In the Press

It’s World Smile Day today and it was so easy to find lots of photos of smiley children, as St Ives is such a happy place.  Being kind and considerate to others is integral to everything we do here, but Miss Smith’s assembly this morning will be covering the background to World Smile Day and reminding everyone to “Do an act of kindness. Make one person SMILE”

We’ve been learning all about houses in the Nursery this week.  We’ve talked about moving house, the different types of houses there are and counting windows and doors.  We’ve even built our own houses!

We had a wonderful MacMillan Coffee Morning on Friday as we welcomed parents back into the building after far too long.  Noise levels were at all all time high!  Thank you so much to everyone who supported us & helped us raise over £430 for this fantastic cause.

Thank you very much to St Ives parent, Mrs Pearce, who came in to see our Reception class today as part of our topic on ‘People Who Help Us’.  Mrs Pearce is a barrister and explained the justice system to the children and the role barristers play within it.  She also dressed up in the clothes she wears at work and let us try on her gown and feel her wig!  Thank you so much Mrs Pearce for a fascinating talk and for answering all the children’s questions so patiently.

In Forest School, Reception enjoyed using the magnifying glasses to look closely at everything they could see.  They spotted dew drops on the grass, bark on the trees, the detail on lots of different leaves and minibeasts and even spotted a frog!  They loved exploring the forest this way!

Year 4 created amazing musical instruments as part of their sound topic in Science .  They each gave a presentation describing how they made their instruments, explaining the sound pathway, volume and pitch.  Great work Year 4!

Year 1 had a fantastic day visiting Arundel Castle yesterday.  They explored inside the castle and enjoyed a dragon hunt in the beautiful gardens.  A fantastic first trip of the year for Year 1!

Yesterday we celebrated turning 110! 

its' so exciting to be able to invite other schools to St Ives to play sport again after so long!  Thank you Conifers School for a great afternoon of Netball for our U8s & U9s mixed teams.  Well played everyone!

Thank you to St Catherine's Bramley for organising a fantastic cross-country run this week.  It was a brilliant start to the season and amazing to be able to compete against other schools again.  We loved it! Special mention to our Year 4 girls for coming third, but a very promising start for everyone.
