Autumn Term
Pupil Voice - What our children have said about enrichment this term:
Our thoughts on Skipping Day:
Summary of what you did: We built up skills and confidence to use skipping ropes. We learned to cross over, butterfly, double bounce, red arrows and skipping as a big group.
What did you like about the visit? The woman was kind and gave us complements, which helped us build our confidence! The lady was really positive and helpful, giving us tips on how to improve. She built our resilience by helping us through what we found tricky and not letting us give up. She made us laugh! I liked that there were different sizes of the ropes for all of us to access. “At first, I was scared in case I was hit by the rope but the woman made me feel less scared!” – Charlotte.
Our thoughts on Hoopstarz Day:
Summary of what you did: In our session, we practised our hula-hooping skills and learnt new tricks. The tricks we practised and learnt were the munchkin with 360, Angel of the North on one leg, thread the needle, the lasso, stir the pot, scoop the ice cream, infinity, slinky and around your neck. She added extra challenges for us.
What did you like about the visit? We enjoyed all of the new tricks we learned and seeing how much we could do! We liked building on the skills we learned last year and succeeding in making ourselves better. We enjoyed being active and always doing something! "I didn’t even realise I was that good and could do those tricks” – Joseph.
Our thoughts on our Amazon Careers Online Workshop:
Summary of what you did: We heard from 3 people about their jobs and how they got there. One person worked with Alexa! We learned about lots of different jobs you can get at Amazon.
What did you like about the experience? It was interesting to hear how Alexa is made because we use that in real life! It was very detailed and interesting to learn real jobs. They made it clear and easy to understand even though the jobs were complicated! I liked that they made it interactive with games and active breaks even on a zoom call! We liked how we got to ask them questions.
What new knowledge have you gained from this? We learned that you don’t need to go to university to be an engineer. We learned that anyone can work at Amazon! I learned that people actually code Alexas!
What will you tell others about the experience? I didn’t realise there was lots of different jobs at Amazon – I only thought there was one and that was packaging! I didn’t know they had a networking system at Amazon! We thought it was interesting that one of the speakers was a girl and she was challenging stereotypes being a coder!

What new knowledge have you gained from this visit? We learnt how to make swings and how park equipment is put together. We had a close up look and looked in more detail about each structure had been made.
What will you tell others about the visit? It was fun to walk to the park to see how the structures are made. Nice to get fresh air and not be in the classroom.

Our thoughts on Harvest Festival Celebrations:
Summary of what you did: We went up to the church for our Harvest Festival performance. We performed 2 songs to an audience and the whole school song. We also listened to the service.
What did you like about the visit? We got to listen to other classes’ songs. It was nice to share our song with other people. It was nice to be out in the community sharing what we do. We enjoyed singing. Mr Mason’s story was also really good – well done Miss Rodgers and Mr Varty.
What new knowledge have you gained from this visit? We learnt about the story of Jesus and the rich and poor people. We need to cherish God and everything that is done for us.
