In French, children in Team Cowell have been learning how to meet and greet people. Children have been learning to ask how they are, what their name is and to introduce ourselves and say how we are feeling.

Team Walliams enjoyed their music lesson today using the Glockenspiels. The children looked at the different values of notes including a crotchet, minim and semibreves.

A super busy week in Team Walliams- super proud of everyone’s positive attitudes to learning and for always trying your best!

Following Mr Christie’s assembly, Team Donaldson have been focussing on their teamwork skills. The children tried really hard to aim and score as many points as possible by throwing bean bags into different coloured hoops. Children supported each other extremely well and demonstrated great sporting values.

We have certainly got some competitive children in Team Donaldson. 👏👏

This afternoon, Team Cowell have been investigating packaging and looking at the boxes when they are flattered out (nets). The children had a go at putting together the net of a cube to see how it folds and then used their design skills to make our product appealing.

Yesterday, Team Dahl enjoyed a great music lesson. The children listened to the song “Hey You” an old school Hip Hop song.
They used their bodies to find the pulse in song using various actions. After listening to the song, the children  answered questions together using the correct musical language.
Their favourite part was using/playing the glockenspiel when they heard the pulse in the song.

Marvellous Musicians!

Today, year 6 have been discussing online safety and how passwords are extremely important in protecting our personal information and data. We talked about how having a really strong password is vital but how it can be difficult to remember. We came up with a really good strategy to help us remember a really strong password without writing it down as we know we should never do this.

Children from year 5 & 6 attended the Tag Rugby league this evening at Wolsingham school. There were five schools taking part and T.E.A.M Stanley Crook performed extremely well. Players have every reason to be proud of their efforts, positive attitudes and demonstrating excellent sporting values.

Results: 1 win, 1 draw & 1 loss

Well done! 🏉👏👏

Lots of fun happening over the last two days in our key stage one after school clubs with yoga and multi skills!

In this morning’s assembly, we focused on Teamwork.

Each week this year, children and staff will focus on a specific ‘value’ and promote this in and around school. Staff will discuss and encourage the children to find ways in which to demonstrate this ‘value’ in lessons, when playing with their friends and at home with family.

In our Celebration Assembly each Friday, one child – who has demonstrated the weekly value the best – will be awarded a special Values Champion certificate as a reward for their efforts.

The ‘value’ this week in TEAMWORK!

With the start of a new school year, teamwork is central in ensuring we all achieve our goals and support each other when we may find things particularly difficult.

TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More.

The children were absolute superstars in the assembly, as we reflected on our School Mission and discussed the importance of teamwork in and out of school.

We looked at different types of teams and also how various animals rely of teamwork to achieve their goals and support one another.

At the end of the assembly, we all agreed that by working together as a team, we can:

– achieve something we cannot do alone;
– complete something more quickly;
– negotiate and compromise with others;
– support those who are finding it difficult.

Great work, TEAM Stanley Crook! Be proud!

Mr C.
