🎉 OPAL Launch at Lunchtime! 🎉 We’re excited to share that our OPAL play initiative kicked off this lunchtime and what a fantastic start it was! The children had an amazing time, with one child saying, “It’s like a party at school!” and another declaring, “This is the best lunchtime ever!”. Take a look at the photos on the next couple of posts to see all the fun and laughter which was had! 📸 We’ll be continuing to develop our OPAL provision over the coming weeks and beyond to make playtime even more enjoyable and engaging for everyone. If you have any resources or play materials you no longer need and think we could use, please do speak to your child’s class teacher. Every little bit helps us create an even better play environment! As always, thank you so much for your support! 🙌

This evening, our Year 6 rounders team took part in a tournament at Shipston Primary School. The team played fantastically, showing great skill and teamwork throughout. They won three games, drew one, and lost just one, finishing in an impressive second place overall. There were some outstanding moments of batting and excellent fielding that made for a thrilling set of matches. We are incredibly proud of their efforts, sportsmanship, and determination. A huge well done to all the players for representing our school so well. Thank you also to their parents for your support and encouragement. Well done Year 6!

Year 5 enjoyed their Marvellous Maths session this week when they put their knowledge of Perimeter to the test and zoned the playground. They thought about what their dream playtime would include and what size zones they would need for each activity. Once they had measured each one, they needed to plot it on their plan using the correct scale. Well done Year 5!

I just took a lovely little break from data analysis to play a Quinton-themed version of Guess Who, cleverly created by Lily and Maisie in Year 6! (Total coincidence that I picked my own card!) Well done, girls! I think this could be a hit! ;)

We hope you’ve all managed to stay cool and not completely melt over the last few days! This week’s Quinton Quill is packed with updates, including staffing information for next year, snapshots from trips and events, and plenty of highlights from across the school. A quick reminder about end-of-day expectations on the playground: * No scooters or bikes, please - we’ve had a few incidents of reckless riding and unfortunately a couple of bumps, so we’ll need to stick firmly to this rule. Please only collect these items on the way out so that children don't have to resist riding them for too long! * Children playing on the equipment or around the playground must be supervised by an adult. Please remind them to follow our school rules: Be Ready, Be Respectful, Be Safe. It’s really important to note that once children are released at the end of the day, school staff are not responsible for playground supervision. Thanks, as always, for your continued support in keeping things safe and smooth at the end of the school day! Have a wonderful weekend!
