🟢🔵TEAM CAPTAINS 🔴🟡

A few weeks ago, the Year 6 pupils wrote and delivered their own speeches to the rest of their team stating why they should be chosen to be a Team Captain, Sports Captain or Recycling Officer.

They explained what qualities they had and how these would help their team to be successful this year.

After listening to the speeches, every team member (from Reception to Year 5) had the really hard task of choosing which role suited which Year 6. Each team used democratic votes to decide who would get to wear which shiny, new badge! 🛡

Thank you to all the members of staff who got stuck in and supported their teams beautifully! We can’t wait to see all the teamwork that’s going to go on this year!

  • Congratulations green team!
  • Smiling green team
  • Our red team leaders
  • Positive and proactive yellow team!

❤️ Woof Date: I’m sooo excited to see you! ❤️

Hello my fabulous Sound Family,

I hope you’ve had an amazing summer! I’ve been super busy playing with the cats; helping with the extension; going on lots of walks; being groomed and spending lots of time with my family!!! 😎

Waiting in the car ready to come to school…

Mum has just cleaned the car out which is making me jump up and down with joy as I know it can only mean one thing: seeing all of you again on Thursday! 😍 I have missed you all soo much and I can not wait to sit down with you and listen to all the exciting things you have been doing (whilst being stroked & cuddled of course!) I am especially excited to meet the new Reception children and make even more friends-WELCOME TO THE SOUND FAMILY! Yey! 🤩

I’m soo happy to be seeing my Sound friends again!

Padme’s Postbox Challenge: This week in my postbox I’d like you to draw a picture or write to me about what makes you smile! 😄 I smile when I see my friends and when you tickle me behind my right ear! Remember to add in lots of details and colour… I can’t wait to get reading!

Lots of lots,

Padme 🐾

⭐️Y6 Superstar Leavers⭐️

The day had finally come…. the last day before Y6 moved onto High School! What a day it has been!

First up, the whole school managed to get outside in the glorious sun where we held a whole school presentation ceremony. The leavers received their thesauruses and their memory books and we presented our Sports Personality and Progress Plate.

A HUGE congratulations goes to Callum for Sports Personality and Evie for gaining the plate. We are really proud of them, as we are of them all! 🤩

Next, we managed a socially distanced T-shirt signing session where every class wrote some special words on the children’s shirts whilst enjoying the outdoors. We have never used so many wipes and sanitiser, but it was all worth it and the 6’s will treasure these forever! Will’s even getting his framed!

Finally, all the children in the school had great fun watching the wonderful Leavers’ Assembly. There were lots of laughs and a LOT of tears (in Onyx Class!) We hope all the Year 6 families enjoyed the ham and Peppa Pig as much as we did, & didn’t sob too much at the end?!

Lunchtime fun with a last footie game thrown in! ⚽️

We wish all our Year 6 children the most amazing future: keep smiling, keep being you and go get ‘em!

Happy Summer everyone! 😎

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿We are so proud of you England!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This morning we held a special assembly to think about how we were all feeling after England’s defeat in the Euros Final. We thought about how the players must be feeling and we talked about how it is OK to feel disappointed when we don’t win or get something we have worked hard for.

We then looked at what an amazing team England have been and what fantastic role models they have been for us all. Teamwork, pride and strength were just some of the words we used to describe them 🤩.

Next, we thought about how we could all learn from the England Team and what attributes the Sound Team can take from them:- determination, trying hard, championing others, supportive, unity, bravery, inclusiveness …. the list was endless!

Even though England lost, we are still all so proud of them and thank them for being such wonderful ambassadors. We can’t wait for the World Cup next year and maybe, just maybe, football will come home! 🏆

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Hands up if you think it’s coming home?!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Are you getting excited for the finals yet? The Sound Team are and even Padme is joining in the fun! 🐾

“It’s coming home, it’s coming home…..”

COME ON ENGLAND, YOU CAN DO THIS!

Rainforest collages in Opal Class

This week is art week and we have been inspired by the different layers of the rainforest to create some layered pieces of art. First we took lots of different materials and and ripped them into smaller pieces.

Then, we used stencils to draw a range of animals that would be found in the rainforest and used dot work to add detail to the animals.

finally, we collaged all of our different colours and materials to create a rainforest with lots of layers just like the real thing.

👑Our New Head Boy&Girl👑

Yesterday, the big wait was over….. our wonderful Head Boy Callum and Head Girl Myla handed over the reins to our new ‘chosen ones!’

A MASSIVE congratulations goes to Harry and Caprice who were voted by the whole staff as next years Head Boy and Girl 👏

We know they will help lead Sound brilliantly and they will be incredible ambassadors for the school. We can’t wait to get started! ⭐️

Myla handing over the baton!
