We have had another really busy and enjoyable week here at Poverest with so many exciting learning opportunities.
The children have been enjoying the new playtime equipment giving them plenty of new ideas to occupy their time on the playground. Personally, I felt very proud of my basketball scoring skills when I joined them earlier in the week.
Our year 6 classes visited Pizza Express this week and came back with boxes of delights and pizza chef's hats. I am sure they thoroughly enjoyed the contents of the boxes. Maybe they could recreate some of their pizza ideas at home for their families?
A few of our year 4 children attended The Warren, Hayes, and took part in a times table challenge. I have seen first hand how the year 4 children really get competitive with the online maths games.
I looked out for our younger children this morning, but instead of the usual classes arriving as normal, there appeared to be a whole lot of pirates in their place! I discovered that they have been reading the ‘Night Pirate’ and today they had an immersive pirate day as a conclusion of it. I saw some incredible costumes, thank you for getting so involved. I am sure they will be talking about it for the rest of the weekend.
We had another visitor at the end of the week; Rhiannon from the Little City (South East) came to Poverest and set up a model town for the younger children to explore. I saw children sitting in the hairdressers while their friends pretended to style their hair, others were acting as vets and making sure the soft toys were fit and well. Down at the garage the mechanics were busy fixing the cars; there was so much going on. It was a very busy town and a wonderful experience for all the children.
Just a little reminder to please remember warm PE kits for when your children are having their outdoor sessions. They will still be going ahead, so it is important that the children are dressed appropriately for these lessons.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
See you on Monday
Mrs Mills
