• World Book Day

  Tue 28 Feb 2023

  World Book Day is on 2nd March 2023 and each class will make a short trip to Spalding to visit the bookshop, Bookmark, and also Spalding Library.

   

  Every year, the children receive a £1 book token for World Book Day that can be exchanged for one of the specially published £1 books so we will be handing these out to the children so they can choose their own book when we visit Bookmark. However, the £1 book token can also be used against the price of any book so if the children want to bring in some extra money to ‘top-up’ their token and then buy a different book then that is fine too.   Bookmark have kindly offered to give each of the children a drink and a biscuit while we are there. We will also be visiting the library so that the children can enjoy a story or two. 

  Back in school, we will be running a book swap. The children can bring in any books that they no longer want from home and exchange them for a token. For example, if a child brings in 3 books, they will receive 3 tokens. The token can then be exchanged for another book in the book swap that they would like.

  

• Taiko

  Tue 28 Feb 2023

  On Thursday 9th February 2023 we had a special visit from Dave.  He taught us all about Taiko drums and how to pass the bachi correctly.  We learnt two sets of Japenese Taiko, he was completely overwhelmed by our ability to listen, store information and play back to him.  Dave said Oak class are like Jedi Warriors!  Well done Oak class, we are very proud of you.

  

• Balanceability for Reception Children

  Tue 28 Feb 2023

  On 25th January we were lucky enough to have had a visit from Steve from the Balanceability team. He worked with the Reception children over two days to look at how to improve our balance and our skills on a balance bike. We also learnt about keeping safe and how to look after our bikes. Since Steve left, the children have been recreating some of his challenges for each other in the playground.
