SJB Primary School

Thank you to our lovely parent helpers for your support this morning.

Well done to everyone who took part. We are very proud of you all.

More news after this afternoon’s performance!

We had a great time designing and practising mixed media collage based on our new book: Mama Miti.

Our eco committee had a busy afternoon at the Coronation Hall finding out all about how be even more eco friendly. Many thanks to our adult volunteers for making the visit possible.

Our 2 teams received their certificates today for gymnastics.

Their coach (Mrs Cook) would like to say that they were a credit to the school. She thoroughly enjoyed working with them.

This group have been taking part in gymnastics since they were in KS1 and we have seen a huge improvement in their skills.

The girls would like to say thank you Mrs Cook for coaching them on a Friday morning.

A message from Karolina to Mrs Cook: Thank you for teaching us. I have learnt a lot in our practices.

A message from Maddie: Thank you, you have taken us a long with our gymnastics and helped us to get better.

Final message from Lola: Thank you for taking the time to coach us. I really enjoyed it.

Well done to our Year 5 and 6 girls who played last week at UVHS.

SJB 1 won the tournament by winning all of their games.

We are very pleased with this result girls. All your practising in our rugby club paid off.

Our eco committee did a great assembly this morning all about Fairtrade Fortnight. They talked about what fairtrade means and showed a video of a banana farmer and his family: https://vimeo.com/153362757

They also talked about the importance of buying Fairtrade products if you are able to.

Finally, they set everyone a challenge: How many Fairtrade products can you find in your cupboards at home? To spot them, just look for the logo.

Our athlete visited SJB today for an assembly about his life and experiences.

We then participated in some exercises in the hall with him.

Jamell was an engaging speaker and the children were keen to take part and ask questions.

Year 6 in particular found the section about nutrition relevant to their learning.

Thank you for visiting Jamell. It is important that the children see where hard work and determination can get them.

Thank you and well done to all those who helped to make World Book Day such a success at SJB. As you can see from these photographs, many of the costumes were especially impressive this year. If you look carefully you’ll see a new addition to our class – a Little Red someone-we-all-know! Many congratulations too to our reading competition winners – the standard of reading was especially high this year, so this was a really noteworthy achievement.
