Read below to find out more about some of the different activities we have been getting up to; from sporting and musical activities, to visitors and 'wow' days. We are looking forward to helping our children 'explore and grow' further in 2023-24.

• Peterborough Diocese Schools Service

  Thu 27 Sep 2018 M Davis

  On Thursday 27th September, four pupils from Cobalt Class joined Mrs Davis and Mrs Wingrove to represent the school at the annual Peterborough Diocese Schools Service. The children were a credit to the school and were beautifully behaved throughout the service, listening carefully in the prayers, readings and talk and singing lustily in the hymns accompanied by the cathedral organ and a brass band. 

   

  We discovered that we were also the school that was on the Diocesan Prayer rota for the day - so not only were all schools in the Diocese prayed for in the cathedral on 227th October, but all around the Diocese, in all of the churches, our school was being remembered and prayed for.

• World Peace Day - One day, one choir - sing for peace.

  Fri 21 Sep 2018 M Davis

  Friday 21st September was World Peace Day and across the world many schools, choirs, groups and organisations were joining together to sing a song for peace. It didn't matter what song was chosen, as long as it helped us to think about peace. 

   

  We had signed up to the 'One day, one choir' website and undertook to sing a song of peace. Our celebration assembly therefore ended with a rendition of 'I've got peace like a river' - a song we had been learning in our Songs of Praise assemblies. As always, the children sang beautifully, with a rousing crescendo through the three verses: 'I've got peace like a river' sung quietly; 'I've got love like the ocean' a little louder; and 'Ive got joy like a mountain' sung joyfully!

   

  We are very lucky to live in such as safe and peaceful place as Rutland, and it is good for us to remember and think about those who are not as fortunate as us, and perhaps do not have such peace in their lives. 

   

  Well done to all the children for fantastic singing. 

• Year 5/6 Football

  Tue 18 Sep 2018 M Davis

  After school on Tuesday 18th September, our year 5/6 football team set off to play their first matches of the season at Uppingham Community College as part of the Osprey League. 

   

  Under the tutelage of Miss Bevins and Mrs Ranson, the team got off to a fantastic start in the league. They played together well and won their first game 2-0! After a break (when the team decided to play football!) they had their second game, which they again won - this time 3-1. What a fantastic start!

   

  A huge thank you to Miss Bevins and Mrs Ranson for accompanying the team and to the parents for their support in transporting the children to and from Uppingham. 

   

  This looks to be the start of a great tournament!

  

• Crime Day!

  Mon 17 Sep 2018 M Davis

  On Monday 17th September we had a fantastic 'wow' day!

   

  A crime had been committed at school over the weekend and the hall laptop had gone missing. There were three suspects, and lots of clues, and it was the children's job to work out who the culprit was. 

   

  Each class had time to investigate the crime scene and collect clues, before developing their investigative skills to look at finger prints, shoe prints, handwriting and chromatography.

   

  Meanwhile, back in the classrooms, wanted posters were created and newspaper reports were written about what had happened. Some of these will be added to the website here - watch this space!

   

  Finally, at the end of the school day, we all gathered in the school hall, to name our lead suspect and reveal the culprit. Despite Miss Bevins having borrowed Mrs Davis' keys over the weekend, there were no clues relating to her, and so she was soon ruled out. Was it Miss Lynch or Miss Bell? Finger prints pointed to Miss Lynch and footprints to Miss Bell. CCTV was bought in to help, and the culprit was finally revealed as... Miss Lynch! However, it was obvious that she had been sleepwalking, and the ripped note, when accompanied by the CCTV, was soon found to show that she had put the laptop in the cupboard for safe keeping. She had forgotten as she had been asleep! A quick search found the missing item to the relief of everyone, and particularly Miss Lynch, who was let off with a warning and advice not to work so hard!

   

  There are pictures below of some of the activities.
