A leaver's prayer

Mrs. Patton shared with me this beautiful prayer written by Peter -

Dear God,

Make us strong to stand up for what's right and make us the person inside.
Let us show the talents that we have.
Guide us through the journal of life, let us choose the right path and not to follow to dark path.
Make our future life be bright, each and everyday.
Amen.

Well done Peter.

I hope you are all having a happy and restful break.

Home learning

A few years ago, myself and a few other G&T coordinators from across Bristol produced a booklet as a source of guidance for teachers. It was intended to be used by them to give parents ideas about how to work with their children at home to further promote and support their abilities and interests. I thought it would be useful to show this again and place it on the school blog, particularly now with it being the summer holidays. Options are available to increase the size of the booklet or print.

Goodbye

It was an emotional day as we said Goodbye to our Year 6 children. They have had a fantastic year and showed great team work. We also say Goodbye to Mr Tilmouth who is also sadly leaving the school. We wish him well in the future and thank him for all his hard work.


All the best and good luck in your new school!

Y5/6C Banksy Style graffiti

Earlier in the school year, Year 5 & 6 looked at the work of Banksy in their Art Attack project. The class created stencils, which eventually this week we got round to spraying. The results look fantastic! If you are interested in Banksy be sure to check out his work at the Bristol Museum, which closes on 31st August and is free to enter.

Cheetahs

Year 3/4 have had another great PowerPoint presentation for their Safari homework project. The children had to make their own project on a Safari animal of their choice. Hannah in Mrs. Mantle's class did her's on Cheetahs.



Year 6 Performance

Year 6 this week produced two fantastic performances of their play Frankie and me. The audience was treated to some brilliant acting and superb singing. Congratulations and Well done Year 6 for all your hard work. Many thanks to everyone who helped.


















And here is another chance to see the animation in the play starring many of the teaching staff.

Year 1 Assembly and open morning

Today Year 1 shared their assembly with the rest of the school and lots of parents. The children have worked really hard this term on their seaside topic and really enjoyed sharing it with everyone.
After the assembly parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters and friends stayed and had the opportunity to look at the children's books. This was a great success and the children really enjoyed it. Thank you to everybody that made the effort to come in the rain and make the event so brilliant. A big thank you to Miss Geach for her hard work not only this term but all year! Well done year 1!
