  Wed 24 Apr 2019 Mrs Morton

  Today some of the School Councillors went to purchase some equipment for our new Play Leaders from a variety of shops.

  We purchased games such as swing ball as well as board games, jigsaw puzzles and colouring activities. The children behaved impeccably and were a credit to the school.

  We can't wait for the play leaders to start their new roles making our playground and even more exciting place to spend lunchtimes!

  

• Easter Bonnet Parades

  Fri 05 Apr 2019 Mr Pegram

  Today we were amazed once more by the creativity of our children and their families at our annual Easter Bonnet celebrations. The Key-Stage Two hall was packed for three fabulous parades.

  The Foundation Stage children wowed their audience with an outstanding Easter song whilst Key Stage One and Key Stage Two pupils impressed with their home-made or school-made creations.

  Winners were chosen and every child was given a small gift to celebrate Easter. Special thanks must go to Miss Robbins who organised the prizes for the Easter Bonnet Parades and to the local Co-Op and Tescos who generously donated Easter prizes to our school. Below our some pictures from the parades . Have a great Easter!

• 2F go to the local library for their Act of Kindness

  Thu 04 Apr 2019 Miss Smith

  On Thursday 4th April, 2F took a trip to the local Southglade library.

   

  'As our act of kindness this half term we wrote letters to unexpected readers to brighten their day. We went to the Southglade Park Library and posted them in random books in the library for people to receive and read. The people in the library were so pleased to see us and even asked for letters in their own books.'

   

  2F really enjoyed their Act of Kindness: 'I loved writing a letter to make someone feel happy. My mum would be happy if she got a letter.'

   

  We wait to see if anyone gets in touch with us to let us know if they received their random act of kindess.

  

• Year 6 Litter Pick at Sandybanks

  Fri 29 Mar 2019 Mr Pegram
  Our learning value this half-term is kindness. This includes kindness towards our local environment. Therefore, year 6 went on a litter pick to Sandybanks Nature Reserve to help with tidying the local environment. The children enthusiastically spent about 30 minutes picking up a wide range of litter. Well done!

  

• Enrichment at Southglade Primary School

  Thu 28 Mar 2019 Mr Pegram

  At Southglade Primary School we place great value on taking our children on enriching visits out into the local community and further afield.

  During this academic year we have taken our children on:

  • 20 educational visits of which 3 were residentials involving overnight supervision
  • 20 sports tournaments- we are one of the top 5 schools when it comes to participating in sports tournaments and this contributed to being awarded the gold standard for sports last year.

   

  This number will further grow as the Summer Term progresses.

• Year 6 Theatre Visit

  Thu 28 Mar 2019 Mr Pegram/ Mrs Smith/ Mr Shuttleworth

  On Thursday 28th March, Year 6 were fortunate to be able to visit the Nottingham Playhouse to watch the play 'Skellig' by David Almond. This is the book that we have been studying during the Spring Term so it was an unmissable opportunity to watch a live theatre show of a book that we have all enjoyed greatly- a book that has many magical moments.

  6S and 6PS behaved impeccably and were completely engaged throughout with the show- it was a pleasure to enjoy such an experience with them.

  Visit our year 6 blog for more information and pictures of the experience.

• Attendance Information- week ending 22nd March 2019

  Mon 25 Mar 2019 Mr Pegram

  For the week ending 22nd of March, our whole school attendance was 96.1%.

  The class with the highest attendance was the fabulous 1B with 98.7% and they will be taking our attendance bear home with them this week.

   

  Other classes above 98% were 5MH and 6PS who both won a spin on the attendance wheel of fortune.

   

  The attendance for the entire school year is still 96.7% which is our highest attendance at this stage of a school year. Keep up the brilliant work.

• Italy afternoon- Friday 22nd March

  Sun 24 Mar 2019 Mr Pegram

  On Friday 22nd of March we enjoyed our first international afternoon with a theme of Italy. At lunchtime, our wonderful catering team- led by Tia- created a fabulous Italian themed meal including lasagne and meatballs- they were also dressed in the Italian colours of red, white and  green.

  Following lunchtime- in the afternoon session- children participated in a range of themed activities linked to the country of Italy.

  These activities included:

  • making simple Margherita pizzas
  • art under tables linked to the Sistine Chapel
  • learning key words and Italian phrases
  • research about the country of Italy and creating information posters
  • making necklaces from dried pasta
  • Italian colouring sheets

   

  The children really enjoyed themselves. I would like to say a huge thank-you to Mrs Della Rocca who organised the afternoon and even dressed for the occasion in her Italian football kit!

   

  Coming next: Poland afternoon on May 24th and an international day modern foreign languages day on the 20th June.
