volcanoes
In year 4 we have been looking at poetry. The children were tasked to create their own poems about volcanoes, which included expression and actions. Take a look at some of the fantastic examples that have been created along with their own art work in the background. Great work year 4!

Zone Sports 2017
The Meads went to Zone Sports last Tuesday, some of the children involved wrote a report which you can read below:
On Tuesday 13th June, years 3, 4, 5 and 6 attended Zone Sports. Zone Sports is a competition which consists of a variety of races as well as mini games that children compete in. Overall The Meads Primary School came first, which was a massive achievement for the whole school.
The competition was held at Bramingham Primary School. For the first race year 3 and 4 were put into lines to represent their school. Next year 3 and 4 competed for the 60m race where Kevin and Harry came first in their races and Lara came third to also qualify.
The relay for year 3 did very well; they worked as a team and showed great sportsmanship, the whole Meads team were cheering everybody on through their races too. Year 3 came third overall. The year 4 and 5 relay teams came 1st overall which was an outstanding achievement and they qualified for town sports. The year 6 relay team came second and also qualified for town sports.
Jaiden, Tate and Emmanuella came first in the year 5 and 6 80m sprints to qualify for the finals. The final was a tight race, the hot sun slowed some people down but not the Meads, they performed extremely well! In the final Tate came third and Jaiden came first in their race and Emmanuella came first in her race with Azariah also achieving a qualifying place for the finals.
Overall The Meads came first by a huge margin and had a fantastic time!
The Bar Model Method
At The Meads we use the bar model method. Bar models are pictorial representations of problems or concepts that can be used for any of the operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In word problems, they hold the huge benefit of helping children decide which operations to use or visualise problems. Bar models will not, however, do the calculations for the pupil. Here are some examples for you to watch.
Family Room Activities
Please see the two posters below from our Family Workers, for details regarding The Meads School Walks and an Infant Massage Course.
South America
Kingfishers have been studying South America this past half term and for their P.E. lesson they have put together a samba dance. They have showed great teamwork and enthusiasm over coming many obstacles and displaying a growth mind-set throughout.

Lottery & PTA Funding Benefits School
As we approach the end of term I am finally able to share some good news with you all. For some weeks now, we have had to keep to ourselves, the project which you will have undoubtedly noticed being installed on the Key Stage 1 & 2 fields. Some time ago we submitted a bid to Awards for All, the lottery funded charity that gives money to worthy causes, for funding to extend our playground apparatus. We were subsequently awarded £10,000 towards doing so, which, together with a further £2,000 provided by our brilliant PTA, has enabled us to pay for the additional equipment you can see on our playgrounds.

Access Group
Does your child have an additional need? Come and join us for a friendly chat. Share ideas , learn from the experiences of others and enjoy some biscuits/cake. We will be meeting one Monday afternoon each half term.
Hope to see you there.
