What a wonderful morning we have all had when we welcomed our families into school to share and participate in a variety of activities to celebrate UK Parliamentary Day.
We explored photos of the Houses of Parliament; constructed the Elizabethan Tower; gave personal views on parliamentary issues and had live debates concerning children and school.
Thank you ever so much to our wonderful families who all enjoyed spending time with us during debate and having coffee, tea and treats.
Rights Respecting Gold ethos demonstrated by all our children and families today.

What a fabulous day our children have had participating in their Autumn Term Maths Day 2023. The teachers were very excited to teach conceptual problems based on Calculation to 2 different classes over the course of the afternoon. We have some fabulous mathematicians in our school and it was lovely to see all the children excel in their work.
Well done everyone.
Class 1 had lots of fun, working with Mrs Aspinall and Miss Grimes. With Miss Grimes, the children worked hard to count sweets. Miss Grimes was amazed by their amazing counting skills and their number knowledge. With Mrs Aspinall, the children joined in with a Super-Movers and made towers of up to 3 blocks.
Class 2 had a great time working with Mrs Hill. The children worked hard to answer calculation questions – some adding and even some subtracting! Mrs Hill was blown away by their methods and loved how they used their number lines to help.
Class 3 have worked very hard with Mr. Graham solving conceptual problems using addition and subtraction. We even used the Part, Part, Whole model to enhance our reasoning skills.

Class 3 had a fun time working with Mrs Hill. The children worked hard to answer calculation questions in as many different ways as possible – even using the inverse operation to check their answers!
Class 4 have worked very hard with Mr. Graham solving conceptual problems using the 4 functions – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We used our application skills by explaining our workings to the rest of the class as teachers.

Class 4 worked hard with Mrs Aspinall to become real life teachers! Children worked in groups to teach their peers how to solve a range of calculations. Well done Class 4!
Class 5 worked hard with Mrs Morton and Miss Grimes, solving word problems involving all four operations. They worked hard as a group and gave each other challenges to complete.

The children in school were very grateful to the petrol station in Plawsworth, who donated sweets for all of the children. We were very grateful and enjoyed them! Our Rights Respecting Council have written a thank you letter to express our thanks.

UNCRC Article 12 – All children have the right to have a say in all matters affecting them.
Today class 3 visited our local park, as part of our new cornerstones topic ‘Mighty Metals’. While we were there, we noticed some things we would like to change about the park. Straight away, the children noticed the amount of graffiti on the playground equipment. We also noticed how old the equipment looked and how some of the apparatus wasn’t safe. As a result, we decided we could try to make a change by writing a letter to our local MP, Kevan Jones, to raise our concerns. We thought carefully about what could be changed and we are hoping to hear back soon.

Class 2 were very shocked to see that one of the benches in our local area had been broken, so we decided that we would use our pupil voice to try to solve the problem.
We have emailed our local MP, Mr Kevan Jones, who is keen to help us! Watch this space!!
