The Big Soup
The Big Soup event went really well with parents and children turning up after school to taste the soup the children had made in their enrichment lessons. Most of the produce was home grown in our school grounds which made it extra special.
Many parents requested the 3 different reciepes for our yummy soup so here they are…
First Times Table Rock Stars of the term! Well done for achieving the most lifetime earnings in your year group.
Frimley helped to support Children in Need today and as a school we raised an amazing £420.
The well-being team planned a fun day for the school where children and staff wore their PJ’s for the day and they made healthy fruit pots to sell at break time, with all the proceeds going towards Children in Need. Each year group also went to the hall to take part in the ‘Children In Need Big Morning Move’, hosted by Joe Wicks
Goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye and good luck to our lovely Year 6 children. We wish you the best of luck in your new adventure.
Here is your leavers’ video to help you to remember your time and friends at Frimley Junior School.
Sadly, it’s also time to say goodbye to our Year 3 leader Mrs Peters, it was an emotional day for both children and adults but I think our word definition quiz gave her a send off she will never forget! Good luck Mrs Peters in your new school and don’t forget us here at Frimley.
In our final assembly, we also said goodbye to Reverend Phil, who has been a governor and support to our school for 7 years. We wish you well on your next adventure Phil.

World Book Day
We love Wold Book Day here at Frimey and love getting in the spirit of the day, this year we held a HERO theme. Our costumes were amazing and it was interesting to see which literacy characters we all saw as heroes. We spent the afternoon emersed in reading – each teacher chose a book to read and we all mixed up around the school depending on which story we wanted to hear. We were also lucky enough to have some heroes coming in to spend some time with us talking about what they do and answering our questions.

We took a team of 19 (10 boys and 9 girls) to Guildford Spectrum for the year 5 and 6 Surrey Heathl Athletics Competition. We all took part in a variety of track events and field events. We were scored and timed in the events and all of our scores contributed to our overall total. We all cheered each other on and we completed several team events where we all tried our best for the team. We had lots of first and second place finishes and we were proud of our performances because it was the first time a lot of us had competed. At the end, they announced the places in reverse order and out of the 10 schools- WE WON!! It was the first time Frimley have ever won the event and we are soon going to be preparing for the inter-county finals.

Christmas fair, choir and carols around the tree
Monday afternoon started with fun and games as each class created and ran 2 stalls per class (a game and a craft stall). The children had an amazing time walking round the school, visiting the different stalls and spending their money; The children’s stalls raised £818. After school the choir gave an amazing performance, showcasing their Christmas songs. As the event came to a close, the whole school and our families joined into the Christmas spirit as we sang Christmas carols in torch light around the tree.
A huge thank you to the FPTA who organised and ran many stalls of their own, you raised an incredible £2641 for our school.

On 14th December the whole school (children, staff and parents) joined together to raise money for our school charity SSAFA, we had to dress in camouflage clothing (or Christmas jumpers!) and run/walk/skip/prance around the school running track for 30 minutes. As you can see from the photos, fun was had by all
This week the teachers chose a child from each year group who has shown perseverance and a great attitude towards their times tables.

Our Frimley passports are a way of showing how we have achieved our school values.
On each page we have a different value and a set of challenges to try and complete. Each year must try and complete a certain amount of them (yr3 is 3, yr4 is 4, etc). These include things like, ‘use resources independently’ from the value ‘learning together and independently’.
Once you have completed the correct amount, you can take the passport home and write about how you have demonstrated the value there. Then, you bring it back to school, signed, and put it on Mrs Wright’s desk. After that, you will be announced in assembly and will receive a certificate. Once you have all the certificates you will be awarded with an Ultimate Frimley Learner badge to wear on your uniform.

Frimley Biathlon
We were very excited to hold our first ever sponsored Biathlon event. The event took place from Monday 2nd July to Thursday 5th July with each year group participating during their timetabled PPA afternoon.
On each afternoon of their event, the children participated in a 200m swim during their usual swimming slot and a timed run- 1km for years 3 and 4 and 1.3km for years 5 and 6. Every child received an individual time for their swim and run and a combined time for both. All participants received a certificate and a range of medals was awarded recognising performance and effort across each year group. Our children are fantastic at pushing themselves to achieve their best and the event was the ideal opportunity for this. Furthermore, children will be able to use their time this year as a personal challenge to beat in the future thus providing the perfect platform for children to demonstrate the perseverance and determination needed to achieve their best.
We are incredibly fortunate to have the fantastic facilities we do at Frimley and all sponsorship money raised will go towards the ongoing maintenance of our swimming pool.

