On Monday 11th January the Year 1 children – 1L and 1S – went to Hereford school to take part in JUNGLE GYM. They joined children from Littlecoates Primary and Yarborough Primary schools in a fun afternoon of physical activities based around a jungle theme. The children had to walk along slippery logs, crawl through swampy tunnels and jump over lions and crocodiles! They all used lots and lots of energy and got super fit – but best of all, they had lots and lots of fun. It was really nice meeting children from the other schools too. Mrs Langford and Mr Lewis would also like to say a big thank you to the children for being so well behaved.

KS2 has recently had the opportunity to visit St. James church for a christmas service.
We had performances from Chloe Harvey, Alison Mcall, Olivia Scott, Oliver Davies and also our amazing school choir.
Several children were brave enough to stand up and narrate the Nativity which was being performed by some KS1 children.
The audience also joined in by singing
Little Donkey, Starry night, We three kings and away in a manger.

It was amazing!

KS2 had the amazing opportunity to go and watch Jack & Gill and the beanstalk at the Grimsby Auditorium. 5H’s Chloe Harvey was even taking part in this. They had a Crazy Dame trot, A colossal giant, A very ignorant cow called Gerty, and lots more. There were lots of people coming to watch this fantastic performance, including lots of other schools. The performance was very funny, and we all enjoyed it!

KS1 have performed a marvellous play all about the star of Bethlehem. They had a dancing donkey, a marvellous Mary, a Jolly Joseph, some shiny stars and lots more fantastic characters that were brilliant to watch.
KS1 and 2 were here to watch this fantastic play, it was so good that no-one would guess it was only a dress rehearsal!!

It was brilliant!!

Last Thursday South Parade hosted our first open maths evening. The event
packed the hall with interested children and grown ups of all ages. We
have all been focussing on mental strategies for addition and subtraction
this term and this was a successful way of involving parents and carers in
their children’s learning.

After a brief presentation from Mr Jessup, everyone had the chance to
play some of our maths games and go home with a free goody bag of maths
materials.

We have had very positive feed back from those who attended. We hope to
make this a regular event!”
