Weekend Blog 08.06.24 - Pond Life and a Raia of Sunshine

Posted on June 8, 2024 Posted By: Darren Vallier Categories: Headteacher

Hello everyone.

This week Raia in Minnows Class spent 45 minutes independently creating a stunning piece of artwork. Describing the moment, she said “I just went where my hand took me”. A lovely start to Summer Term 2.

FUNKY FRIDAY ASSEMBLY

Thank you to the parents and grandparents who attended our first morning Funky Friday Assembly. It was certainly cooler for everyone. A special mention to our new technical wizard Mr Winstone – who saved the day with his laptop…….and soaked up the applause.

OSCARS

Congratulations to Alana-Mai (Year 3) on being presented with an Oscar. Alana has been helping the St Barnabas House Charity Shop by labelling their clothing price tickets. She has to tear each one off individually and write SHM on the back of each one. Alana has completed thousands of the labels.

It started when she was shopping with her Mum and noticed one of the volunteers tearing and writing the labels for us, Alana asked to help and asked to take some home to do. She was so excited that we allowed her to take a huge roll home and she brought them back a few days later asking for more rolls.

Natalie, who runs the shop, said ‘Alana is a real credit to Shoreham Beach Primary which is why I have felt the need to email you’. Well done Alana-Mai.

GOLD AWARDS

Congratulations to Aurelia on receiving a Gold Awards this week.

YEAR 3 ART

Year 3 produced some art work in the wildlife garden. They were inspired by Andy Goldsworthy.

YEAR 6 ROUNDERS

Congratulations to our Year 6 Rounders team who had a wonderful time at Shoreham Academy and came third out of eight teams. Apparently they were incredibly supportive and encouraging of each other.

POND LIFE

Every Minnow spent time looking at our pond life this week. They saw “wriggly things”, “little worms that moved sideways”, “tadpoles with legs” and “pond snails”. Apparently there were no sharks, no whales and no dolphins!

HARLEY’S CORNER

“Hello everyone. What a week! It was lovely to see Ella’s netball medals. I was also grateful to have my own fan. It’s been pretty hot in the office. Thank you for the toy squirrel Grandma. ”

PTFA

The PTFA Team have counted the money in the raisin boxes that were returned and it totalled £211.88! These decorated coins were in one of the boxes. How lovely! Thank you to the children and parents who joined in the raisin money activity.
