Friday 12th February

February 13, 2016/0 Comments/in Mr Spong's Blog /by sadleir2021

There was a lot of love going on this week in school.  D6 started it all off with an informative assembly about who St Valentine waIMG_2779s
and the history of the celebration as well as the different customs around the world.  Today’s assembly extended that idea into relationships; the different types and the things you need to do to maintain them – ask your children what some of them were.  Even the kitchen staff got involved with a ‘lovely’ display.

The Year 6s have been busy this week doing some practice tests to give them some preparation for their SATs in May.  We are trying to make them as prepared as possible although the information about the new style tests and expectations coming from the Government is sketchy at best.  This week writing examples were released and when Mrs Brown and Mrs McIver took them to a moderation meeting with other teachers from other primary and secondary schools in Hertfordshire, the secondary teachers said they’d be pleased if their Year 8s wrote like that!!  Today they rounded off their week by going to Crucial Crew to learn about being safe and staying safe.  Personal safety was also a theme of the week in ICT as this linked into work around Safer Internet Day on Tuesday.

In short: the Year 5s had a brilliant treasure hunt, there were geographical board games being made, Year 8s were beingIMG_0799 stitched up – I mean were stitching up their drawstring bags in technology and were writing balanced arguments on contentious topics and the Year 7s were finishing up with fractions, decimals and percentages whilst learning about microbes.

Sportwise there were wins for the Year 8 netball teams and both the Year 7 and Year 8 football teams.  The Year 8 boys success in the National Cup was reported in the Hertfordshire Mercury this week and they are off to the south coast on the Monday we return to play their Quarter-final match – fingers crossed and we wish them well.

We had some hellos and goodbyes this week as Mrs Murfet returned from her maternity leave, sadly that means we had to say goodbye to Miss Chandler – who has made a big impact in school and we thank her for all her effort and wish her well for the future.

Sadleir (Well most of them) were also loving school today as they had earned a non-uniform day (Well, judging by the number of boys in Hype tracksuits and hoodies you’d think it was the new school uniform!!IMG_0798) by claiming merits – over 1200 by the end of the week in fact; fantastic effort and well done for claiming them all; there have been over 4500 claimed merits so far this academic year but special congratulations should go to Sophie K in Year 6 who is the first to achieve her Platinum Certificate for 60 Merits.

 

A good relationship is about two things: firstly appreciating the similarities and secondly respecting the differences – have a lovely weekend and week off (Parents – tag you’re it!!!!!!!!!)

Friday 5th February

Today started with Mr Palmen giving a hard-hitting assembly on e-safety and introducing Internet Safety Week in school.  He talked about ways to make sure you can stay safe online and what to do if you think something is wrong.  Perhaps the most interesting piece of information was surrounding Instagram and after revealing how many children in each year group had said they had an account he shared with us point 1 from the Instagram terms and conditions and the fact that only 24 children in school should technically have an account!!

On Wednesday we had the leaders from the The Village Youth Club deliver an assembly on democracy as well as do a little sales pitch for their sessions at the Community Centre on Sundays from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.

Today was ‘Wear it Red’ to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, which was a really worthwhile cause suggested by one of our families.

This week saw the return of the House Leagues for both football and netball in Key Stage 3.  The children take on many different roles other than just players, such as coaches, referees and even match reporters; earning bonus points depending on how well they do.  Over the coming weeks I will try to keep you updated on how things are going.  There was lots of other sport going on this week with our Year 6 girls football team coming a creditable 3rd in the District Tournament but playing some good football and having great fun.  Our Year 8 girls netball team beat Edwinstree and the Year 8 boys beat Hockerill at basketball.

There was much excitement in at least one third of Year 5 this week as following on from the cakes and cookies C5  made last week to raise money for endangered species, a rather exciting box arrived.  As a result of all their hard work they have been able to adopt a Giant Panda and a Snow Leopard from the WWF and a Barn Owl and Door Mouse from the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. They will receive adoption certificates for each of the animals and updates on their conservation and development.

Congratulations go to Jake P from Year 5, Daniel H from Year 6, Macey D from Year 7 and Nathan B from Year 8 who were the Ralphies of the month for January.  Special mention must also go to Sophie K from Year 6 who is the first to receive a Platinum Certificate for 60 Merits and the first House has triggered a reward for total claimed merits which they will be receiving this week.

At this point we should all spare a thought for the Year 6s ready for next week when they do their practice SATs, to counteract this they do have some exciting trips coming up…more on that to come in

later Blogs.

Have a good weekend.
