Harvest Live Lesson

Year 4 have had our live lesson from a farmer to tell us all about harvest time. We learnt how crops are harvested, how flour is made and we saw how much work goes into the food we eat.

In English, the Year 3 children enjoyed creating their own fires to replicate the fires that people from the Stone Age would have used to cook with, keep warm and scare animals away. They used craft materials to build their fires and then made notes for each of the steps they made. They will use their notes over the next 2 weeks to write their own instructions for how to build a fire.

Dear Parents/Carers,

It’s almost the end of another school year and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very happy holiday and well-deserved break.

I am also writing to notify you that when your child/children return to school for the beginning of the new academic year on Thursday 2nd September 2021, we will be reverting back to our ‘old’ start and finish times that we had prior to the pandemic. These will be as follows:

8.40am – First bell will ring, school gates will be opened and children will be allowed into school

8.50am – A second bell will ring for Registration

3.15pm – School bell will ring to signal the end of the school day

If you have any questions or queries with regard to the timings of the school day, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Mrs L Reed

Deputy Headteacher

This week is local heritage week. We have been thinking about key landmarks and places in Boston. We have been making large scale maps using train tracks, construction materials and mark making materials. We have also been thinking about our journey to school and what we see along the way. Also the children used their observation and field work skills to map out the surroundings of our school. We learnt about the different compass points and then sat in different places around the school (North, East, South and West) and drew what we could see. I’m sure you’ll agree that the children have produced some fantastic work from this. They are able to remember lots of key facts about Boston and its surroundings!

On Friday 25th June, both Yr 2 classes went on a walk to The Guildhall. The trip was aimed at helping the children with their Topic ‘Voyages of Discovery and the Pilgrim Fathers’. The children learnt lots of interesting information and are now writing a recount of the day.

On Friday 25th June, the Reception children held a Pirate Day. The costumes were fantastic and the children had an amazing time. They did plenty of pirate themed activities such as writing messages in a bottle, drawing maps, making pirate hats and telescopes and then a treasure hunt. #aspire

During lockdown, the children were asked to create posters to make people aware of how important seatbelt safety is and why we must always use seatbelts. PC Tim and his Manager came into school last week to give some of our year 5 and 6 pupils a certificate and a gift for their fantastic posters! We are very proud of our students and their fantastic seatbelt safety posters will be used to remind the public how important seatbelts are. Three of our children won a certificate and a gift voucher and one of them won a star prize of a scooter, knee pads and a helmet. Well done!

This week the Year 1 children were lucky enough to have a session with the discovery sport team. The session they took part in was called ‘Maths on the Move’. The children had to use their mathematic knowledge and use it whilst completing some sport activities. In this session, the children looked at shapes. They moved around the shapes that were made on the floor with a stick and ball or bat and bean bag. The children then had to work as a team using themselves to make the shapes on the floor. Some great teamwork and shape knowledge seen. Well done Owls & Hedgehogs!
