• Chicks!

  Wed 25 Sep 2019
  The chicks have arrived in Key Stage One and the first chick has already hatched from its egg! We are watching very closely what happens to the eggs and how the chicks will grow as part of our work in science. Keep checking for updates to see what happens!

  

• Bike It

  Wed 25 Sep 2019

  Our reception children are learning to ride bikes! Today, children practised their balancing and gliding skills by doing ‘Kangaroo Hop and Stop’. Children also learnt about road safety and the importance of wearing a helmet. Some of the children are starting to find the pedals and push off with their foot. The children are really enjoying their bike sessions!

  

• Girls Active Ambassador Launch

  Fri 20 Sep 2019

  A major goal of the PE and Sports team at Sir John Heron this year is to continue to get as many girls in our school active and participating in the various sports opportunities that are on offer. As part of this some of our year 5 and 6 girls attended the Sports Tapscott launch of Girls Active on Friday 20th September. The main objective of Girls Active is to allow girls to become role models within their school, setting up leadership groups which focus on how they could make PE and physical activity more appealing to their peers. Well done to all the girls who took part, we look forward to seeing the girls lead physical activity games and sports in the MUGA at lunchtimes.

  

• Reception Family Friday

  Fri 20 Sep 2019
  On September 20th Reception had their first Family Friday. The theme for the Family Friday was Healthy Eating and keeping in line with that the classes made Apple Crumble and ate it before they went home. The parents/ carers were invited to come in and take part in making the crumble with the children and to explore the activities that have been left out for the children to play with. It was a fun morning that both the parents/ carers and children enjoyed! We look forward to seeing you at the next Family Friday on 11th October at 9am.

  Well done to our Year 5 and 6 Girls Tag Rugby squad who have been training every Tuesday after school for their upcoming Sports Tapscott Girls Tag Rugby competition on 27th September.

• School Parliament Elections

  Tue 17 Sep 2019

  This afternoon, children from Year 2 - Year 6 voted for who they want to represent them in the School Parliament! Children wishing to be representatives had made campaign videos to convince their classmates to vote for them in the election.

   

  The elections took place in the Hub and were very official - there were voting cards for the children to vote for one candidate and we even borrowed the polling booths and ballot box from the Local Council!

   

  Good luck to all the children who are hoping to become our new School Parliamentarians! The children who are elected will be announced in school later this week!
