Sutton Courtenay Environment Education Centre (SCEEC)

Class 1 & 2 pupils visited SCEEC, a 19 acre nature reserve with woodland, meadow and ponds which is a haven for wildlife even in the depths of winter. A skilled education team led our day, engaging our pupils’ heads, hearts and hands as they learnt respect for the natural world and how wild animals survive.

K’Nex Workshop

Class 3 & 4 pupils were given an introduction to the exciting world of engineering by using K’Nex to produce a solution for a given problem. Mr Dorey led the workshop and the pupils experimented with structures, gears and other mechanisms while modelling their design.  The pupils were also introduced to some of the careers that are associated with STEM and some of the routes into these careers.

Stand by me

We are excited to now have a link to Bethany School in Ethiopia.  Throughout the year we will be exchanging communications with Bethany School and fundraising for them.  We have installed a sign-post on the field to direct our attention to the local area and to represent important people in our lives such as family and friends. It also sign-posts the direction of Bethany School in Ethiopia and their pupils and staff who will be in our hearts and minds going forward.  The School Council have also written a School Prayer for the pupils and staff at Bethany School. We are excited with this link and we will be exchanging communications, updates and photographs with Bethany School.   We are very much wanting the children to take ownership of this project and each class will be planning and promoting fund-raising initiatives throughout the year to raise money for Bethany School.   Thank you for your generous donations this week (£116.00 was raised) and everyone looked very colourful dressed in the colours of the Ethiopian flag!

Safer Internet Day

SAFER INTERNET DAY This year’s global theme was Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and changes online It focuses on smaller changes that can happen online and on devices every day, such as a screen pop-up, a familiar character looking different or a video clip change.  We will be discussing with the children the importance of keeping safe and who to talk to if they have an online safety concern.

STEM Week

We celebrated STEM Week (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in January.  Within their mixed age family groups, the whole school took part in a number of practical activities and challenges using many different STEM skills whilst also focusing on our values for the week ‘Patience and Tolerance.'

Christmas Celebrations

This year Class One and Two performed the Nativity Play ‘Rock the Baby’ and we raised £172.10 for Play2Give’s Christmas Appeal ‘Sleigh2Give.’  This charity provides presents to children in hospital, low income families, vulnerable children and those with disabilities throughout Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Berkshire. Our Christmas Service at St Faith’s church was held at the very end of the term.  The children in Class 3 led the service and used shadow puppets to re-tell the birth of Jesus.  We sang several carols, the Choir performed, the staff read Bible readings and led the whole school in pray. It was a joyous occasion.

Anti-Bullying Week

We had a very positive Anti-Bullying Week which focused on this year’s message ‘Make a Noise about Bullying.’ Across the school we have been delivering lessons,  assemblies and different cross-activities to remind everyone whether it’s in school, at home or in the community to make a noise and put a stop to bullying.

Watermill Theatre – The Wizard of Oz

We all enjoyed our visit to the Watermill Theatre to see The Wizard of Oz.  It was a charming musical adventure full of surprises, laughter and wonder.  The children are always captivated by the stage set, the actors and actresses in their wonderful costumes and all the different musical instruments that the cast play.   We would like to thank FoSS for covering the cost of the coach transport for this event.
