Anthony Walker Foundation , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 18th Jan 2017 @ 8:12pm
Tom, from the Anthony Walker Foundation, came to school today. He delivered a whole school assembly on differences and how we should view difference as a chance to learn. He worked with three year groups: year two, year five and year six.
The workshops in year five and six were thought-provoking and emotive. He taught the children that all our thoughts and actions should be grounded in love, respect and equality. Please ask your child about the workshops. Thank you Tom and to Mrs Platt for organising the morning.
Fantastic first week back! , by Mrs Kellett

We had a fantastic start to 2017. It was a real pleasure to walk around our school and see all the exciting things going on this week. We had samba, ukulele, songwriting linked to musicals and lots and lots of Art. The children have absolutely loved it. It ended on Friday with our own art exhibition in the hall. It was so well attended- thank you. I had lots of positive comments from parents. It was a great way to showcase the children's work.
Another fantastic day at QP, by Mrs Kellett

I went for a little wander today and was totally overwhelmed by the wonderful things happening across the school.

The year five corridor was a hub of activity. Both class were experimenting with paint and printing on material. What a wonderful day!

Christmas Stories read by our Governors. , by Mrs Kellett

Today, four of our Governors came into school to read our children a Christmas story. Mrs Glover went to Reception and they loved hearing all about 'Ollie-the Christmas Reindeer'. Mr Thomas visited P5 and Q1. Q1 loved the Polar Express and P5 couldn't wait to read another chapter of their book 'Christmasaurus'. Mr Quinn, our Chair of Governors, loved reading about Christmas poo with P1. Rev Peter couldn't make it but his wife Bridget loved reading to year two. Thank you for giving up your time to expose our children to even more stories.

Switch Off Fortnight , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 14th Nov 2016 @ 10:30pm
Our worship was led this morning by our Eco Council. They explained to all the children how we can conserve energy by switching different things off. We all learned about the 'standby' button on most electrical items and how this means it is still using electricity - thank you for teaching me this. We were shocked and surprised to hear that we could save up to £80 a year on our bills if we just switch off. Over the next two week, the Eco council will be focusing on conserving energy. I have spotted some handy stickers around school (and on my computer) to help remind us to turn things off when they are not in use. Well done to the Eco Council.

Monday's worship - the Tower of Babel , by Mrs Kellett

Today we listened to the story from Genesis called the Tower of Babel. This story explored how we all need to have a common language and understanding to get along and get the job done! It introduced our work on 'European Day of Languages' really well.
The children sang two songs really well - with actions too! I have attached the powerpoint. Download it and ask your child to teach you the actions. They are really good at it!

Today, we started our week looking at trust in our worship.

I told the story about Blondin - the tightrope walker! It really opened up discussion and reflection.
