The children have been busy bees in Nursery and we really got our brains whirring away this morning for the school’s Maths Puzzle Day. We completed lots of jigsaw puzzles, we had to work out how to continue repeating patterns, we built boxes with magnetic shapes big enough to hold a soft toy inside and did lots of construction with building bricks. The children demonstrated great perseverance and problem solving.
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their first library visit of the year!Â
We felt very lucky to be able to spend time in prayer and reflection with our prayer friends this afternoon.
We spoke about Mission Month and prayed for God to help us make our school, homes and community a better place.
We then looked at the Month of the Holy Rosary and made a class set of Rosary beads, one for Reception and one for Year Six, to help us to pray the Rosary in our classrooms this.
We have been having a great week in Year 2. In Forest school we made a shelter, making sure it was covered to protect animals from rain and predators. In PE we worked as a team to follow instructions and made faces with PE equipment.
In Maths, we have been comparing and ordering numbers before starting our unit of addition and subtraction next week. In English we have written our autobiographies and started writing a character description about Mr Fox. In RE we read psalms and retold the story of Daniel and the lions, thinking about how much we trust God.
We have been making the most of the fine weather this week and have taken the opportunity to play and learn outside as much as we can. Nursery are loving making new friends and exploring our indoor and outdoor setting. The children had their first P.E lesson in the hall with Miss Jade on Tuesday and they were absolutely fantastic; they had great fun and were brilliant at following instructions. The children have come up with some great ideas about how to make our teepee even cosier, including blankets, cushions, teddies, books and fairy lights, so watch this space!
Our Ofsted inspection took place on Friday 1st July 2022.
It went extremely really well, and the report has now been published.
We are now delighted to be able to share with you that All Sorts received outstanding judgements in all areas: The quality of education, Behaviour and attitudes, Personal development, Leadership and management.
We are extremely proud of the outcome of the report, Outstanding judgements are very hard to obtain, and it is testament to the hard work of the entire team who strive to provide quality childcare every day.

We finally got to perform at Young Voices last night, with 120 other schools and 6000 children in total. We had a fantastic time and made our singing teachers very proud in terms of our performance but also our impeccable behaviour!
Well done to all the choir children for your committment and effort that you have put into learning the songs. Hopefully you’re not too tired today!
Please note that our Thursday afterschool rehearsals will stop and we will begin again on Thursday lunchtimes after the half term break where the choir will open up to new members!
As we prepare for Pentecost in Nursery, we have been learning about The Holy Spirit. We have learnt that The Holy Spirit is God’s helper and our helper ,and just like the wind and air, it is a powerful force that we can feel but we can’t see. To demonstrate this concept we did different activities to show the power of air by blowing out candles, having a balloon race by moving balloons by waving pieces of card, using fans to move marbles around, blowing through straws to move feathers, blowing bubbles and making bubble prints.
Praying for all of our Year 6 children today as they begin their week of SATs.
They’ve all worked so hard and we are already so proud of the commitment and resilience they have shown this year. We know they will give them their best shot and continue to make us all, and themselves, extremely proud!
You’ve got this, Year 6. Keep shining bright and smiling!
Chill Out Day
PS. To celebrate the end of SATs week and to give the children a well-deserved break, we will be having a chill-out day on Friday 13th May. Year 6 are invited to come into school wearing their pyjamas or comfies ready for a day of movies and time enjoying each others’ company outside (weather permitting!).
