Weekly update

In assembly this week, we drew inspiration from a story about Robert the Bruce and the spider.  Pupils thought about their aspirational goals and how to keep going - to try and try again.  Legend has it that when Robert's spirits were broken, he took refuge in a cave.  Sitting in the cave, he noticed a small spider attempting to weave a web. The spider tried and tried over and over to make the web.  Each time the spider fell, it climbed back up to try again - “If a little spider can bravely do it without losing hope, then I can also do it.”

 

A highlight of the week has been the fabulous Hedgehog houses that the pupils have been creating with Ms De La Hey.  Hopefully, in time, we’ll attract some prickly visitors!

 

With their community hats on, pupils have been giving their views about the proposed development of the West & Middle Chinnock recreation ground as part of the community.  We look forward to the outcome of this survey and the redevelopment of this village space.

 

The next  Timestables Rockstars Battle of the Bands week is set for Monday 6th to Friday 10th of February.  Will another year group push Year 6 off the top spot?

 

A reminder that for pupils in Years 2-6, we are using a website called ‘The Spelling Shed’.  When your child logs into their account at home (and in school) that week’s spellings will show up to learn and practise. Please log in each week to check the spellings and complete activities.