Frimley Fun day and Sports Day
Frimley had an amazing day on Friday as we held our Fun Day in the morning and moved onto Sports Day after break. It was a very, very hot day but the children kept their enthusiasm, motivation and team spirit to make this a tense, action packed sports day!
First the children set up stalls to raise money for our school PTA in our Summer Fair. All the stalls were designed by the children, set up by the children and run by the children.
After break we moved on to sports day. This was organised by the Sports Crew children (with some help from Miss Neighbour and Mr Phillips). They made it a very smooth, enjoyable day. In between races the children had the chance to relax in the shade and have a long drink, I think this was the hottest sports day we’ve ever had!
A huge well done for Argo for winning sports day this year. Another wall done for the rest of the school for raising over £300 for our school PTA.
The Greatest Show ever!
To celebrate out 150th birthday, Frimley set themselves the challenge to put on The Greatest Show – and wow, they certainly did put on a show so great that local houses were phoning us up to tell us how they were enjoying our show and singing from their gardens. Frimley wanted to do something memorable so the children an staff, led by our creative Mrs Curtis practiced and rehearsed until a show was formed. It was an amazing atmosphere as families and friends came onto our field to watch us and cheer us on. It was definitely a day to remember.
In July, Frimley celebrated being open for 150 years. To celebrate we invited teachers and pupils who used to go to Frimley to come and look around, to share how it has changed and to look through our memorabilia with happy memories. There were even a few reunions from old friends.
Frimley Learner
We have 2 new Frimley Learners – the first in Year 3 and Year 4! They have completed their Frimley Learner Passports to demonstrate that they understands and can show each of the 8 attributes both in school and at home.
Well Done Abeesha and Mia

Our value this half term is honesty. How can you show this value in school? Will you get star of the week this term for demonstrating a good understanding of our value?
Science Show
SIMMS Science on Show at St Mary’s University On Tuesday 12th June, nine of our Super Scientists from the Science Club took their projects to a com-petition which aims to celebrate ‘mastery of science’ in schools. They had worked on their own ideas for a science project in the school club and had to produce a model with supporting information for the competition. During the day they had opportunities to use their engineering skills to build spaghetti towers, watch a science demonstration on liquid nitrogen and participate in other activities such as trying sustaina-ble insect snacks! Yes, Mrs Phillips did eat one! At judging time they used their communication skills to explain and justify their science projects to a series of judges that included members of scientific institutions. They also enjoyed seeing the other school projects and the huge variety of science ideas on display. Mrs Phillips was very proud when we won the Best in Year 4 prize, the Best in Year 5 prize and then the Best Overall in Show prize! Well done to all of my budding scientists: James, Mollie, Sanjana, Josh-ua, Mia, Emily, Anya, Oliver and James! The judges were particularly impressed with the fact that the children could all talk about the science behind their projects and why they had chosen these pro-jects. The first place winners, James and Oliver also impressed them by showing the improvements in designs they had made in their attempts to make a model demonstrating Black Holes. Another trophy for Frimley Church of England Junior School!
Surrey Arts 2018 Primary Music Festival
On Tuesday 12th June the Frimley choir took part in the music festival at the Princes Hall in Aldershot. Everyone sang really well, they were performing songs telling stories of Vikings, the songs were from Go Lightning Vikings. In the mid-dle of the performance we listened to The Surrey Youth Training Choir, two members of our choir also performed In this, Cristyn and Anya. In the concert we were joined by other Junior Schools in the area. To conclude, the evening was a success and everyone enjoyed it. We’d like to thank Mrs Milton and Mrs Wolff for all their help and support with the choir. Cristyn Pirie
Sporting Events
Last week saw some children from Years 5 and 6 representing the school in Quadkids Ath-letics at Aldershot Military Stadium. The children all participated in a sprint, longer distance run, throwing and standing long jump events and really did Frimley proud. As a team, we came 4th overall, with some fantastic individual results too. The children demonstrated fan-tastic sportsmanship and support of each other. A special mention must go to Harry in 6H for achieving 2nd place in the individual results and for helping to support his team mates on the day. Also well done to Megan in 6N who ran two 600m races and won one of them! Well done to all! We also took part in the PhysiFun Festival at Mytchett Primary School, in which children from all year groups took part in competitive games and activities designed to boost fitness levels and develop an enjoyment of being active. The children had a great time and should also be very proud of themselves.
Wisley Garden
What an amazing start to our new half term, we came back to the wonderful news that Frimley had won another GOLD in the Wisley Budding Gardeners competition. We also won the Best in show Green award for the most ecological and sustainable garden, so we are super chuffed. Well done to Mrs Everett and her team (Grace, Ruby, Lucy, Isabelle, Emily, Charlotte, Jaz, Ava and Kimi) for their dedication and hard work.

