Times Tables Rockstars

Everyone in 4a was given a team point as 94% of the class had been in action this week.

Lathan and Rosie were awarded Gone Green certificates.

Overall accuracy awards were given to George (1^st), Alice L (2^nd) and Charlie B (3^rd) 

Attendance

This week saw three classes receive spins of the attendance wheel… Key Stage 2 winners 4A, runners-up 4L and Key Stage 1 winners Starlings. Well done everyone.

A special mention to Owls class who outperformed everyone with a fantastic 99.2%. Something to really celebrate!

Team Points

A very interesting week for our team points! It doesn’t happen very often but we have three teams tied. Although Stirling remain our leaders, Windsor, Stormont and Caernarfon all share second place! 12 points separate the reds, greens and yellows from the first-placed blues.

For the week, Caernarfon and Stirling shared the spoils in Key Stage 1 and Stormont won in Key Stage 2.

Good luck for the rest of October everyone!

Havens Hospices and Waddle-on-Sea

Just a reminder that we would love to see photographs of the children with the Waddle-on-Sea penguins (big or small). We know that there were some problems with receiving emails last week so, if you tried to send photos in, please can we ask that you resend them to the same address: 

waddle@fps.porticoacademytrust.co.uk

We will look forward to seeing lots of lovely pictures. Thank you.

Achievements Outside of School

Reminder: It is always lovely to hear about the children’s achievements outside of school. Often when we hear about lovely things, we share these stories in our Celebration Assemblies. Should your child ever do something away from school that you would like us to know about and celebrate, please do email the school office. For example, it could be that they have had success with their sports team, completed a challenge or raised money for charity. 

Lost Property

Please, please, please name clothing that comes into school. The photo shows a pile of jumpers and cardigans from one day this week… all unnamed which makes it almost impossible to return items to owners. Thank you.
