• Fundraising Update- Nottingham Children's Hospital

  Sun 24 Mar 2019 Mr Pegram
  A HUGE well done to all the staff and parents who helped to raise an amazing £540.03 for Nottingham Children's Hospital. This was raised through a charity 5k run, which was enjoyed/ endured by some fabulous staff members at Southglade Primary School and generous donations from our school community following our Christmas plays back in December. Once more a HUGE well done- this effort represents the values we try and instil in our children at Southglade Primary School.

• Former Pupil and Author Dylan Wardle Visits School

  Wed 20 Mar 2019 Mr Pegram

  Dylan Wardle, a former Southglade pupil, visited our school today to talk about life as an author. He has written and published his own book entitled: words of solitude.

  Dylan has wanted to be a writer since the age of 5 and through hard-work and dedication he has achieved his aim.

  Dylan came into our ks2 assembly today to talk about how he achieved his goals and to also inspire our children that they too can achieve their ambitions through dedication and perseverance.

  He also brought in his literacy award that he received in the 2008-9 academic year when his teacher was Mrs Hyland- it was Mrs Hyland's assembly today and it was Mrs Hyland who had nominated Dylan for this award a decade ago.

  Thank-you Dylan: we are all so proud of you and everything you have achieved.

  Today, our Year 5 and Year 6 school councillors went to the Primary Parliament event at the Council House. They had to create a garden plan to encourage schools to grow their own food and to be sustainable and to limit the amount of waste that is thrown away.

• Year 5 Bikeability

  Wed 06 Mar 2019 Katelyn Year 5

  Year 5 have been taking part in a cycling safety scheme known as bikeability. On the first morning, we all went to meet the bikeability people who were called Michael and Paul. We then went out and got our bikes or used a Nottingham City Council bike to use safely on the streets. We had to do the ABCD check (air, breaks, chain, drop) to ensure that our bikes were safe and roadworthy. Following this, we had to ride our bikes on the road- it was really fun. We had to ride in the primary position (the middle of the lane) so that the cars behind us knew we were there and couldn't overtake us. We learnt how to ride with one hand on both sides. We had to learn this so that we could indicate  to cars behind us that we were turning. Moreover, we also learnt to do a U-turn incase we were going in the wrong direction.

  It was fun and exciting and I would definitely do something like it again and I would recommend children at Southglade Primary School do it at school in the future,
