Year 2 celebrate St Lucia's day

Year 2 have been learning about different celebrations.


They decided to celebrate St Lucia's day. The oldest girl in each class dressed up in a white robe with a sash and wore a crown of evergreen leaves and candles.




























St Lucia and led a parade around the classroom offering food to her peers.





















They also learnt to sing a song in Swedish which is traditionally sung on St Lucia's day.

New whiteboard easels!

We would like to say a huge thank you to our wonderful FOBs who have bought new whiteboard easels for the classrooms. The teachers and children are enjoying using their new boards to help them with modelling and sharing good writing.

Move over Spielberg!...

The children of belle Vue would like to say a huge thank you to FOBS for their recent purchase of three FLIP video cameras for curriculum use. The children are really looking forward to improving their speaking and listening skills by videoing themselves and critiquing their performances. Who knows, maybe the next Hollywood blockbuster will be filmed here!

PSCOs come to visit Year 1.

Year 1 were very well behaved - our local Police Community Support Officers have been for a visit.

PCSO Paul and PCSO Jade told us all about their job and how they keep us safe.

We tried on some of their uniform - the jacket was really heavy!

Move over Sir Alan!

This term, a group of pupils from Year Two have participated in an 'Enterprise Challenge.' They established their own business (The Crazy Christmas Cracker Co.) and developed a range of products to sell at the School Christmas Fair. Not only did they have to advertise their products by creating eye-catching and informative posters but they also had to decide what price to charge...bearing in mind that they wanted to make a profit!

In the end, their range of crackers and seasonal door wreaths sold incredibly quickly, helped by the extremely proficient sales technique of Cassandra and James! They made a total profit of £17.50 and will now meet to decide how the money will be spent!

Well done Year Two and ... watch out Sir Alan, we might have to say: 'Your Fired!'
