One of our pupils took part in the British National Ballroom & Latin Championships in Blackpool at the weekend and competed in 10 competitions.

The most prestigious of these was the British National Closed Solo Championship, in which she had to dance Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep and Viennese Waltz back to back.  Approximately 50 girls from the UK and Europe were in this competition and Zoe got through all of the rounds to get to the final.  In the final she achieved a highly respectable 7th place.

As well as ballroom, she entered the following Latin competitions - Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba and Jive.  Again, all of the entrants were the best Latin dancers in the country.

She finished the day with the following results -

4 x 4th Places

1 x 5th Place

1 x 6th Place

1 x 7th Place

5 x Semi-final Places

We are super proud of you. Well done!

EYFS created their own memorial wreaths for Armistice Day this week. We learnt that remembrance day is a special day to commemorate those who fought to protect their country and took part in a silence to think about those who keep us safe.

As part of our RE learning, Year One visited St Peters Church on Thursday 26th October. We took a look around the inside the church, identifying key Christian features, how these features are set out and used.  This was a great opportunity to experience the inside of the church through our own eyes.

“The pews are where we sit.”

“The font is where we baptised.”

“The candles mean, Jesus is the light of the world.”

Well done Year One! 

Year One have been working hard in their science lessons learning about Autumn. Miss Murphy, Mrs Rizzo and Mrs Wright gave the children a question to answer:

How much does it rain in October?

To find out the answer, the children listened carefully on how to make a rain catcher. We have put the rain catchers outside our classroom where we are measuring how much rain there is each day. We have been super measurers. Look how fantastic our rain catchers look.

On Monday, Year One were super busy planning their moving pictures.

We took a trip outside to see what transport we could hear or see to help us inspire what we can use for our moving pictures. We were very lucky to hear lorries, motorbikes, cars, buses and we even saw a helicopter!

Back inside, we planned what our moving pictures will look like. They looked wonderful! We can not wait to start making these on Monday.
