It’s Red Nose Day on Friday! Here’s a copy of the note children were given.
Remember to bring your £1 donation. Can’t wait to see what you are all going to wear!
Comic Relief started in the 1980s and it is the 25th anniversary of Red Nose Day this year. Look out for school staff wearing 1980s clothes on Friday!
On Wednesday 6th March we celebrated World Maths Day in school. Key Stage One and Two children were able to log on to the World Games website and had lots of fun competing against children from around the World. We had tangrams, cookery and puzzles throughout the day.
A fun time was definitely had by all. You could say…mathstastic!

Nightingales have entered the Easter Bonnet competition at Hobbycraft in Retail World on the Team Valley. I’m sure you’ll agree our entry looks absolutely marvellous. We need your support by voting for us, in store, from Monday 11th March to Friday 22nd March for our school to win the £100 Hobbycraft Hamper. Get voting!
…it won’t be long before it’s GONE!
Nightingales decided to make the most of the snow and have FUN!
Here are some tasks to keep you busy – write some snowy sentences using capital letters, full stops, adjectives and connectives. Remember to read your book and look at your maths target and practise that with an adult to help you.
Many thanks to those who supported Movie Night. There were 132 children who came along to watch ‘Polar Express.’
Donations raised £142 which will be going to ‘Aquila Way’, a local charity helping those in need (adults, if you want to learn more about this charity, click on the link below)
My thanks also go to the members of school staff who gave up their time to help supervise the children. School councillors also helped with the organisation of the night. Merry Christmas to all (and to all a good night!)
This week we have been celebrating anti-bullying week, where a variety of activities and tasks have been on the go! From assemblies, sharing Key Stage One and Two yards, designing friendship frames, anti-bullying posters and slogans.
As part of the week we ran a competition in Key Stage One and Two which was to design an anti-bullying poster and promote the role of our ‘Listening Buddies’ in school.
Well done to all of the winners – a tremendous effort!
I know how much you all love using the laptops and ICT suite whilst in school and developing your learning through games. Well, to help continue your learning at home, why not have a look at some of these maths games I have come across – simply click on the link below!

You could even show off your skills to an adult at home!
I can’t wait to read your comments.
Happy maths games!

Wedding number two in KS1 took place in Nightingales. What a great afternoon we had.
As promised on the back of the leaflets going out on Friday, here is some extra information about the programme starting in school next week. Don’t forget – you have the opportunity to ask your child’s class teacher about this at open evenings.
In our science lesson we labelled full size diagrams to help us find out about parts of our body. We worked in small teams, drew around one person and then used a word bank to label the parts. As you can see it was great fun (and we learned a lot too!)
In our maths lessons we have been learning how to partition 2 digit numbers to help us add. Partition just means split the 2 digits to find out the value of each one. We have used place value cards and games to help us with our learning.
This academic year we will be continuing our fantastic work with
Sustrans and the FEAT First project. Last year this involved pedal free biking,
Nordic walking, pedometer challenges and Walk, Wheel Wednesday. To kick start
our activities this year Emma Spence, our FEAT First officer, will be in school
on Wednesday 26th September to repair bikes belonging to Key Stage One
children. Watch out for the flier coming your way next week…
To help The Queen celebrate 60 years on the throne we had a red, white and blue day in school. We were all dressed to impress! We decided to mark the event by making a WN60. What do you think of our creative efforts? I’m sure the Queen would be ‘Jubilee-ous’ about it!
