First recording session at Woodbine Recording Studio today and our Year 5 band The Four Gods are sounding awesome! We can't wait to hear the final mix of their original song 'Waffle Eating Kaiju Monster'! 🤣

It seems such a long time ago now, but as part of the celebration of Sir David Attenborough's birthday on May 10th, we decided to honor him by adopting an animal for the WWF. In each class the school councillors delievered a presentation on Sir David's life. The children watched a video clip of him when younger, experiencing the gorillas in the rainforest and what a magical time it was for him! The classes were then shown the list of endangered animals on the WWF website and everyone voted for the animal they wished us to adopt as a school. Over the half term, the welcome box arrived and so we can now reveal that the chosen animal was a...TIGER!!!!! We have a certificate of thanks that we can proudly display, a welcome booklet with facts in and a super cute cuddly toy! We will receive updates through the next year as to how our money is being spent to help these beautiful creatures and keep their numbers growing in the wild.

In the week before half term, and then again today, the chilodren have been helping to finish off planting in the year 1 outdoor area. They have found it so interesting and lots of dicussions have been had about what they are planting at home, how well it is growing and any bugs or insects that they may have found. We have found quite the variety of insects ourselves when digging up the overgrown weeds and  grass...just today we found a huge black beetle which we rescued and put onto the rosemary plant! Our seeds and bulbs have started growing and we now have potato, carrot, beetroot and pumpkin shoots appearing :) We have now started clearing another bed ready for some wildflowers.

SPONSORED WALK 2026

On the last Friday before half term, we held our annual Sponsored Walk, and what a fantastic morning it was! The event truly represented everything that Quinton is about.

Throughout the morning, our children demonstrated all of our Quinton Qualities: Aspiration, Bravery and Compassion. It was wonderful to see children supporting and encouraging one another, while also challenging themselves to achieve their very best. The determination, resilience and kindness shown by everyone made the morning a real success.

Children were rightly proud of their achievements, and the staff team were incredibly proud of all of our children for the way they approached the event.

A big thank you to those families who have already sent in their sponsorship money. We are hoping to have all sponsorship money in school by Friday 5th June. This can be sent in with your child, or given in to the school office. Alternatively, if easier, it can be paid on ParentPay, and you are able to select an amount.

As you know, the money raised will help us to achieve our goal of painting a track on our back playground for the scooters and trikes, creating an exciting new resource for our children to enjoy.

Thank you once again for your continued support, and a huge well done to all of our fantastic children - they couldn't have impressed us more!
