On Tuesday 23rd September, Vikings travelled from Denmark, Sweden and Norway to conquer the classrooms in Year 4. Children came dressed as vicious Vikings, where they embarked on a variety of Viking themed activities. In Maths, they used their coordinate skills to identify where dragons were on a map of Europe, in Guided Reading they wrote their names in runes and then in Literacy they became Viking kings and queens who created their own Viking laws and punishments. In the afternoon, children created their own Viking shields before creating their own longboats ready for their first voyage!
Our Deal or no Deal house competition returned this week with a bang! Super house took centre stage for a chance at the grand prize of 1000 house points!

Each week, during our Friday Achievement assembly, we celebrate our ‘Pupils of the Week’ from each year group. Pupils are recognised for this weekly award for a variety of reasons and are nominated by their class teacher. They may have excelled in a particular subject through the week; may have shown one, or more, of the school values in abundance, or they may have impressed their teacher, or other staff members with a huge amount of effort. Whatever they are nominated for, they are recognised in the whole school achievement assembly, receive a certificate to take home and get to wear one of our prestigious black and gold t-shirts.
During the assembly, we also celebrate children who have 100% attendance for the week and have been in school every day on time. A lucky dip, of all children who are eligible takes place, and one pupil walks away with £5 to spend on whatever they want, Standards and presentation of a child’s book, chosen at random, are also reviewed and celebrated with the school and the child, whose book has been chosen, has the chance to win a dip out of the basket of goodies, as long as they have used their best handwriting every day, completed their feed forward marking and taken care in the presentation of their date and learning objective. We are extremely proud of all of the efforts of our pupils and the Friday Achievement assembly recognises this pride.

Smith's Wood brought the excitement to a whole new level with our latest "Deal or No Deal" House Competition! Students went head-to-head aginst the banker in a thrilling game of strategy, risk, and reward. From bold decisions to nail-biting moments, the competition kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
For the first time ever, the entire event was recorded and made available to watch later, allowing everyone to relive the drama or catch up if they missed it live. Whether you were cheering from the sidelines or taking part in the action, this was a Spider House event to remember!
