Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Our Key stage One (Years 1 & 2) performance of the Christmas Recipe, went down a storm - and yes - there was thunder and lightening outside at the time! Brilliant Performance everyone!
The first of our many performances this week (Tuesday 12th) began with a morning of Years 5 & 6 performing The Primary School Christmas Musical. It was very well attended with standing room only by 9.30am. The lively songs were very well sung by them all and the performances from the actors were outstanding! Well done upper Key Stage Two! You were amazing!
Round two of our Christmas lunches at school. The KS2 children love this particular lunchtime as you can see in the photos. Someone had a Christmas lunch for their birthday!
Round 1 of the Christmas lunches. It was the Reception children's first one at our school and we think they all enjoyed it - especially all cheering at the sound of the crackers snapping! Years 1 and 2 had a sing-song while pulling crackers and eating their lunch. They enjoyed being served by our staff 'waiters and waitresses!'
The Year 2 children enjoyed a workshop, spending the day as a Londoner during the Great Fire of London. They used role-play to enact helping put the fire out with buckets. They were also bakers in the Pudding Lane bakeries and wrote diaries as if they were Samuel Pepys. They all knew where he put the cheese to keep it safe!
Reception to Year 3s had a fantastic morning on 5th December (oh yes they did!) watching Chaplins’ Pantomime Cinderella. The children could be heard shouting and screaming from the other end of the building. They laughed and sang (and shouted) with the creative actors who played Cinderella, Buttons, The Two Ugly Sisters, the Fairy Godmother and of course, the very charming Prince Charming. What a way to start this Tuesday!
Mrs Saville's favourite assembly of the year came around again on the 4th December! Years 1 to 6 congregated in the hall for our Christmas Tree Decoration Assembly!
Each class came up with their beautiful, sparkling hand-made decorations and added them to our tree. Once all were in place we made a loud countdown from 5 and switched on the Christmas lights. Everyone's face lit up and we all cheered! Christmas has begun at Joseph Hood!
