PE days – which day to I wear my PE uniform?
We are going to continue with wearing PE kit on PE days – this cuts down on lost property and saves learning time, so we’re going to continue this for at least next year as a longer term trial. On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their school uniform PE kit. (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a plain ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Here is a link to our uniform policy.
Please find below the days each class has allocated PE times, which will be taught outdoors, except in extreme weather.

Year 5/6 Sport Afternoon
Year 5/6 had an amazing afternoon today, completing our Sports Day. Despite the heat, the children applied themselves brilliantly to all the races. The races included hurdles, long distance, relay and the bean bag sprint – it was like the Olympics!
Well done to everyone that participated – you were amazing!
Winning Warriors!
Well, we survived. Every single warrior made it to the end of the Total Warrior course. There was great anticipation before we set off – nerves were building.
Once the race began, sounds of squeals, giggling and screaming filled the quiet countryside. The children overcame the Bog of Doom, mud slides, skips of muddy water and of course, the famous water slide at the end. They overcame fears, supported each other, encouraged others and got mud in all sorts of places!
It was an absolute pleasure to take the Year 6 on this visit – it certainly seemed a great way to end the year. Sorry to the parents for all the extra washing at the weekend! We hope every single warrior enjoyed themselves – although I’m not sure who enjoyed it the most, the children or the teachers!

Scarecrow competition
We will be making some scarecrows in school. If anyone lives in the village, you can join in individually and display them outside your house. If not, and you want to make your own, bring your scarecrow to school on Friday 16 July and we will display it outside school over the weekend.
Design Technology
Let the building commence!
5/6S have been progressing well with their DT topic this week. They have now completed the design process and are able to get hands on. We spent the first part of the lesson working out the precise dimensions of our cars so that we selected the correct amount of materials. The children had to accurately measure how much dowel they would need to build the frame for their vehicles. They all worked super hard and they really enjoyed turning their hand to drilling, sawing and constructing. The children followed all the safety rules brilliantly and the classroom ended up looking like a carpenters workshop!

Design Technology
We have been busy this week selecting the equipment that we will need to make our ‘Eggy’ cars. The children have completed their final designs and we are so close to making them now. The children were introduced to all the tools they could use and they had a go at safely using the equipment. the children were all able to talk about how to keep everyone safe when using tools, such as hand saws. Each group was set the challenge of joining two pieces of dowel together. They first had to cut the dowel to size and then use PVA glue and some card to reinforce the joint. They all created an L-shaped joint. The children were incredibly sensible using the tools and we didn’t lose any fingers!
