The Big Pedal is the UK’s largest cycling and scooter event. It aims to get as many children using sustainable transport over a short period. Over 1000 schools have signed up for this event and we are one of them. We are having our Big Pedal Day on 29.4.16. Please encourage your child/ren to either cycle or scooter to school on this day. We shall have a hands up poll and our information will be measured against other schools. We may win a prize!!!! For further information check out the website. http://bigpedal.org.uk/

We were really happy this week to learn that we had once again received two Educational Outcome Awards following our 2015 achievements. The awards acknowledge that we are in the top 10% of schools nationally for the progress that our children make in Reading, Writing and Maths. This is a testament to all the staff and children who work so hard to secure the best possible outcomes. Well done Middle Park!

The children really enjoyed showing you their books and their learning and we’re so glad that you made the most of the opportunity to see all the rooms throughout the school including the library, computer suite and intervention rooms. Thanks for coming!

making TVs and pinhole cameras, testing out gliders and boats made of straws. The fun continues.

We were so lucky to have a very special visitor to our assembly this morning. Happy birthday Mr Einstein! Thank you for showing us one of your very special experiments.

Well done to everyone for dressing up today for World Book Day in your favourite book characters.

Today is Christmas party day in school and we’re all having a great time. Mr Marvel is here and he’s been entertaining the younger children with a super magic show – and now the older children are enjoying their special ‘Gameshow Discos.’ We’ve had a lovely Christmas lunch, we’ve watched the first UK astronaut blast off into space and we’re also enjoying making magic potions and year group rugby tournaments. Why can’t it be Christmas EVERY day!?!

Children across the school have been watching Tim Peake as he embarks on his landmark flight to the International Space Station. Go Tim!!!

Thank you for all the donations of cakes this morning. Don’t forget to bring some pennies with you after school in case there is anything left!
