A team of twelve attended the GSSP's Tag Rugby Festival on a very murky drizzly day. Spirits stayed high, despite the weather, as we practised new skills. For more photos and the children's view of the day, click here.

Introducing our next cohort of Lead Learners. Training has begun and they be looking for our school values in lessons soon. 

On Thursday 1st March we are planning an exciting theme day in school celebrating our love of reading and as part of those celebrations we would like the children to come in to school dressed up as their favourite book character.

We are also having a special theme dinner.

We look forward to seeing all your fantastic and creative costumes.

Unfortunately STEM Club has been cancelled this week, Miss Flanagan gives her sincere apologies and has advised the club will continue after half term.

Thank you. 

The Young Shakespeare Company visited Haselworth today to perform Macbeth to KS2 and it was amazing!  The brilliant actors immersed the children into a story where Macbeth weaves a web of lies and deceit in order to become king.  The children were hooked from the start and all the way through - thank you so much, you really brought Shakespeare to life!

 

It was really exciting!  Saskia

I liked the fact that we all got to interact and we got to say the of the spells and words in parts!  Macie

I thought it was amazing! It was exciting when Macduff marched from England to Scotland to kill Macbeth.  Borys

It was probably the best play I have ever seen!  Cameron

It actually made me feel the emotions.  I give it 5 out of 5 stars!  Lewis

The actors were so kind, they tried to let people always have a go.  The emotions I felt were sad, upset and excited!  Finley

The year 5/6 Girls football team played the GSSP football tournament on the Bridgemary 3G pitch, playing a total of eight matches during an afternoon of COLD temperatures. Fantastic attitude, and girls, you are fit and have shown you can withstand the cold! For more details, click here to go to our PE page.

Six Year 5s have taken charge of the new Change4Life club, a fun way of exercising and keeping fit through an ever-changing variety of games. After a day's training in Portsmouth, our six Champions where chomping at the bit to create and organise new games for children from Sunshines and Wrens class. They have also produced posters and run an assembly to promote this club. Great to see such leadership skills!

 

UPDATE: our six Champions have now run a session without adult assistance - and said it was their best one so far! Well done, the school is proud of you.

Girls from Years 5 and 6 today went to the GSSP football festival at Bridgemary, where they were trained by Pompey in the Community in the skills of passing, dribbling, shooting and tackling. Fantastic attitude, fantastic learning.  For more photos, click here.

Today we held a Remembrance Day service in the playground, led by Mr Lett, a  member of the Royal Navy Reserve, as well as a teacher at our school. We were joined by lots of parents who admired the ceramic poppies made by the children. We worked with Bay House to have these ceramic poppies put into a kiln and glazed.  It was a touching service and we very much enjoyed sharing it with members of the local community.
