🏹 A Fantastic Morning at the Compass Sports Event! 🌟 What a lovely morning some of our Key Stage 2 children had taking part in our annual Compass Sports Event, kindly hosted by Mr Fry and Soccer Excellence at Eldene School! The children had the opportunity to try a range of different sports, including archery, golf and boccia, developing new skills, having fun and enjoying the chance to experience something a little different. 🎯 It was wonderful to see the way our children represented Lainesmead with such pride and enthusiasm, encouraging one another, working together as a team and approaching every activity with a fantastic positive attitude. 💚 A huge thank you to Mr Fry, Soccer Excellence and Eldene School for organising and hosting such an enjoyable event. Well done to all our children who took part – you were brilliant ambassadors for Lainesmead! 👏😊

🏫 Year 4 Step Back in Time to Victorian School! 📚 Our Year 4 children had a fantastic time visiting Sevington Victorian School last week, where they travelled back in time to experience what life was like for a Victorian schoolchild! Dressed for the occasion, the children fully immersed themselves in a Victorian school day, tackling maths using old money, practising their handwriting with ink pens and blotting paper, and reading aloud with their teacher. 📖 They also had the opportunity to try their hand at traditional Victorian activities, including making beeswax candles and creating brass rubbings, as well as enjoying some time playing with Victorian toys. 🕯 The day ended with a lesson on the rather frightening 'Articles of Correction', where the children discovered the different punishments Victorian schoolchildren might have faced! 😲 We're sure they were relieved to return to their usual classrooms at Lainesmead! Both classes thoroughly enjoyed their visits, and what a brilliant way to bring their history learning to life! 💚 Here are some photos of our Victorian schoolchildren in action! 📸

📚🌟 Today, our whole school took part in Take 10 to Read, joining thousands of children and adults across the country in an attempt to break the world record for the most people reading at the same time! 🌍📖 KS1 heard a fantastic reading of Super Uma by Rashmi Sirdeshpande, followed by a draw-along activity with illustrator Nakul P. KS2 spent time with Frank Cottrell-Boyce as he read from The Blockbusters! and explored themes including cinema and culture. It was wonderful to see everyone pause, pick up a book and enjoy the magic of reading together. Well done to all of our fantastic readers!
