide series of races. The children were competing against schools from the whole of Nottingham City and did a brilliant job of showcasing their swimming ability. Our children had a great time taking part and everyone gave 100% in their individual races- some children even finished 1st in their individual races.

  We are so proud of you and the talent you showed: Southglade Primary School finished in 4th place overall which is a great effort considering this was a Nottingham City wide competition.

  Keep up the amazing effort.

• Year 6 bikeability

  Tue 04 Jun 2019 Mr Pegram

  Today a group of y6 children started their bikeability course with trained cycling instructors. Day 1 takes place on the playground with days 2-4 on local roads. All the children displayed a great attitude and followed the instructions carefully and conscientiously with excellent behaviour observed by all. The afternoon group were particularly resilient as the weather deteriorated.

  Keep up the good work.
