Celebration Assembly – 21st October 2022

Today’s assembly was a huge celebration of our first half term!

Special Half-Termly Awards

At the end of each half term we give out special certificates to the children that have particularly impressed their teachers, not just in a week but across the whole half term. It was a really tricky job but a huge well done to….

Edward (1BR), Gracie (1BU), Casey (2S), Ralph (2B), Logan (3JD), Cecilia (3MV), Joshua (4D), Harley (4S), Ivy-Rose (5A), Alfie P (5BW), Bella (6G) and Oliver G (6B).

These children have all acted as brilliant role models to other children by demonstrating great listening, great attitude, 100% effort, great manners, great behaviour, great enthusiasm, great independence, great perseverance and greatly improved confidence….in fact it’s fair to say that they have been ‘great’ all round brilliant learners!

Weekly Achievement Certificates

Year 1 children were recognised for their brilliant Diwali model making and Rangoli patterns and for working so well together to get great results.

Year 2 children had shown excellent effort in maths, great involvement in maths lesson’s and 100% effort in everything they do.

Well done KS1.

Year 3 children were awarded for going above and beyond in writing, for maths presentation and for adapting so well to only being able to work with one arm, while the other was in plaster.

Year 4 children were equally brilliant, as we heard how they are always focused, always react positively to feedback, always work hard for good results and always concentrate on brilliant presentation.

In Year 5 the children were awarded for their expressive letter writing and great word choices when writing as soldiers, for much improved handwriting, for using their maths skills so well to conduct a science experiment and for always working hard.

While Year 6 children received awards for the figurative language used in their poetry this week and for successfully working collaboratively when undertaking a ‘quilling’ art project.

Great Job KS2!
