Year 6 German Taster Morning
Thu 18 Jul 2019Danke schön to Mrs Emma Whittle and the Yr 10 boys from Dr Challoner’s Grammar School, who treated the Year 6 children to a morning of fun-filled games and activities as an introduction to German. It was a lovely, inspirational MFL ending to their four-year CSPA journey and we hope that as a result of this morning’s Taster German Session, some of our children might feel inspired to consider German as an option in their secondary schools. The Goethe Institute kindly donated an array of prizes for pupils to enjoy.
Community of local schools working together
Support for our year 6 children in their MFL learning
Preparing them to embrace the importance of learning foreign languages as global citizens of the future
Achieving through games and fun activities
We are very grateful to Mrs Whittle for taking time out of her very busy schedule to prepare the boys, and to the boys themselves from DCGS for being such wonderful MFL ambassadors!

Year 6 Church Retreat Day
Mon 15 Jul 2019On the morning of Monday 15th July, Year 6 enjoyed one of their special leavers' events and walked to our local St Peter's Church to participate in a range of activities. They reflected on the past years at our school and looked ahead to their future in Year 7. Pupils worked with church leaders and volunteers to create two original songs about secondary school. They also collaborated in teams to protect eggs which were then dropped from the church spire. We're lucky to have such close links with our village and church community, so would like to extend our thanks to the volunteers who supported our pupils in their reflections and creativity.

Y6 - Zoolab
Tue 09 Jul 2019On Tuesday 9th of July, Year 6 had a thrilling morning meeting some curious creatures with Zoolab. We had slimy, furry, scaly, leggy and tickly friends introduced to us by Rhys from the company. Even though some of our pupils were a little hesitant to begin with, everyone had a fantastic time and some children overcame their fears to handle a range of critters!

Young Entrepreneurs
Mon 08 Jul 2019The Young Entrepreneurs have had a hugely successful year and have gained a thorough understanding of how a business works and how a profit is made. They have proved they have the ability to work as part of a team and have shown a real willingness to take responsibility and show initiative. As a reward for all their hard work and commitment, the 35 Young Entrepreneurs visited the Breadhouse and Unique Like You. They were able to choose a piece of pottery to paint as well as having a brownie and milkshake treat. We look forward to announcing our Young Entrepreneurs of The Year 2019 at our end of year presentation assembly.
Oliver - Being a Young Entrepreneur has taught me how to balance a budget and work as a team.
Matilda - I have learnt the importance of teamwork and to develop my time management skills.
Ben - I have learnt to always plan ahead and have definitely improved my communication skills.
Daniel - It was great to have such an amazing trip as a treat for all our hard work.
