Issue 30


 
We have reached the end of the first half of the summer term. This week our Lacrosse team competed in the regional tournament in Guildford. I'm delighted to report that the team have been successful in reaching the National Finals for the second year in a row - a huge achievement! The sporting achievements at Poverest continue to be wide-ranging with a great day of cricket for the boys' team at Old Wilsonians.
Everyone at Poverest wishes you all a wonderful half term and we look forward to welcoming you all back on Tuesday 4th June at the usual times. Monday the 3rd is an Inset Day for the staff again. We shall work on our curriculum on the Inset Days to enhance creativity and engagement in delivering the National Curriculum at Poverest.
 
Many thanks,
Paul Haylock 

Focus Week - Reception

Last week Willow class went on a trip to Romshed farm to support our growing topic. We had a great day with Fidelity the farmer, learning all about how she farms. We were very lucky and were able to stroke a 3 day old lamb and we took a 5 day old calf for a walk! We went digging in the soil to find and identify different types of worms. We went walking in the fields to collect wild flowers, which we brought back to school to sketch. We finished off the day nicely by having a turn on a tractor.
