This week the children in Classes 1 and 2 have been getting to know their new crews and crew leaders. We have had great fun getting to know each other, trying different activities together and learning more about what it means to be a crew. We’ve also been learning the words and actions to our new crew song (to the tune of Jingle Bells):
We have had a wonderful week welcoming children into school. They have all settled so well and enjoyed exploring the classroom and getting to know their new friends and teachers. We are sure that this year is going to be a positive experience for them all and we are looking forward to creating lots of happy memories of our days together. Mrs Kendrew-Jones and Mrs Murray
A huge thank you to all of those families who attended our Norton by the Sea celebration of learning this afternoon.
Below is a link to a little video of the event.
We would really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill in this GoogleForm to give us a little bit of feedback to make it even better next time.
We would like to invite you to a celebration of learning for our Summer term expedition: What happens where the sea meets the shore?
Our Norton by the sea day will take place on Thursday 14th July. We would like to invite you to join us between 1.30pm and 3.20pm. During that time you and your child will be able to spend time with their friends and visit the hot dog, ice cream and sweet stalls. You can also take part in other activities such as face painting and bouncy castle fun for which there will be a small charge. We will also have paddling pools to splash in and you may even get chance to soak a teacher!
We have also been learning a couple of seaside themed songs to treat you with.
Please feel free to bring a picnic blanket, chairs or any snacks and soft drinks that you may wish to share with your friends and family.
We are looking forward to celebrating your child’s learning with you ☀️🏖
This morning the children in Reception are designing and making flags ready for their supporters to wave at sports day next week. We are excited to find out which Crew will be the winner.
We had the best start to our Friday! We had soft play in our hall! We climbed, jumped, rolled, balanced, built tall, knocked down, bounced and had the most fun ever!
Class Five have been making me laugh at lunch time this week with their jokes! They decided they wanted to make everyone else smile too so here is a little video of some of our favourites to make you all smile.
Tomorrow, Friday 27th May 2022, will you please send your child(ren) into school with a picnic blanket/mat for them to sit on outside whilst they have their lunch weather permitting. If we can’t sit outside the children will have an indoor picnic in the school Hall. Please put your child’s name on the blanket if possible so that we know who they belong to at the end of the day! Fingers crossed for a dry day!
Also, don’t forget your child can come to school wearing red, white and blue tomorrow too! ❤️🤍💙
Today we held our first ever Student Led Conferences – the children did a fantastic job sharing their learning and beautiful work, speaking about what they are proud of and what they need to work on to get even better.
It was brilliant to see the children articulating their learning so well with the help of their teachers.
It was lovely to wander around our school this morning and see all of the fantastic things happening in our crew sessions – we had children reflecting on their howls, sharing stories and talking about their feelings using our zones of regulation. What a way to start the day!
