Core Value Cup Assembly

On Friday morning we held our first cup assembly of the year to celebrate our school’s core values.

Four children from each class (nominated by their teachers and classmates) were recognised for modelling the core values of our school throughout this term and were awarded with medals and certificates.

A cup for each core value – Creativity, Environment, Positive Attitude & Community – was then awarded to each of the overall winners.

The Infant Nativity

Many congratulations to all our infant pupils as they performed to a packed house on Tuesday. They were amazing!

They looked wonderful in their costumes and told the Christmas story confidently with great narration and singing.

What a fantastic encore too!

Many thanks to the staff for all their hard work and for all the support and kind words from families.

Reception Class Nativity Show – Friday 11th December

11/12/2015

The children’s performance of their ‘Wriggly Nativity’ was wonderful to watch and we were all very proud to see them getting up on stage and performing this week.

The children have worked really hard to learn their lines and songs - clear for all to see in a terrific performance.

Well done to Mrs. Akerman, Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Knowles for all their hard work in preparation, but most of all to the children of Oak Tree Class.

Congratulations!

Junior Carol Concert at Holy Trinity

11/12/2015

On the evening of Thursday 10th December there was a great atmosphere as we took Tirlebrook out into the community once again to perform our Junior Carol Concert at Holy Trinity Church.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along – we are sure you will agree that it is great to be able to take the school out into our local community and experience performing in such a lovely venue.

Thank you to Lynn and Stephen and all the wonderful volunteers at Holy Trinity who welcomed us into their church for our concert.

The singing, the readings, the choir and the audience all contributed to making this a special event and the acapella rendition of ‘Silent Night’ was a particular highlight!

Catwalk Superstars

11/12/2015

What a fantastic day some of our KS2 children had on Thursday 10th December at Tewkesbury School.

Natalie, Fraser and Rosie spent the day working in the art department, creating T-shirts based on their sci-fi designs.

In the evening they had the opportunity to strut their stuff on the catwalk, showing off and posing in their T-shirts.

Congratulations to Fraser who was declared the overall winner of ‘Style Wars’ on the night and received a trophy! A great achievement!

Out in the Community

10/12/2015

It was lovely to be able to walk our choir down to Barton Court this week.

The children went to sing some traditional carols and Christmas songs for our friends at Barton Court.

They performed beautifully and then had time to have a chat with the residents before walking back to school.

You may even spot the rainbow that appeared in the sky on our walk back to school.

Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum...

The pantomime has arrived!

Oh yes, it has!

Our school hall was transformed into a live theatre show this morning as the children enjoyed a traditional pantomime - Jack and the Beanstalk.

It was a fantastic show and a great experience!

Jet Speed

7/12/2015

What a fantastic day Year 5 had, learning all about the history of flight and what forces act on different vehicles.

Rowan Class designed and created battery powered buggies which they then raced at the end of the day.

In order to create really fast buggies, they needed to think really hard about the aerodynamics of their designs.

Mr Kettle, who led the propulsion workshop, was fantastic. He inspired and engaged everybody in the class and the children had a brilliant day.

Women’s England Football Game - Sunday 29th November

3/12/2015

What a fantastic opportunity for some of our pupils in Y4, Y5 and Y6 to visit Ashton Gate in Bristol, the home of Bristol City Football Club, to watch the England Women's football team, also known as the Lionesses, compete.

On arrival, the children were able to spend a few minutes exploring the FanZONE where many different activity stations had been set up, including football skills, reaction skills, refereeing skills and even 'Beat the Goalie'. Some players from the Bristol Women's Academy were also on hand to talk to the children about their experiences of playing at such a high standard. We even had the chance to meet the England Lionesses mascot!

The atmosphere inside the stadium was great as over 13,000 people had turned up to support the Lionesses in their first home match since returning in a triumphant third-place from the World Cup.

England went on to win the game 1-0 with a goal being thundered in by substitute Jill Scott. It was a great day!
