• Year 3 Jingle Jog

  Fri 19 Nov 2021

  This week, the Year 3 children had a great time at Sherwood Pines taking part in the Joseph Whitaker family of schools 'Jingle Jog'.  All of the children were given a Santa hat, did a warm up to Christmas songs and then ran 3km!  The children were absolutely brilliant and some ran so fast, they were exhausted and fell asleep on the bus on the way home!

  

• Anti-bullying Week

  Mon 15 Nov 2021

  This week, the whole school is taking part in Anti-bullying Week and today we are wearing odd socks to show that we are all different.  All of the children will also be writing one kind word which will then be displayed in the school as a reminder of the importance of always being kind.

• Loose Parts Play

  Fri 05 Nov 2021

  This week, Key Stage 2 have started using the loose parts at playtime. They've been creating lots of different activities from balance courses to see-saws and it's been so wonderful to see the excitement. The children have been risk assessing the activities and also working together across year groups as part of a team. Next week, we will be introducing more items and extending it to lunchtimes.
