• Football Fever!

  Thu 28 Apr 2022

  What a fantastic first game on the Mount Street football pitch this afternoon.  We were thrilled to welcome Leigham Primary School to a year 5 & 6 friendly match.  Both teams played exceptionally well, and the sportsmanship of all players is to be commended.  There was a clear team spirit, with plenty of communication, passing of the ball and peer encouragement.  We look forward to welcoming Leigham back for another game, and if any other local schools would like a friendly match - do get in touch!

  

• Author Visit

  Tue 26 Apr 2022

  It has been a while since we have been able to invite visitors into school, but we are delighted that we have been able to book a visit with award winning author- Stewart Foster.  Our year 5 children have been enjoying reading his books and will be thrilled to meet him in person.  However, the best news is that Stewart will be meeting the whole school and working with all KS1 and KS2 children in groups, to inspire them as writers.

  Stewart will be in school for the day on Friday 20th May.  There will also be an opportunity for the children to buy a copy of one of his books and have it signed in person.  Further information to follow.

• Cooking with micro-organisms!

  Thu 07 Apr 2022 Mrs Hibbert

  We have been learning about micro-organisms in Science and how yeast is a 'good' bacteria.  Today, we have used yeast to make flatbreads as part of our DT project (creating a celebration tea); ours is multi-cultural.

  

• Fire, Fire!!!!

  Thu 07 Apr 2022

  Year 2 had a brilliant fire afternoon.  They have been learning about the Great Fire of London so decided to have a fire of their own.  They spent the afternoon outside and lit a fire in ‘Scorch’ the pizza oven. They chilled out by the fire, listening to the sounds it made and describing what they could see, smell and feel. It was very hot! Then they toasted marshmallows and made ‘Smores’ with chocolate biscuits, enjoying the melting chocolate and yummy, sticky marshmallows. 

  A fabulous spring afternoon had by all.  They are now looking forward to writing a diary all about their fiery afternoon!

• Sunny Days!

  Nursery and ME2 have been making the most of the sunshine and the amazing outside space at Mount Street Primary School and Nursery.   The children have enjoyed exploring their physical development, enquiring minds and the opportunity to play outside.

  

• Year 6 - Cooking

  Thu 24 Mar 2022 Mrs Hibbert

  Year 6 have been making smoothies. They have tried a selection of Fair Trade fruits and then designed, made and evaluated their products before adapting the recipe and trying again.  There were some very good knife skills on show and a great willingness to try a wide variety of fruits.  Mango and strawberry were clear favourites.

  

• Robin Hood Recruitment

  Tue 22 Mar 2022 Mrs Hibbert

  Year 6 have been extremely lucky as the Plymouth Schools Sports Partnership came in to deliver an archery lesson, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.  You can see that we have some great form being shown and there are definitely some candidates for Robin Hood!

  

• Congratulations Swimmers

  Fri 18 Mar 2022

  A massive well done to years 4 and 5 who have been learning to swim at Plymouth Life Centre for the last 3 weeks.  They have all made tremendous progress, developing water confidence, swimming techniques and water safety knowledge.  Some children have even been learning to dive!

  We would like to say a huge thank you to the amazing teachers at the Life Centre who have truly given our children a love of water and a life-long skill.

  Parents – Do keep an eye out for some free family swimming sessions coming your way!