Frimley Learner
Well done Anya for becoming our newest Frimley Learner. She has completed her Frimley Learner Passport to demonstrate that she understands and can show each of the 8 attributes both in school and at home.
Stained Glass Window
On Wednesday the 2nd of May, Jane Starnes, an ex-Frimley teacher, came in to talk to us about the stained glass window that is found in our hall. We found out lots of interesting facts about our school, which are represented in the window, that we didn’t know before. Here are just a few:
- In 2000 the children each came up with their own designs for the window; the creator incorporated all of them into one design that best represented our church school
- To pay for the cost of the window the school charged £5 to “own” a piece of glass.
- The window has a lot of “hidden” pictures in it like a football, children playing netball, an insect, hidden words etc
- The music notes at the top represent the first line of the old school hymn
- It was originally going to be positioned opposite the office, but Joe (its creator) said it would look better in the hall where the light reflects through the glass bringing it to life.
The window is an amazing piece of art and we are very lucky to have it in our hall. Have a closer look the next time you are in the Hall to see what you can find. By Caitlin and James 5R

SATs RULE!
A message from the staff here at Frimley to the Year 6 children. Mrs Wright made up the words to our song which hopefully will show our children that we are proud of them and their individual talents and achievements. Tests don’t measure everything. Be proud of yourselves!

School values
Our value this half term is Love. How can you show this value in school? Will you get star of the week this term for demonstrating a good understanding of our value?
Blackwater Valley Countryside Trust
Mr Colin Wilson from the Blackwater Valley Countryside Trust talked to the children about the different birds that they might see in their gardens and locally. He talked about how important is to leave hedging and trees in boundaries as places of shelter and food for them, and to provide bird food and water for them all year round.
This talk was a follow up to the bird and bat boxes that have been placed in the school grounds recently by the trust. We now have six swift boxes, four on the chapel, two on each side and two on the school house facing the carpark We also have six nesting boxes and six bat boxes in the woods on the bottom field.
one of our swift boxes
bird and bat nesting boxes
To encourage the birds into our gardens we have bird feeders and water in the garden. This summer we will have a wildlife pond. A wildflower meadow has been planted as a source of food. The vegetable gardens have recently been planted with seeds and will soon be encouraging insects into the gardens. Our native tree saplings are growing stronger each year and more native hedging will be planted at the end of the year providing extra safety and food.

Every single piece of art held amazing detail and every artist took their time to draw or paint a master piece. Miss Venn loved the fact that this year there was a huge range of art media being used and some very creative ideas. It’s a shame we couldn’t display them all.
Our winners and runners-up were…

At Frimley, we were all really excited to have taken part in Sport Relief 2018! As one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, Sport Relief brings the entire nation together to get active, raise money and change lives. To do our bit and to raise money we:
- held a ‘Just Dance’ session every break time

- completed in year group dodgeball tournaments every lunch time
- sold Sport Relief wristbands for £1 each.
On the Friday we had a sports themed non-uniform day. In the morning every class took part in the ‘Frimley Fitness Marathon’ (there were many aching legs the next day after all those squats, lunges and burpees!). We also ran a Frimley Family Mile in the afternoon with many family members joining us in our mile run around the school grounds.
Spring Magic Art Exhibition
Frimley produced some fantastic art work for an art exhibition run by Surrey Heath Primary Schools. It was presented at St Peter’s Church Hall and I’m sure you will agree, Frimley children have once again made us a very proud school.
SMARTY mouse
SMARTY mouse was designed by the children here at Frimley a few years ago to promote online safety and to help children to make ‘smart’ and safe decisions online. As he was a few year old, we digitally recreated him and placed him round every school computer to help him to stand out to remind our children of their SMART rules. Our new mouse mats were shared in assembly today; Can your child tell you about SMARTY mouse and how they can keep safe online?

