SJB Primary School

As you are aware we had a visit from Ofsted this week. The inspection took place over two days on Wednesday and Thursday. We are not allowed to discuss any outcomes at this stage because all judgements are quality assured. We can, however, tell you that we are very pleased. We are proud of all our staff and children. The children spoke confidently about their learning and about being part of the school and Ulverston community. Today we celebrated with ice lollies on the playground – well done SJB.

When we first arrived, the girls got to practise their routines on floor mats. The Year 4s had a go on the vault while the older group practised on the mats.

Maddie said, “I am very nervous but excited at the same time!” All of the girls were nervous but they smashed their routines.

Once the girls had gotten into their leotards, we set off to the main hall. Lucy said, “ I hope I can impress the judges.”

The girls all performed their floor and vault routines. It was very nerve wracking but they all did amazingly well!

Thank you for your sport report Joni.

Your effort at the competition and at the club was brilliant.

Thank you for all your hard work!

We have been busy celebrating world book day today.

The children have all been busy reading in groups for the reading competition.

We had the final today with some outstanding reading.

We also enjoyed the fancy dress competition this morning.

Stories in the library this morning.

Well done, Year 4 for making these geodesic structures (curved shapes constructed from straight lines) from cocktail sticks and white tack. You all worked so hard and concentrated so well and it was trickier than it looks!

Well done, Year 4 on such a wonderful collection of Viking artefacts. We also had some delicious Viking bread… sadly eaten before we could get a camera. Crumbs!

The Year 6 group have been practising a wonderful dance routine for some time. This Thursday they got to perform.

The girls were all wearing their costumes. Some of them were excited and some were nervous.

There were several rehearsals before us. When they were performing, many of them were scared but they did very well.

REAL THING! They were AMAZING! The crowd were cheering. Part of the routine involved some dramatic falls to the floor.

“It hurts when you throw yourself on a wooden floor!” said Daisy from Year 6.

Thank you for going to support your friends Sadie. Thank you for the report.

Well done to our Year 6 group who performed so well at the Dance Platform.

We know you were nervous before the dance but your were absolutely brilliant.

All the practice you did with your dance coach paid off. Thank you very much Louise. Thank you to UVHS for hosting the event.
