Year 6 Play: Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies

I think you will all agree that the children did an absolutely fantastic end of year production; ‘Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies’.

‘Ready, Set, Read!’ aims to keep children’s minds and bodies active over the summer break, empowering children to forge new connections with others and unleash the power of play, sport and physical activity through reading.

This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is delivered in partnership with children’s charity the Youth Sport Trust, which focuses on reading, sport and play.

 

What the challenge will include:

During the six-week holidays, youngsters aged 4 to 11 years old can collect rewards as they read books from the library.

The challenge will feature inspiring books to read and awesome rewards to collect along the way.

 

How to join and take part

Reception Visit Marine Park

By

Reception had a fantastic time at Marine Park this morning! They had great fun playing on the park, playing with skips and balls on the field and building fairy gardens in the woodland area.  The children then enjoyed a delicious ice cream to cool down and got to ride on the park train. What a busy morning! Next, it was the highlight of the day – lunch! Reception enjoyed a lovely lunch in the park with their friends before heading back to school. The children were beautifully behaved and made all of the staff incredibly proud.

I would like to say a big thank you to our wonderful parent helpers and a HUGE thank you to Smith’s Seaview Cafe for very kindly supplying the children’s ice creams free of charge.

Year 2 Infant Trip

By

Year 2 spent the morning at Marine Park as part of their end of year trip. They began with some den building in the forest area. They used sticks, leaves, stones and much more to create dens for their little gnomes and fairies. I was astounded by their creativity.
Then, they spent some time in the play park on the climbing frames and swings. Of course Miss Langley had to join in! To cool off, the children had ice creams and lollies. I think more ended up on their faces than in their tummies!
To end the afternoon, the children had a ride of the park train where they had not one but two rides. What a fantastic day they have had!

Y1 Infant Trip

By

Year 1 had a fantastic time at the Marine Park this morning! They started with some den building in the forest area. The children’s creativity knew no bounds as they used sticks and leaves to construct cosy dens for their little characters.
Afterwards, they ventured into the play park and had a fun playing with the equipment on the big field. Their laughter and joy filled the air! And what better way to cool off than with a delicious ice cream? They devoured their treats with delight before hopping on the park train for not one, but two thrilling rides!

Year 1 then enjoyed a lovely lunch in the park with their friends. The children’s impeccable behavior throughout the day made us incredibly proud! Well done Year 1!
