ORACY EASTER CHALLENGE!

We are excited to launch our Oracy Easter Challenge! Building on our commitment to developing confident speakers and listeners, we are inviting all pupils to record themselves talking about something they have learnt this term. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to practise articulating their ideas, using new vocabulary, and building confidence in speaking. It doesn’t have to be perfect, and if children prefer, they can simply record their voice without being on screen. Recordings can be emailed into school, and there are prizes to be won! We encourage all families to get involved and support this important skill, helping our children to grow as thoughtful, articulate communicators.

Good luck and have fun! We can't wait to see your entries!

The Quinton Team

A massive WELL DONE to our superstars who completed optional homework throughout the term! We are incredibly proud of your hard work and commitment. Everyone who took part has received a Headteacher’s Award. Don’t forget, we also have optional oracy homework available for the Easter break. If you’d like to get ahead for next term, you can also visit the class pages on the school website to explore upcoming activities. Keep up the brilliant effort, and enjoy the holiday!

Wishing all our Quinton families a wonderful Easter break! We hope you enjoy plenty of fun, some well‑earned rest, and lots of quality time together (while trying not to eat too much chocolate!). We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Tuesday 14th April. I've attached a letter regarding our upcoming Parent Governor elections, as two of our current governors are nearing the end of their 4-year terms. If you’re interested in supporting the school in this important role, please take a moment to read the information provided.

Easter Bonnet Parade

On Tuesday, the children got the chance to show off all their wonderful creations to the rest of the school in our assembly. The children proudly paraded with their beonnets down the centre of the hall to the front, where they sat and eagerly awaited the results of the runner-up and winner in each class. The School Councillors chose the winners with the KS2 children judging KS1 and vica-versa. They based their decisions on how much of the bonnet was made from recyclable materials, the uniqueness of the design and if it had been made by the child with a small helping hand from an adult. 

Congragulations to our winners and runners-up from each class (see photos below) and a huge well-done and thank-you to all the pupils who participated and for all the parents hard-work at home behind the scenes.
