SJB Primary School

Our athletes in Year 3,4,5, and 6 have done themselves proud again.

They threw themselves into this event with their usual energy and enthusiasm.

These are the local results but we know we did very well nationally too.

Good evening

If your child is in Y1, Y3 or Y5 and you did not get chance to come along this evening, you can collect tomorrow. If you have also a child in Y2, Y4 or Y6 you can collect all packs from that teacher. If you just forgot or were too busy, that’s not a problem – go to Mrs Fletcher’s gate and we’ll find your pack and hand it over.

Please wear a mask and observe social distancing. Many Thanks

Dear Parents and Carers

Teachers (Reception -Y6) are putting together a pack of resources to support those of you at home.  The contents will vary depending on the class.

·         Please collect the pack from the gate your child was using before Christmas

·         The packs will be in plastic bags but we recommend you wash your hands carefully after taking them home.

·         You may wish to quarantine the bag before opening

·        Please wear a face mask

·         Please stay 2m apart from staff and other parents/carers when you are at the gates

There are two collection dates.

Year 1, Year 3 and Year 5: 3:30 – 4:00 Thursday 7^th January

Reception, Year 2, Year 4 and Year 6:  3:30 – 4:00 Friday 8^th January

If you have children in classes with collection on different nights, we will send the packs home from the eldest child’s class so you don’t need to come to school twice.  If you are unable to collect from school for any reason please let class teachers know using ‘Google Classrooms’, or message us on Facebook or send an email.  The school office is experiencing a high volume of calls and at this stage we are trying to prioritise those that are urgent.

Well done to our reading competition winners this term! Look out for a new challenge next term! Keep reading over Christmas Year 2 – you all have four school books to read! 👍

An outrageous hat of course!

Our athletics scores will be sent off this evening. Well done to all who took part and to those who were still improving today.

The children have been baking this week. We made honey biscuits as this is something the Romans particularly enjoyed.

The children did find this challenging. There is a lot to remember and if you put too much of an ingredient in, it can make baking more difficult.

We have heard that some of the children are baking at home- well done.

Our final CLIC test was completed this morning with some excellent results.

Last spelling challenge tomorrow!

There was lots to do in Father Christmas’s workshop so Nursery got to work, helping to wrap up the parcels (and also explored 3D shapes at the same time) 🎅🏻🎁

All of the children were out running on Friday completing our SJB Santa Dash.

They were all running again today in our Santa Run and they will all take home a medal.

Considering everything that has happened this year, it is obvious that we have physically active children at SJB. Our aim is for all the children to have active, fun and challenging PE lessons whilst returning to their full physical health.

Year 3 finished their work on The Nativity Story last week.

We have spent this week joining clay. The children began joining and making bases on Tuesday. They worked in groups to make Roman Arches on Wednesday. They returned to one of their favourite topics on Thursday and made a volcano.

Next week we will attempt some baking/cooking. There may well be a Roman theme.

Our first writing pens have been given out! There were 10 Big Write Stars last week! The children are enjoying cricket coaching on a Friday! We are all looking forward to The Santa Dash and The Santa Run over the coming days!
