Headteacher’s Message (09.02.2024)
It has been a very short half term, but as always, the staff and children at Apley have achieved so much. Just this week, I’ve seen detailed and descriptive writing across the whole school, very impressive reading in phonics lessons in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 and some fantastic art from Year 3.
Well done to our Year 5 children who demonstrated brilliant behaviour on their recent visit to Charlton School to see the performance of The Wizard of Oz. I have received some lovely feedback from the staff team. A huge well done again to our Safeguarding Squad, who delivered the annual whole school assembly for Safer Internet Week. They did a brilliant job and every year group has taken part in lessons this week about the importance of online safety.
Congratulations to everyone who has received a Headteacher Award this week:
Carter W, Lois A, Emilia E, Emma B, Charlotte C, Evie-Rose M, Jack T, Sabrina S, Kunashe M, Nikolaos D, Amira A, Summer J, Eddie D-S, Harley W, Kenai Q, Ariya R, Emmy C, Jacob B, Qais S, Olivia I-C, Lyla S, Ollie D, Ali S, Isabelle K, Willow C, Carter S, Isabella S, Oscar N, Sophia C, Charlie T.

Year 3- Online Safety 7.2.24
As part of online safety week, Year 3 looked at how much technology had changed in the last 20 years, before having a go at designing their own tech of the future. We had a focus on how to keep technology safe for future users.
WB 05.02.24 – Year 1 Science Investigation
This week in our Science lesson we took part in an investigation to find the best waterproof material to make a coat for a teddy bear.
We investigated by measuring out some water and adding it to lots of different materials (based on our predications last week). We discovered that plastic would be the best material for a waterproof coat, and that if we had a coat made from paper or wool, we would get very wet!
Art morning- 5.2.2024
Year 3 have thoroughly enjoyed their art morning. Their special visitor demonstrated how to create texture in landscape paintings and their final pieces look fantastic!
