Year 6 Market Day

Year 6 have been busy running their own businesses this term. After creating and submitting a business plan to St Ives' Business Manager, they have been working hard on preparing their products, managing their budget and marketing their merchandise.  All their efforts culminated in Market Day on Monday. In the morning, they carefully prepared their stalls to make them enticing, before selling their items to the rest of the school. There was everything from plants, to mystery bags, to keyrings and charms. There was not much left to buy at the end- a sign of a lot of happy customers! Now they are in the process of evaluating their businesses and working out their profits, 25% which will go to their chosen charities. A fantastic learning experience for Year 6 - well done for rising to the challenge!

Reception Readiness

Our Reception Readiness sessions are in full swing. These sessions are run weekly for the last 5 weeks of term for all the children joining us in Reception in September, both from our own nursery and others. The sessions allow the children to familiarise themselves with the school and their teachers ahead of starting 'big school'. It also allows them to make new friends and ensures they settle quickly and easily in September. This cohort are looking very ready for Reception at St Ives!

 


Summer Fair

Lovely to see so many families enjoying the Summer Fair on Saturday. Great music, delicious barbecue and glorious sunshine. Putting Mrs Goldsworthy in the stocks made the children's day! Thank you so much to FOSI for organising.

Year 5 Assembly

A fantastic performance from Year 5 in their class assembly. The children acted out a play based on Kieran Larwood's book 'The Legend of Podkin One-Ear' and the children had written the entire script themselves. Year 5 explained that the book, a classic story of the battle between good and evil, is an allegory for climate change through an interview with our 'Kieran Larwood', scenes from the book and a finale explaining what we can all do to solve the problem. The children did an outstanding job, despite limited rehearsal time and delivered their lines beautifully and thoughtfully. We would like to thank Year 5 adults for coming along and to all those who helped the children with their costumes - they were wonderful!

Year 3 went on an extended walk of the grounds this week. We enjoyed stepping over the boundary & into the neighbouring land, heading towards Swan Barn Farm. The children were amazed at how beautiful our local area is.

Year 6 Luncheon

Our Year 6 pupils have been very busy preparing for their luncheon today. They've invited lots of special guests - Head Teachers of their Senior Schools, our Governors, The Mayor of Haslemere and our wonderful parent body, FOSI. The children had to plan and budget for the menu, shop for ingredients, cook the food and lay the tables, including flower arranging the table displays. They've really enjoyed the challenge and have learnt so much from the process. The guests are on their way!

The School Travel Awards

A wonderful afternoon at the School Travel Awards 2023 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel yesterday, where Miss Smith and Mrs Goldsworthy celebrated St Ives being a finalist amongst only 5 other schools in the country for the ‘My Best School Trip Award’. This is a wonderful and well-earned achievement. Thank you to Miss Smith who not only organised the trip, but also wrote the entry for the award, acknowledging that school trips are a huge team effort, with lots of organisation and research to give the children the best possible experiences. To quote Miss Smith: “school trips are an integral part of life at St Ives, both academically and pastorally and we are so proud of our learning outside the classroom that benefits every child from Nursery to Year 6”.

Congratulations to Langdale Primary, Ambleside, Cumbria for its space trip to Liverpool. Your trip sounded wonderful and your win is very well deserved!
