Huge thank you to Paul from SPLAT who has worked with us over the past couple of days providing us with a wonderful day full of circus skills on Monday and then a SPAG day on Tuesday.

These opportunities have not only increased our sporting/movement skills, especially balancing, throwing and catching but they have also provided us with a lot of important speaking and listening skills through performing in front of an audience short acts all about the things we have been learning about SPAG (Spelling, punctuation & Grammar).

Each class had differentiated activities to take part in and then at the end we put all of our SPAGTASTIC work together and performed in front of the whole school! We also had bundles of fun along the way! 🙂

Over the past couple of weeks, Papi & Claire (our governors and members of the parent group) has been working with the children in classes to make Christmas wreaths that they have chosen to order. They are absolutely fantastic and will hang beautiful on the doors of Nettlesworth and the wider community!

Thank you!!!! 🙂

We are thrilled to accept the award from Green Tree Schools as we have been marked a Gold School for all our Forest Schools activities taking place across the entire school; planting trees, growing pumpkins, weekly forest schools sessions as well as providing children with outdoor learning opportunities across all of the seasons!

Well done to last year’s reception and year 1 for being our first official cohort of “forest schooler’s” as well as the current children taking part in our fantastic weekly sessions! 🙂

Paul came into school to teach us Circus skills such as juggling, balancing and stilt walking. In our pupil improvement plan at the beginning of the year, we wanted to learn some new sports; circus skills were one of them. We had great fun balancing a peacock feather.

In aid of Crisis, Year 5/6 slept over at school for the night to raise awareness for the homeless. We built a shelter, designed an outfit, had a soup kitchen and listened to real life case stories about young people and the reason why they were homeless. We managed to raise £60 for the charity.

UNCRC Article 27

Children have the right to a standard of living that is good enough to meet their physical and mental needs.

The children enjoyed having so many of their parents and carers in school this morning to show them the wonderful work we have been doing as part of our current ’20’s Plenty’ campaign to make our community and journey to school a safer place! Thank you for coming and joining us! 🙂

We are super proud of Farren, who has recently achieved his Level 1 swimming badge! Keep up this wonderful hobby Farren! 🙂
