What a windy week it’s been, that hasn’t blown our spirits away at the Academy.
Mrs Hoods English class took a walk around the village so the children could write a recount of what they did, where they went and what they saw.
Our Prom Praise choir group went to rehearsals at St Nicholas Church for the whole day and are sounding great.
Lastly, Friday was NSPCC Number day and children dressed up in football tops, wore themed shirts, there was even some amazing number themed outfits too.
For the last week before half term it is Children’s Mental Health Week and Safer Internet Day and the children will be learning how important these are not only to them, but to their friends and families too.
They’ll also be working hard and showing Determination before a well deserved weeks break.
In Geography this term, year 5/6 have been looking at The Americas. The children were very surprised to find that USA was not America but only one country in America. They used atlases and plotted all the countries they could find. We then looked in detail at the country of USA and the children located all the states. Finally, we researched the different physical features of The Americas and discussed why this made The Americas unique.
In music, we have been practicing the songs our children will be singing in London, they are very excited about this amazing opportunity.
In PE, the children have been collaborating together in groups to create a Samba routine. They have shown great skill in perfecting the dancing and performing as a team.
And finally, in History we have been studying about the Civil Rights movement and if you are able to attend our assembly next Friday pm, the children would love to share their learning with you.
Did you know we do a breakfast club every morning? You can bring your child in, knowing they’ll get a good breakfast before they start school.
This is open to everyone and can be booked in the clubs section on the school gateway app.
It costs £1.20 for each morning your child attends.
Attendance every day is vital for your child’s progress unless they are too unwell to learn. It is your responsibility to inform the academy if your child is going to be absent by 8.45am each day of their absence. You can contact the office on 01642 453374.
This weeks best attendance goes to…..
3 days of missed learning occurred this week due to unauthorised absences. Unauthorised absences are for holidays, parents/carers not contacting the academy or any other unexplained absence. With most minor ailments, children can be in school, so we really encourage you to think about keeping your child at home.
65 children achieved 100% attendance this week which is Amazing!!
Can you get 100% next week?
New Year, new menu. Our lunches are provided on a 3 week rota. Next weeks choices will be Week 1.
A reminder to all parents we are a Nut Free Academy, please read below.

There would appear to be a problem with head lice in the academy. Several parents have informed us that their child has headlice; obviously this must mean that there are other children who also have the problem.
I have taken this opportunity to provide some up-to-date advice for treating headlice and I would ask every parent to please check their child’s hair tonight and every night and treat if necessary.
It is not sufficient to simply shampoo your child’s hair; this will not get rid of the lice – parents should visit a chemist, supermarket or see their family doctor to purchase or obtain a prescription for headlice lotion and follow the instructions. An alternative method, and one which does not involve the use of chemicals, is as follows:
It is recommended that the above treatment be done for at least 4 days.
If you know your child has headlice, please treat it as soon as possible and check your child’s hair every night.
The school nurse can be contacted via school, if any further advice or information is needed.
Please make sure that all items of clothing, including coats and packed lunch bags are clearly labelled with children’s names, so it is easy to find their owners.
All children have been provided with a t-shirt and shorts in a bag for PE lessons but they need to have their own trainers/plimsols in school please. Plimsols will be provided if needed. As the weather is changing, you may want to send in a tracksuit for children to wear outside during PE lessons.
