• Pupil Voice Christmas Displays

  Fri 08 Dec 2023

  Christmas has started at Chambersbury with our annual House Group displays! Each year, each House Group gathers together to create a winter/Christmas scene to decorate the school hall! I am sure you can guess which House Group did which display by the background colours.

  

• Letter from Downing Street

  Fri 01 Dec 2023

  This morning in assembly Year 6 got a lovely surprise. They received a letter from 10 Downing Street! They have been researching the topic of Climate Change and wrote letters to the Prime Minster, Rishi Sunak, about their concerns. They received a response which thanked the children for writing about an important issue and how the Government welcomes the progress made at COP27 but recognises there is more work to be done! The letter ends thanking the children for doing their “bit and raising awareness of climate change.” This is a great example of how learning can inspire and make changes outside the classroom and make a real difference to the planet! Well done Year 6.

  

• Years 5 and 6 Fundraiser

  Wed 29 Nov 2023

  The children in Years 5 and 6 organised a fundraiser after school this week. It was very well attended so thank you to everyone who donated or came along to spend money. They raised over £250 for their coach travel for their O2 trip—they are preforming a show to be performed in front of large audience in the O2 Arena. This will be a brilliant experience for them and past pupils still talk about it being one of their favourite trips!

• Football Results

  Fri 24 Nov 2023

  Both of our football teams have started their seasons over the last couple of weeks. The boys have played their first three fixtures. They have always represented the school in a lovely manner and have tried their best. Our “Players of the Match” for the first three matches have been; Jacob - for excellent goal keeping skills in our first match, Leyton - for excellent runs in our second match and never stopping and in our last match was Dolly—who worked extremely hard and stepped up to play on this team league. The girls have played two of three arranged matches, both of which have been wins! The girls have always represented the school amazingly well and have shown good spirit especially coming back in our first game to win. Our players of the match for the first two matches have been; Kali - for excellent dribbling and running up the wing she was unstoppable and the second player of the match was Hameedah—who was fantastic and has improved dramatically since the first game of the season. Well done to both teams—keep it up!

• Year 6 Trip to Bletchley Park

  Tue 14 Nov 2023

  On Tuesday Year 6 visited Bletchley Park as part of their topic on WWII. It was a brilliant day out learning about the codebreakers and their vital role in the war. The children got to see where they worked, including stepping into Alan Turning's office, and learnt all out about breaking the Enigma code was a turning point. They even got to have a go at translating coded messages, as well as have a go on an actual Enigma machine.

• Year 3 & 4 Trip to Chiltern Open Air Museum

  Wed 08 Nov 2023

  It was very wet (but thankfully not cold) when Years 3 and 4 visited Chiltern Open Air Museum this week. Both classes completed workshops to support their history topics of the Stone Age and Anglo Saxon Britain. Year 3 were taught how to hunt, created their own Stone Age art work and made Stone Age tools. Year 4 discussed how to find evidence from the past and created their own message using runes. Runes were all made of straight lines, which made them easier to carve.
