We are so very thankful for Fauld Gypsum mine for their community work they complete with us and for engaging our children so well with their competition. The prizes are superb quality and wonderfully linked with the theme, well done to the children who won!
What a talented bunch of children we have at Needwood!
The children enjoyed their Christmas party with crackers and party food, entertainment and a visit from someone special...
We held a Times Table Rockstars launch day for which the children dressed up as their avatar rockstars and had regular opportunities to practice their times tables throughout the day, everytime their teacher started to play some rock music they had to leap into action and practice quick response questions to times tables relevant to their year group.
Knowing times tables instantly is crucial to children's future success in mathematics and at the Forest Federation we place importance on knowing all these tables by the end of year 4.
We thank the children for their participation and ask that they practice regularly at home until they have secured quick recall of all tables.
This half term the children have been reflecting on the fruit of the spirit of 'peace'.
Needwood children and staff enjoyed their Christmas lunch on Thursday 14th December.
Christmas Nativity and Carols
Children and families had a magical time at our Lights Camel Action Christmas performance. The singing, dancing, judging and compering was amazing, what a wonderful start to Christmas. We thank staff for ensuring it was a special event, well-practiced with a full complement of costumes, props, lights and back drop, to the children for learning their lines, song words and making it such a vibrant event and to families and the community for their help with costumes, lines, support and attendance. We also thank out PTA for organising the raffle!
On Wednesday 13th December, the children at Needwood enjoyed a worship with Mr. John Coltman from Winshill Gospel Hall.
Children had a superb time at the pantomome at Lichfoeld Garrick. They were all brilliantly behaved,, had lots of fun, singing and dancing and calling out all the panto lines! We thank staff and parent volunteers for a fabulous time.
