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.

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.

Collaboration

As part of our Collaboration Value this half term each, house group has produced an amazing display to share what collaboration means to them.

  

  

Easter Art Competition

Frimley held its annual Easter art competition and once again it was a challenge to choose the winners.  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…

  

  

  

  

Spring concert

A huge well done to all the children who took part in our Spring concert.  Wow! We have a lot of talent here at Frimley.  We heard beautiful singing as well has hearing music from children playing the harp, piano, keyboard, guitar and clarinet.

A huge thank you to Mrs Wolff and Mrs Milton for all the time and effort you put into this to make our Spring concert possible.

TT Rockstars leaderboard 

This is how the leader board is looking today, Monday 26th March.  We won’t update this again until after Easter so this gives you 2 weeks to log onto TT Rockstars and try to get your name on the top 10!

 Sports Relief  

Monday 19^th March and Friday 23^rd March.

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
• took on Olympic diver Tom Daley’s ‘Daley challenge’
• 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.

    

  

In assembly, Mr Callow mentioned that the race was on for the top 10 names in TT rockstars.  Did you make the top 10 this week?  Who will be on next week’s top 10?  Come on year 5 and year 3, years 4 and 6 are taking over the leader board!!!

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?

Values Day

We held a Values Day to help us to have a clearer understanding of Collaboration.  What does it mean?  How can we collaborate in all areas of our lives?  What does collaboration look like?

World Book Day

On Tuesday 6th March 2018, Frimley celebrated World Book Day by coming into school dresses as their favourite book character.  We had an amazing range of creative costumes and the whole school looked fantastic.

  

  

 Tuesday 6^th 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.

On Friday 9th March we will be learning more about collaboration on our Values Day.  Don’t forget to come dressed on your house colours.

  

Spring 1 2017/2018

We had 2 teams, teachers vs children, they were put on the spot to spell a word from the year 5/6 spelling grid.  The children were amazing, they knew their spellings, kept their cool and beat the teachers 6-4!!!  Well done to Joe, Tomas, Amelia, Zachary, Mia and Harry for stepping up and showing us how amazing the children at Frimley are.

Our school

The children love being outside. Today I had a little help from some children to take some photos of Frimley children at play.

They also wanted to take some photos of the school grounds. Many more children wanted to take photos for me, so watch this space for our budding photographers in action.

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.

Values Day

On Friday 24th November, Frimley held a special Values Day which focused on the value of ‘perseverance’.  We all wore our house colours and mixed up year groups so we could meet and work with new friends.  

In Endeavour (yellow house) we looked at 3 bible stories which had the value of perseverance running through them.  Based on these stories we discussed the meaning and importance of being able to persevere both in and out of school.  We showed our ideas through wordle poems, graffiti art and drama

Golden Boot Challenge 5th June to 30th June 2017

 

Frimley Junior School is taking part in the Golden Boot Challenge, the biggest school travel competition in the country!  The annual challenge is designed to encourage children, parents and schools to choose sensible alternatives to the car on school journeys.  This year, with the Olympic Road Cycle Race coming to Surrey, the emphasis is on cycling.  We are aiming to make 10% of our journeys by bike.  If we achieve this Frimley will be awarded a gold medal.  The results are being recorded on line.  Go to www.surreyhealthyschools.co.uk then click on the Golden boot to see how our school is doing.  In celebration assembly the class with the best result that week will be awarded the GOLDEN BOOT!

Friday 9th June: We had joint winners this week – 6N and 6H

Friday 16th June: This week we looked to see who had made the biggest improvement from last week.  The runner ups were 3S and 4EV.  The winners were 5C.

Friday 23rd June: This week the class the made the biggest improvement was 5G.

Final day 7th July: The classes who scored 100% for the whole of the challenge were 6P, 5R, 6H, 6N, 5G.  The class who made the biggest improvement from start to finish was 5C.  Well done everyone.  Mrs Wright noticed that  year 5 and 6 children often walk in on their own which could have an impact on the results but reminded years 3 and 4 that the option is there for them to park and stride. 

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 5^th  June to Friday  9^th 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!

The Year 6 librarians stood up in assembly and told the whole school about our recent book fair.

"For 3 days from March 6th - 8th, the Scholastic book fair was run by the librarians in the Hub.  There were a range of different books to buy for 5-11 year olds.  It was extremely busy which was amazing because we took £829.07.  Which meant the school has 60% of the money, £497.44 in commission.  Mrs Selley had £172.70 for the library.  So we have £324.74 to use on Scholastic books for the school.  We hope that everyone enjoyed reading the books they bought.   A huge thank you to everyone who supported the book fair."  Written by Madeleine, Rachel and Tarryn.

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!
