Year 3 Recorder Performance 

Last week, our Year 3 pupils performed a selection of pieces to parents and family. Having only started lessons in January, it was lovely to see the whole year group playing together. Miss Jones and Mrs Statham take the recorder lessons and they have been impressed with the engagement and effort in the lessons. Some really positive comments from parents, too after the performance; many were very impressed by the standard and quality of the playing. Some pupils have since been selected to attend a Recorder Club, run by Miss Jones.

Thanks to our Year 3 parents for their support over the months and to Miss Jones and Mrs Statham for their wonderful recorder teaching!

Year 4 spend the day at The Tower of London

This week, our Year 4 children went to to visit The Tower of London, as part of their learning about Crime and Punishment in history. They enjoyed seeing the actually Crown Jewels and climbing to the top of the White Tower. They also learnt about people who had been imprisoned in the Tower and the different forms of punishment that were used. The day ended with a walk around the battlements, where the children were blessed with wonderful views of Tower Bridge and the Shard. 

The Year 4 staff did an amazing job with the preparation and management of the trip, on what was the hottest day of the year. A big thank you also to the parent volunteers. This was a fantastic trip for the children to remember for many years to come.

Year 2 visit Fr. Steve at the church

This week, our Year 2 classes went to St. Andrew's Church to talk to Fr. Steve about Baptism. He answered a lot of questions about the church and himself, before demonstrating some of the things that take place at a baptism ceremony. The children were thrilled to try on some robes, too. 

Another highlight of the trip was finding the tomb of Sir Nicholas Rainton, who the children learnt about in their history unit last term. What a wonderful link for children; RE and history in one place. A big thank you to Fr. Steve for his time. 

Year 1 children begin their RE unit with a visitor

The Year 1 classes have begun their new RE unit this term, which is learning about Islam. We are very lucky at St. Andrew's to have many Muslim families, so it was only natural that we invite Mr Shah, one of our parents, to come to talk to the children about Islam. 

Mr Shah told the children about the clothes Muslims wear to the mosque. He also showed them his prayer mat, which he said many Muslims carry with them, as they pray five times a day. A big thank you to Mr Shah for helping the children to extend their learning. 

Year 3 start Outdoor Adventurous Activities (OAA) unit in PE

This week, our teachers have been taking part in training provided by the local authority PE Department. Part of the PE curriculum is OAA, which includes activities such as orienteering and team-building skills and helps to develop resilience, independence and risk-taking. Above all, it highlights the need for children to explore learning outdoors. The Year 3 children had great fun taking their learning into our wonderful grounds this week. Thank you to Ms Sanders, our PE Lead, for organising the training.
