We have had a wonderful week at Park Street, celebrating everything that is READING! We love to read and this positive ethos of reading and loving reading really shines through. All week we have done activities to encourage a love of reading:
-staff visiting other classrooms to read their favourite book to a new class -books being hidden, read and then re-hid in a Treasure Hunt on school site! -dressing up as their favourite character -bringing their own books in from school to read to different children in different classes -a special 'book and biscuit' Reading Together session for children and parents. WE LOVE READING! We have enjoyed another Feel Good Friday this week, with all boys and girls taking part! We love to do an extra physical activity and mindfulness activity and recognise that this helps so much with all of our mental and physical health! We love to keep fit and healthy and love to feel positive!
A BIG well done to Team JD and Team HG for their strong attendance rates this last week!
Team JD - 98% Team HG - 99.3% Whole school - 95.6% - WELL DONE PARK STREET! SO CLOSE! Remember our target is 97% - let's go for it this week Park Street! In today's multi-cultural and diversity assembly we have focused on the significant person from the past: Anne Frank. Many of our Park Streeters dressed as Anne Frank on our History Day and so we decided to find out a little bit more about her, her childhood and family and what made her and her family fight for their freedom and what they believed.
We linked this to the British Value 'Individual Liberty' and talked about how she fought for hers, with her family. We discussed how she must have been very resilient and determined and she is a reason why schools like Park Street celebrate uniqueness. We will continue to celebrate her this next week as we look at Women's Day. This week Years 1-3 and 4-6 have held assemblies to focus on Online Safety, with Mr Holmes and Mrs Longden.
Our younger children listened intently to how to keep themselves safe on line and took this issue very seriously. Mrs Longden gave a special shout out to Team JD who gave some excellent ideas and suggestions in the assembly, fully engaging themselves on the importance of keeping safe and looking after ourselves and others. With this being a very important issue for young children and their families, we will continue to hold key stage assemblies after each half term holiday, so as we are continually ensuring children are reminded of the importance of keeping themselves safe. I was blown away by our youngest children in school today, when I watched their oracy poetry performance of 'Pancake Poem'. They had worked so hard to remember the words and the actions, as well as showed outstanding confidence to present it to others.
At Park Street, oracy is very important and we try hard to make as many opportunities as possible for our children to present back their ideas, learning and work to others, as well as practise their speaking skills. Well done Nursery, you have set a very high standard for our other boys and girls to match! A BIG well done to Team CH and Team HG for their strong attendance rates this last week!
Team CH - 99.2% Team HG - 99.2% Whole school - 96.9% - WELL DONE PARK STREET! SO CLOSE! Remember our target is 97% - let's go for it this week Park Street! A HUGE well done to the Park Street team for their efforts with attendance and punctuality. Our current rates are excellent and some of the strongest within the Trust. Well done and THANK YOU! We had an AMAZING day in school today, full of fun and learning! Children and staff were invited to use their creative thinker skills and come to school dressed as someone significant from the past, to celebrate our knowledge of History!
Each child joined in and we saw some fantastic outfits - as well as some very creative ideas! All of the children were expected to come with 5 new facts about their significant person, to share with others, so as they too could learn more about more people! Each class chose representatives to win the 'best costume' award and also 'the person they want to know more about' award, based on the information they learnt from others! In Team HG we had a brilliant time sharing our knowledge of our significant person. We had information about Florence Nightingale, Boudicca, Emmeline Pankhurst, Abraham Lincoln, Queen Victoria, Julius Caesar, Captain Tom Moore, Marcus Rashford, Isaac Newton, Neil Armstrong, Spartacus, Al Capone and Cleopatra! We can't wait for our next dress-up day! Thank you to Miss Clementson, Mrs Allen and our History Ambassadors for organising for the full school! Today Year 6s have had an amazing experience with visitor Balbir Singh. She came along to work with the year 6s and provide a dance experience which also allowed them to explore the written work of Macbeth by Shakespeare.
This was a wonderful opportunity for the children and one which they thoroughly engaged with and enjoyed! It is yet another example of our recent GOLD Art's Mark Award being exemplified! |
