The Draw of Duxford!

The Year 6 pupils went off to Duxford on Monday to learn more about the Second World War and the impact this had on Great Britain and the wider world. There was so much information to be absorbed, which the children were able to do, not to mention the ability to board a variety of different planes and military vehicles. 

Halloween may have been in half-term, but this week we were able to bring the pupils' attention towards bonfire night, not just the history of the occasion, but also the importance of the safety needed. A reminder poster was sent out on our social media platform.

It has been beneficial to hold performance management meetings with the teaching and office staff this week being able to review previously set targets and to establish new ones to help improve the school linked to our Federation Improvement Plan. 

The Years 5 and 6 Boys' Football team played against Martham Primary Academy on Thursday and it was a tough afternoon seeing a defeat as the outcome. Sadly, there was a lack of connection between play and a lack of concentration but the boys did not give up. Well done to those playing in a new position for the first time and for the support from the sidelines. We always learn most from a defeat so we go again. Come on Ormesby! 

Next week, is Anti-Bullying Week so on Monday children are encouraged to wear odd socks to commemorate the occasion. We will also be completing some activities to raise the importance of Anti-Bullying and how we do our best to ensure bullying does not occur. It is also the Year 4 parents' information meeting about the Multiplication Check. On Wednesday, we will have our Federation Remembrance event around the village memorial provided the weather is good. Should it not be, we do have an alternative plan in place. All classes are making their contributions so we really hope we can gather together at the memorial. On Friday, we will also be showing our support for Children in Need by wearing non-uniform. 

Have a relaxing weekend everyone!
