We have had a busy week!

Congratulations to all Year 6 pupils for performing their spectacular show this week - Rock Bottom!  It was fabulous to see them all performing so brilliantly and I was super proud of them all!

The House Points were all counted up and the House winners were announced yesterday in our Celebration Assembly - Congratulations to Red House for winning the House Cup. A great achievement.

Durham Music Service woodwind group performed some familiar tunes yesterday in a woodwind group. They introduced the names of the instruments and demonstrated sounds and skills needed to play each one.

The children enjoyed their transition days and it was lovely to see Parents visiting their new classroom and meeting the Teachers.

I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday and look forward to seeing everyone on Thursday 5th September

Kind regards

Mrs B Smith

Hello everyone,

Its been a fun week at FMPS this week.

Today we had a very special visitor come to nursery, The ice cream man! The children all brought in £1.50 in a purse or wallet and were able to visit the ice cream van to buy their own ice cream. They could choose a Mr Whippy with a flake and add some yummy strawberry sauce on the top. The rain didn’t stop us from all enjoying a yummy ice cream and the children all had so much fun.

On Thursday 11th July the children performed their music skills to the rest of the school.

Pupils performed on many instruments including the violin, guitar, keyboard, flue and voice.

The children demonstrated their amazing talents and clearly practise hard to be skilful and true musicians.

Leo was awarded the Music Award trophy in recognition of working hard and practising in order to continually improve and grow as a musician.

Well done to all of the children and keep practising! I cannot wait to see and hear your talents again next year.

Fun in Jaguars

This week we have had fun with a range of exciting lessons. In English, we have been developing our speaking and listening skills through the use of role play interviews. We looked at the purpose and audience of different interviews (linking to different careers too) and then had a go at interviewing players and spectators from football matches.

In science we have been learning about life cycles, we researched our chosen life cycle and taught the rest of the class in our own way e.g. poem, rap, PowerPoint or acted it out.
