Running in the rain !

Posted on November 13th, 2019

Cross Country November 2019

@ West Norfolk Rugby Club

On Tuesday 20 boys and girls, from years 2-6, took part in this event alongside children from 17 other schools. On arriving it was dry though cold but once the intructions for the morning were out of the way the rain began and the wind got up. It proved to be rather unpleasant and conditions underfoot slippery but the children carried on racing, producing some good results, all finishing in the top 25 for their respective group. The races for year 2 were more for fun but places were given out and they all finished in the top 20 which was a brilliant result. For the other year groups, only the top 10 placed children go on, to the next round in January. Elliot finished 10^th and goes forward but there were several children who finished very close in 11^th, 12^th and 13^th places.

Despite the awful weather they said they had enjoyed taking part but were glad to get back in the warm after, I was too! Thank you to Mrs Day for coming along.

Well done!

TRI-GOLF SUCCESS

Posted on April 3rd, 2019

TRI-GOLF

On Tuesday 2^nd April, 10 Year 1 & 2 pupils attended a Tri-Golf tournament of cluster schools at Lynnsport.

At the event, pupils from 10 different schools had to complete eight different tri-golf activities. They had a five minute time for each activity and scores were awarded for different targets.

Scores were totaled up for all of the activities and the team with the highest score went through to the next round.

The talented Sandringham & West Newton drew second place in the Year 1 & 2 category, which was a fabulous achievement!

Well done to all involved.

Also, a special thank-you to Mrs Marson and Mrs Collison for taking the children and supporting them throughout the morning.

KS1 trip to Amazona Zoo.

Posted on July 22nd, 2018

Our trip to Amazona zoo was a real success. The weather was brilliant and allowed us to picnic outside, and play on the giant bouncy pillows in the afternoon. We saw many animals indigenous to the continent of South America, including caimans, toucans, capybaras and leafcutter ants.

KS1 Brazilian Assembly

Posted on July 22nd, 2018

Our KS1 assembly went superbly. The children put so much work into making it a fabulous display for their parents. The topic has covered many aspects of the curriculum, with a particular focus on Geography and Design and Technology. The children have looked at the human and physical features that Brazil has and then compared them with Scotland.

They have looked at the seven continents and identified Brazil within South America. They have learnt about the Amazon Rainforest; the animals that live there, the four layers of the forest and the threats to its ecology.

The Design and Technology came from our tie-dye T.shirts- which all turned out fantastically, the traditional Brazilian street food;pastels (minced beef parcels) and paja de queso (cheesy bread) and our amazing famous Brazilian people puppets that the children had designed and made through their homework and in class.

Fantastic sporty morning for KS1 at Active Kids Festival

Posted on February 19th, 2018

KS1 class has an amazing sporty morning at Lynnsport’s Active kids festival on Monday morning. They were taking part with pupils from Flitcham Primary Academy and were organised into 3 mixed groups for a rotation of activities, that kept them busy all morning. They enjoyed running, jumping and team games, but by far the most popular were the parachute games. A great time was had by all and the school received a pack of resources to use back in school, along with certificates for every child taking part.
