Tollgate’s Messenger Friday 5th July, 2019

This Week…

Year 4 had an amazing trip to Clip’n’Climb in Cambridge. They were complimented on their behaviour on the

train journeys. They all showed great resilience and motivation to climb the range of walls on offer.

Year 2 had an amazing day at Felixstowe; they enjoyed a paddle in the sea and an ice cream on the beach!

Nursery enjoyed exploring Brandon Country Park. They went on a nature walk and had time to play.

Reception to Year 4 took part in Sports Day; it was a great afternoon! The children all tried their best and

enjoyed the range of activities on offer. Our thanks go to Mr Marsahll, Miss Vincent, Mr Hamill and the

Sports Leaders who led the whole event. Thanks to the FoTS for providing ice pops at the end!

Our grand total for the FoTS Bubble Run is £3,085. This is incredible. Well done!

Class in Focus...Owls

This week’s class in focus is the treble NIMO award winning Owl class! Owl class, and the rest of Tollgate, were treated to a gloriously sunny sports day on Thursday! We all had a fantastic time trying out new activities and giving everything our best shot. The daily mile and P.E lessons involving hurdles and javelins certainly gave us a head start! Owls also learnt about Boudicca’s rebellion against the Romans and have been progressing towards writing a recount by watching a clip which told the story, sequencing the events and ensuring we know all of the technical vocabulary – so we now know our conquerors from our conkers! We also learnt that you cannot trust all that you see as we compared a description of Boudicca written by Roman writers thousands of years ago to drawings of her throughout the ages – some even got her hair colour wrong! Keep your fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes crossed for us to win NIMO for a fourth time in a row!
