William Byrd enjoyed Art Day on Thursday 18th October. Each year group created their masterpieces that tied into their learning for this term. The whole school from Nursery to Year 6 participated in a range of skills from drawing, painting, collage and much more! Everyone enjoyed the day (regardless of how messy!) and all the children got the chance to show off their creative skills and unique imaginations!
Year 4 had Roman Day on Wednesday 17th October. The children were invited to come to school in Roman clothes and we saw some fantastic costumes. The children spent the day learning about how Romans lived and even had a Roman Banquet!
Our Year 5 children have started their journey to Disneyland Paris this morning. Watch this space for daily updates!
To celebrate National Poetry Day (4th October 2018) we took part in Poetry Wonderland. We saw some amazing poems from our children and to celebrate their hard work and creativity we picked the best poem from each class. The lucky winners were presented with a certificate in our Celebration Assembly on Friday 12th October. Well done to our young writers!
We had a non-uniform day on Friday 5th October to help raise funds to get new playground markings for our children. Playground markings are an ideal opportunity to help children learn whilst they play. They are designed to encourage mathematics, alphabet and social skills through fun games and imaginative play. We are very pleased to announce we managed to raise an amazing £930! Thank you so much for your generosity and support.
To celebrate National Poetry Day on Thursday 4th October this year we participated in Poetry Wonderland. Poetry Wonderland is a national writing competition and is run by Young Writers. Children were able to explore poetic themes in a fun and exciting way before writing their own original poem. The theme was open, so children could decide what they’d like to write about.
After the competition has closed, entries will go to the Editorial department, who create regional books and they will read every single poem they receive. The school with the best set of entries will win the Young Writers’ Award of Excellence, which we can showcase in our school. The winning poems may even get published!
