School values

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.

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. 

The garden has been rebuilt in front of the water park/behind the gym if you would like to take a look at our winning garden.

Feeding time!

Baby Birds!

We have baby birds in our bird boxes.  The web camera has been on in our hub for all children to see.

   

Our new outdoor gym!!!

We are loving our outdoor gym.  On Friday, it’s opening day, we all had a chance to try it out, even the staff! It will be timetabled at lunch times and break times so each class will get a fair turn.

Lunch rota; Monday Year 6, Tuesday Year 5, Wednesday Year 4, Thursday Year 3.

Please take note of the safety signs; The equipment is to be used within school hours and supervised by school staff, they are not to be used before or after school.

 

 

 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 2^nd 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.

Our nesting boxes with cameras are showing residency by Blue Tits.

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.

 

 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.

    

  

 

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?

  Original design

   

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.

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.
