Sporting event three last week was for our Year 1 and Year 2 children. They walked up the road to Queen Elizabeth High School for a Multi-skills event. The event was superbly organised by the school and the council and the older children were great at helping our younger children. They learnt so many skills that they can use in so many sports. Thank you to all the staff in KS1 who made the morning possible. Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust Your School Games Youth Sport Trust Active Lincolnshire West Lindsey District Council

Sporting event two last week saw our Year 6 Cricket team travel to Woodhall Spa for the County Cricket finals! Although it was blowing a gale, the sun was shining and the wickets were in immaculate condition. The team gave it their all but when your team has no children playing cricket outside school and all the other teams have many members of Cricket clubs, it will always be hard. However, we hit some fours and took some great catches to finish as the 8th best team in the County. Well done to the players and Coach Benny.

What a busy week of sport we had last week! Firstly, we had a Year 5/6 and a Year 3/4 football team at the Sturton by Stow summer football festival. A wonderful event that saw great performances and hard word in the sunshine. A huge credit to the children who gave up the chance to watch England against Congo DR to play in this competition. Thank you to all the family members who supported the children and Coach Benny for his tactical insight!

History came to life in KS1 today as we welcomed Sir William from the time of the Great Fire of London! The children loved hearing his stories, asking questions, and stepping back in time for a fantastic learning experience. #KS1 #GreatFireOfLondon #HistoryComesAlive

We are incredibly proud to celebrate another fantastic year of success with our Phonics Screening Check results!

Together, we are giving our children the strong foundations they need to flourish and achieve their full potential. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.

Over the last two weeks, we have travelled back in time to learn all about dinosaurs! The children became little paleontologists, excavating fossils, learning about different dinosaurs, and discovering what they may have sounded like. In Maths, we have been learning all about measuring, doubles, odds & evens. The children have had a truly roarsome time! #ParishProud

On Friday in our reading instruction lesson, Year 5 worked incredibly hard finding evidence to identify all the worries inside Matthew's head. We are thoroughly enjoying The Goldfish Boy book and have loved exploring the character's thoughts and feelings. We can't wait to find out what happens next!