Tuesday 6th March 2018 – Bird house making
Kindly, Bernard from the Blackwater Valley Conservation Trust came into school to help the children from Mrs Everett’s Gardening Club and the Environmental Council team, make 12 bird houses for Swallows to nest in. He helped us use hammers, screws, electric drills and nails to put together the boxes. They will be hung around the bottom field and we will keep a close eye on them watching out for any visitors we have. Did you know that we also have 4 boxes under the eaves of the staff house and chapel? Colin, who is also from the Trust, put the boxes up in February. Just before Easter, they will both return to place some bat boxes in the wooded area behind the bottom field. We had a lot of fun collaborating with different people from different year groups. Thank you to Mrs Hammond and Mrs Everett for organising this for us and the Conservation Trust for helping us be a part of this exciting project.

Frimley Values and British Values
As we start our new, exciting term here at Frimley we thought it would be a good chance to remind you of our Frimley and British values.
Our value of the term is Responsibility. How can you show this value in school? Will you get star of the week this term for demonstrating a good understanding of our value?
We want to prepare children positively for life in modern Britain so we ensure that the Frimley and British values are introduced, discussed and lived through the ethos, values and work of our school. Our curriculum areas provide a vehicle to help children further understand these concepts, in particular our RE and PSHE&C lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop understanding. Children embrace these values with enthusiasm and demonstrate a good understanding of their application to their own lives.
Frimley Learner
Well done William and Olivia for becoming our first Frimley Learners of the year. They have completed their Frimley Learner Passports to demonstrate that they understand and can show each of the 8 attributes both in school and at home.

Enrichment Day
Last term was such a success that the school council decided to run another Enrichment day. The children and adults wore coloured tops to represent their house: Argo (green), Apollo (blue), Endurance (red) and Endeavour (yellow). Last term the children focused on what their house name represented. This term the school council picked the theme ‘Diversity’. Each house teacher created fun, inspiring activities to help the children share what diversity means to them and how we can celebrate the diversity we see in the world around us.
Here is a snippet of activities and photos but keep your eyes open for the next Frimley Times to hear the children’s own reports about the day.
Endeavour showed diversity through creative art, discussing jobs and creating games.
Endurance showed diversity through finger painting, how everyone has a different finger print. There was even some amazing green screen technology in the Discovery Zone.
Argo were busy creating games that not only celebrated their own skills and talents but also encouraged other skills and talents from children around them.
Apollo celebrated diversity by performing – X-factor style!
Science week
To develop and engage the children in different aspects of science, we held a ‘Science is Fantastic’ week from Mon 5th June to Friday 9th June.
The children experienced a range of scientific ideas through fun and educational activities including some outdoor learning in the science garden.
The children were asked to bring in a Science project from home so they could hold a ‘Science Expo’ where the children showed their projects to other children and to parents.
Lots of fun was had by all. There were exploding volcanoes, static balloons, models, posters, telescopes, lava lamps and lots of messy goo!

Opening of the running track
On Thursday 20th April 2017, the children and staff of Frimley Church of England School welcomed Elizabeth Duggan from Active Surrey to their school to officially open their new running track.
All children are taking part in Active Surrey’s Run the World scheme which takes them past various sporting events and finishes in Surrey for the Women’s Lacrosse World cup in July. Frimley children run, jog or walk a measured mile for 15 minutes most days using the all weather track. The miles are then logged on The Golden Mile website so that they can track their progress. Collectively schools should cover the 28,750 miles around the world over the course of the school year.

Frimley held its annual Easter art competition and it was a challenge to choose the winners this year. Every single piece of art held amazing detail and every artist took their time to draw or paint a master piece. It's a shame we couldn't display them all.
Our winners were...

Our School Council organised Comic Relief this year. They decided to hold a class assembly so we could share the meaning of Comic Relief to understand why we bring in £1 and who it supports. In return for bringing in £1, they let the school come in wearing mufti and held a talent show and cake sale. Lots and lots of fun was had by all, including the staff!
