Marathon Ready!! – News from Nikki

Latest news from Nikki…

Well this week I did my last long run of 19 miles!!

According to many Marathon running plans 18-20 miles is a good guide. So I went for 19. I was advised not to do more as I have had some problems with my Achilles and my foot arch. So for the next 3 weeks (yes, that’s all that I have left!!?) i will be doing what they call tapering and hoping to remain injury free!

I am looking forward to joining all the children on Friday with their mini-marathon. Tell them they can prepare for it by: 1. Eating a good balanced tea the night before; 2. Get a good night’s sleep and 3. Eat a good breakfast in the morning.

I will be doing the same thing on my marathon day too.

Please can you remind them to BRING THEIR SPONSOR FORMS WITH THEM ON FRIDAY. Just one evening left to ask friends, family and neighbours for sponsors!

My fundraising has been great and I now have just over £1000. If you’d like to show your support the link is

Every £ helps, and really motivates me also.

Double trouble!

We have been looking at doubles this week. The children have worked out the cost of 2 items that are the same, doubled ladybug spots and doubled the amount of objects when they passed through the double hoop.

3D shape

The children have been exploring shapes today. They have been finding out which shapes roll, stack and do both. They have explored which shapes are the best to build with. They have used the clixi to make 3D shapes. Earlier a group of children built a really tall tower using duplo, they had to ask me to help because it got so tall!

Role play

The children wanted to have a Class 1 shop so they could spend their money. They then decided they also wanted a cafe. The children busied themselves making trolleys, tags and credit cards, some even made some magazines to sell. I am sure they will continue to think of and make things that they want in their Clas s1 shop.

As last time, the kitchen will provide an alternative for those children who do not like pizza or pasta.

Maths – money

Thank you very much for all the donations of 1 pences and 2 pences. Today the children were using them to play shops. They took it in turns to be the shop keeper and customers. They had to work put how much money they would have left.

We will be continuing with money work over the week, concentrating on subtraction and some children will be recording their number sentences.

Medals Assembly 10.03.17

Today we introduced a new ‘award’ in our weekly medals assembly. One or two children from each class were nominated by their teacher to share a piece of work that they have produced this week which really stood out. The work shared included science work on solids, liquids and gases, narrative writing on Jack and the Beanstalk, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and setting descriptions and also Winston Churchill fact files. We are looking forward to seeing more children share their work over the weeks ahead.

Well done to Will who was also the recipient of this week’s Secret Teacher award and thank you to Mrs Hughes for being our ‘secret teacher!’

Cross Country 10.03.17

We had a fantastic cross country session tonight and 47 children, over a third of the school, took part. The lovely, mild weather saw many children having to remove layers as you can see in the photo which was completely unrehearsed and I just happened to run past as some of the Class 1 girls were taking a breather! Soon after, the top of the goal post was completely obscured with many more sweatshirts and jackets being discarded!
