91传媒

It has been another action packed, productive week here in Primary. We waved goodbye to our FOBISIA U11 squad who are currently representing 91传媒 in Thailand, and are excelled themselves across the different sporting events. We are very excited to welcome them back to class next week and hear all about their achievements.

On campus, we have been continuing with our fascinating work on our IPC unit, the Sustainable Development Goals. Children across the key stages have been investigating specific goals linked to literacy units previously studied and they are preparing to share their learning and development of understanding next week during the parent showcases. It is a wonderful way to share the learning and we look forward to welcoming parents and carers on site next week to showcase the amazing projects and learning journeys across the year groups.

Our House Captains have been busy at work organising a Bring and Buy Sale for our community partners which will take place on Tuesday 7th May on the driveway from 2pm to 3pm. They have been organising advertising, informing students of the event and gathering nearly new items to sell. All proceeds will go to our community partner schools, so please donate any nearly new items you may have, and join us for the sale as well!

We are very proud of the Year 3 students for their family assembly last week. The children shared their learning about various topics from across the year to show others about the wonderful topics covered in 3B and 3W. Some children read their own exciting versions of texts that they have studied this year, showing remarkable writing skills and everyone showcased their technical drawings of flowers that were inspired by the artist Margaret Mee. The assembly ended with a powerful message about working together to change the world and to achieve the SDGs which is the current IPC topic that children across Primary are working on. The children hope that everyone felt inspired by their song 鈥楾ogether We Can Change the World鈥�. Well done Year 3!

More than 10% of the secondary section of the school are now enrolled in the secondary choir. Under the directorship of music teacher Ms Freeman they have been preparing a number of pieces to contribute to the Kathmandu Chorale concert at Lincoln this evening (prior ticketing only) or at 91传媒 at 5.30pm Saturday (tickets on the door). Do come tomorrow and see the 91传媒 choir resplendent in the news stylish PAWS polo shirts and hear them raise the roof.

Additional Learning Needs (ALN) Parent Information Session (PIS)

Ms Smithers and the ALN team are running a PIS next Friday on neurodiversity and ALN in the 91传媒 secondary section. Please come to the library on Friday 10th May at 8.15 am to find out more.

Key Stage 5 Yeti treats

Year 12 and Year 13 students enjoyed a surprise at break time today. The pastoral team treated students to a complimentary drink or snack from the Yeti caf茅 in recognition of full attendance in this first full week of exams. We look forward to awarding more treats next Friday!

Staff Professional Learning

We have an ongoing programme of regular training for staff. Thank you also to Ms Williams who is running a series of pre-school Professional Learning sessions to complement our regular sessions. The additional training showcases keynote speeches from the World Education Summit. A good number of secondary teachers, including the whole ALN team, were tempted by the promise of a stimulating lecture and some morning coffee. This week鈥檚 speaker was Carol Tomlinson on the topic 鈥淒ifferentiation – is it a waste of time?鈥� Given that Carol is credited with first coining the term differentiation, we assumed the answer was no but enjoyed listening to her unpick the topic and reflect on how teachers can allow students to be real champions of their own learning.

Over the past fortnight, the Z-Club engaged in two informative sessions with our Year 6 students, discussing menstruation, breaking taboos, and fostering a supportive environment during this natural process. The students showcased their creativity through artwork reflecting on “Periods,” and actively participated in engaging games and quizzes. We extend our gratitude to all involved!
