School Life

In celebration of National Poetry Week, we have used our English lessons to explore poetry and learn our own class poem with the theme of ‘Counting’ . Yesterday, every class took to the stage to perform their poem in front of their phase and a panel of judges. The confidence we saw from our newest children in year 3 right through to our more experienced performers in year 6 was incredible. Well done to all our winners who took a trophy back to class but everyone should feel so proud of their achievements!

🎄🎅 Get ready to kick off the Christmas festivities with our Family Santa Dash! Join us for a fun-filled morning featuring a 5km run and/or a 1.5km walk—perfect for all ages and abilities. Bring your family and friends to spread the holiday cheer! Early bird tickets are available until 31 October 2024, so grab yours now! The run/walk will start in Auriol Park and finish in the Auriol Junior School Field. Runners should arrive at 9 am to start promptly at 9:30am. Those doing the family walk will start soon after at 10am. You will be given a Santa’s hat before the race and a medal when finishing. Enjoy hot food and drinks throughout the event to keep the festive spirit alive. We can’t wait to see you there! 🎉✨

In year 3, one of our first activities was to read the book “The Dot” by Peter Reynolds. We learned the importance of just being brave, having a go and seeing where your efforts take you. The children showed their individuality by creating their own dot for our corridor display. All of our year 3 children are finding their feet and growing in confidence - we could not be more proud. Just look at some of their writing already!
