Champion!
Congratulations to our pupil who competed in the European Karate championships in Lichtenstein during the summer holidays. 2 silver medals and one gold allows him to now participate in the world event in India next year. Very impressive!
Home learning
Year 5’s homework related to their ‘Stargazers’ topic is fantastic! The level of detail within their rocket models is superb and there are some extremely creative examples on show, using a variety of different materials.
Times tables
We had a new record in Year 6 today for completing 100 calculations related to times tables facts (multiplication and division): 1 minute 55 seconds!
Air museum
Two of our Year Three classes took a trip today to the Bournemouth Aviation Museum. As well as taking in a wide variety of aircraft, the children also received a wave from an active pilot taxiing at Bournemouth airport! Mighty metals indeed!
House Captains
Stewart House had their own assembly this morning. As well as discussing how the best teams function, the House voted in their new House Captains. The children who put themselves forward for the role provided excellent speeches, one of which included the line ‘I can be your voice’. All participants also effectively balanced humour with the seriousness of the responsibility. To quote one of the winners:
‘With me as your captain, I will make sure that the other houses know who is boss!’
Stargazers
Year 5 had an out of this world WOW day today for their Stargazers topic. As well as considering whether aliens exist or not, the pupils also created their own planets…
Reading totals
This week’s reading totals were incredible across the school! Congratulations to 5AP who won the reading trophy this week and to Year 6 who averaged over 110 reads per class.
‘If you read, you succeed!’
Sailing
The Year 6 sailors took the waters at Rockley Park again yesterday. They are now able to independently charter the waters and demonstrated outstanding inter-dependence throughout.
