Nursery:
This week in Nursery we have been talking about the Olympics. The children went out and sat on the field to watch the local school’s Olympic torch come into the school playground on Thursday. In assembly we learnt an Olympics song with actions!! Thank you Miss Plummer!

Some of the children have started to think about meeting their new
teacher and we have done lots of talking about what is happening next year, for
those children moving to Reception and those staying Nursery.
We have been working on our Teddy Bears Picnic invitation.
These will be sent home next week for our Teddies.
Please could we remind you that the children need to have a hat to
wear at Nursery and suncream should be applied before they come in for their
session.
Thank you, Have a good weekend
Year 1
Hello again
everyone!
Well what a lovely,
energetic week we have had….Olympic torches, sports day, food from around the
World….the list goes on! Here is what the children have said they enjoyed
this week.
Victor said ‘I
enjoyed it when the replica Olympic torch came to our school. I thought
it was a good model because it looked like a real Olympic torch!’
Erin said ‘I liked
tasting the food from around the World. I loved the baguette with brie
cheese on top!’
Ben said ‘I loved
Sports Day because I had to run quickly and I won a sticker.’
Josh said ‘I
enjoyed Sports Day because I had to sprint to the finish line. I came
third! I felt sad but happy at the same time’
Have a lovely
weekend and stay safe!
Looking forward to
seeing you next week
The Year 1 Team x
Year 2
2C have had a super
week preparing to write our recount on our trip to Colchester Zoo and then
writing it up. We have looked at track races at the Olympics and the length of
the races in metres. In maths we have been working hard on our multiplication
and division facts. Miss Rothwell got the children to make some insects in DT,
they are not finished yet but will be fantastic when done.
We have had so much
fun in our sports week. It was lovely to see the Southend Olympic flame and the
two sports personalities who visited. On Thursday afternoon the year 5 and 6
children played games on the field with us and we all enjoyed it so much.
Year 3
This week is sports
week and to celebrate that we have had a jam packed week of activities. We have
taken part in sports day, had an afternoon of whole school games and developed
a range of sporting skills.
R favourite part of
the week was the pentathlon with 3B. We took part in events like hurdles,
discus, javelin, long jump and sprinting. We competed in this event because we
started to learn about the Ancient Greek Olympics and the events that were used
back then.
Jay’s favourite
event was sprinting because he achieved first position. Cameron also liked the
sprinting because he enjoys running. Eryn loved the hurdles because she likes
to jump and John came first in the discus and was excited about throwing so
far.
We would like to
say a massive THANK YOU to Mrs Weddell for working so hard this week and
arranging all of the brilliant events this week!
Hope you have a
great weekend!!
Miss Crumbie, Mrs
Johnson and 3C
It has been a really busy and exciting week at
Darlinghurst with lots going on with the focus on sport and games at it has
been National Sports Week. As a class we have been active everyday and
have played a variety of sports, including some many of us had never tried
before. We have seen the arrival on Thursday of the replica Olympic torch and
the whole school as there to greet the runners that carried it from Our lady Of
Lourdes. We had a very special guest come to talk to us on Thursday morning –
Poppy Lake the 2011 and 2012 ‘British Schools’ High Jump champion. She spoke to
us about working hard to achieve your goals in life and was an inspiration as
she had achieved so much by the age of 16. W have also measure her personal
best jump of 1m 73cm on the board and there were quite a few of us that
couldn’t reach it!
Kyle – “Yesterday I was speechless to seeing Poppy
Lake. I was hungry when it came to tasting food from around the world. It was
fun playing dodge ball in games”.
Laura – “I thought it was very sweet when the whole
school including the Nursery came to watch the torch arrive”.
