You reached your Universe!!

Posted on June 15, 2012 by Mr Tarchetti

The last day of half term, Friday 1st June, was a special day for Somerford!  Not only did we have jubilee tea parties we also had a very exciting Celebration Assembly.  The first children in the school, ever, reached their Universe Award.

Special Space Prizes

We relaunched our reward system in Spetmeber 2011 to be based around the Space theme, that the children chose.  They record eavery “star point” they earn in their home school book and gain a certificate for every 10 points.  When they reach 50 they have the certificate presented in assembly, 100 and they are given a “space chocolate bar” and 150 their parents are invited to come and see them presented with a book of their choice.  We said if anyone could work hard enough and behave so brilliantly that they earnt 200 star points they would earn a very special space prize.  The first children to achieve 200 star points (the Universe Certificate) were presented with their prize in assembly.  They got to choose from a range of space prizes – you can see the picture with them in above.  Here are our first ever Masters of the Universe!
 
 
 
 
 
Now the question to the rest of the school is, with just 6 weeks of the school year left, can you become a Master of the Universe?

Friday Marble Treat for Pearl Class.

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Mrs Glester

 

I love our marble treats!!!

Pearl class had worked hard for their Friday marble treat.  The class had voted on 4 different treats and having Hot Dogs was the favorite, so  on Friday afternoon we cooked up some hot dogs and made cheese rolls for those children who didn’t want the hot dogs.  I think the photo says it all really as to how much the children enjoyed their well earned treat.

 Here’s to the next treat which will be decided on Monday.

 Well done Pearl class you really deserved this treat.  Let’s get the marble jar filled up ready for the next treat!!!

What A Wet Day!

Posted on May 19, 2013 by Mrs Hudson

Well here we are on day 3. The combination of a busy day yesterday and a late night at the campfire made for a much better nights sleep. Night patrol for the staff was much more relaxing with even the chance of a cup of tea and some sweet treats.

Bright and early this morning, we all got dressed and showered ready for our room inspection and breakfast. We all scored well on the tidying and enjoyed a tasty meal of sausage, egg and beans. After breakfast, we had to get ourselves prepared for water sports activities.

Filled with excitement, we all hot footed it up to the water sports chalet to meet our instructors and get all of the equipment. With a wiggle and a squeeze we made it into our wetsuits (with only one split bottom seam!) and listened to the safety talk carefully.

The beach was a little walk from the centre along some twisty paths; very tricky to manouvre an oar or padel through these but we all made it in one piece. When we arrived at the beach, we used our excellent listening skills again to make sure that we all stayed safe and had fun. Miss Surman had one final check that she had the correct footwear on and then it was time to take to the water.

Everyone really enjoyed their time in the canoes and kayaks even if we needed a little helping hand at first. Miss Bairstow even lost a shoe in the quicksand and had to borrow Miss Surman’s to walk home. Thank goodness for the emergency high heels in Miss Surman’s rucsack!

Back at PGL, we all warmed up with a hot shower then enjoyed a lunch of burgers, chips and salad. I hope we will have enough energy to enjoy our afternoon activities and of course, the disco!

 

Tight squeeze!

OOOOPS!!!

“Thisis great fun!”

A fun filled afternoon

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Mrs Hudson

What a busy day! Thank goodness for a rest, cup of warm tea and a chance to blog. After a carb filled lunch  (to recharge our batteries) of wraps, spicy chicken or beef and nachos, we have all taken part in 2 more fantastic activities. Mrs Hudson was particularly excited about the aeroball activity as we had told her all about it this morning and she eagerly listened to the instructions before smashing the ball in the goal.

What good listening skills you have!

Some of us learnt some great survival skills today. How to build a shelter and start a camp fire using flint. It was a tricky and physical task that needed a lot of team work and concentration but we got there in the end. I’m not sure I would want to test the shelters out in the bad weather though!

Smile!

You can do it!

We better go now and catch up with Mrs Hudson and the others at the campfire, singing songs and enjoying toasted marshmallows. (I hope they saved us one) Pictures will follow tomorrow. Fingers crossed for an early night tonight. Miss Surman and Miss Bairstow
