I just wanted to say thank you to eveyone for your support for our Christmas Fair on Friday. It was a fantastic event organised fully by our PTFA.

Christmas Tree Festival , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 2nd Dec 2015 @ 9:56pm
Today was the start of the Christmas Tree Festival at the U.R.C. in town. I went with four of our Ethos Council to set up our tree. The children had made decorations that represented our school. All the decorations represented our school values of love, hope, respect, honesty and forgiveness. The children did it all themselves. They worked as a team to solve the problem of erecting the tree and then decorated it beautifully. On Sunday at 10:30, our Ethos Council will be attending the church service celebrating the tree festival. You are more than welcome to join us.

It was pure magic today at Queen's Park. The children are SO excited by our new topic in Literacy - Elf on the Shelf.

Very exciting....it was an absotute delight to see the children's faces and it certainly reminded me why I love my job!

Whole school Worship , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 26th Nov 2015 @ 10:43pm
Our worship today was all about Nehemiah from the Old Testament. We learned all about menders and makers or benders and breakers. The story helped the children to understand that we all have the ability to make things and be creative. Nehemiah showed courage and determination to complete his task of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and we talked about with a little effort, we can achieve almost anything.
The children as usual sang beautifully

Remembrance Service , by Mrs Kellett
Date: 16th Nov 2015 @ 9:57pm
Last week,on Remembrance Day, we held our own service in our school hall. Mrs Hutchens led our service. Mrs Hutchens is one of our TAs who spent some time in the miltary in the past. She told the children all about being in the army and how she had lost friends in conflict. She really helped the children learn about the importance of remembering.
The whole school observed 2 minutes silence, while our talented Mr Westhead played the 'Last Post' on the trumpet. It was a lovely service and the children were really mature, thoughtful and realised the importance of remembering all the people who have lost their lives in conflict.

Harvest Worship, by Mrs Kellett

Every day in school we have worship together but today it was very different. Today worship was led by our Ethos Council. They chose the songs, the prayers and the bible reading. It is so scary to get up and talk in front of 396 children and all our staff. I am extremely proud of them all.

Today, we had a visitor in school. His name was Mr Edge. We spent the morning going in and out of classes looking at teaching and learning.

Date: 7th Oct 2015 @ 10:44pm
In today's worship we looked at the 10 Commandments and the guidance God gaves us to live by. We then looked at our school rules and how we treat each other in school. I showed the children a 'blob' picture of lots of different scenarios and how it made them feel. We also spoke about how we use our hands and voices for kindness.
The children are also learning to sing 'Sing' by Gary Barlow! They sound amazing.

Today was the first day of our transition week. It is the first time we have organised transition this way and it got off to a great start. Most children went to the correct entrance (well done everyone). I had a walk around school this afternoon and there was a great atmosphere. All the children seemed settled and ready for the next year group. Well done Miss Glover and Miss McCormack on completing their first day at Queen's Park.

Police Visit Y5, by Mrs Kellett
Date: 2nd Jul 2015 @ 7:59pm
On Thursday, we were visited by the Community Police to talk to the children all about keeping themselve safe around the community and on the internet. I was amazed by how much the children knew about the internet and it really made me aware of how vulnerable our children are in the new world of technology. Please keep tabs on your child's use of the internet. It is so important!
