Our new library area!
We are so pleased with our new library. We were lucky to have some furniture gifted to the school and a member of the library service into school to organise the area. Thank you to everyone who has helped to scan and organise all our books
At our latest parents evening, we asked our parents for feedback about the school. Here are the results
Well done to Butleigh School Guitarists who entered the Taunton Festival of the Arts and achieved several special awards between them.
On Friday, we enjoyed having fun with number to celebrate the NSPCC’s Number Day. We raised £70 which has been donated to the NSPCC to support with running Child Line, an important resource for children.
There was lots of problem solving, reasoning, puzzles, a Maths photo treasure hunt around school and the chance to dress up in Mufti numbers.
We are very excited to announce that our school won their first netball match of the year with a massive 9-1 win. Well done Team Butleigh!
The whole school had a fantastic afternoon filled with lots of exercise and different activities. Each class and our school nursery had the chance to work with Jack Rutter, our Paralympic footballer visitor and find out about his experience as an athlete.
He gave a motivational talk about the importance of exercise for fun and wellbeing. The whole school did a work out with Jack outside to music and then he told the children about his incredible journey to getting to the Olympic Games. The school raised over £600 in sponsor money to go towards PE equipment in school. A massive thank you for every ones support with fundraising.
The whole school enjoyed their Geography Day. Each class explored a different place with Owl Class looking at the UK, Kite Class focused on the USA, Kestrel Class explored Italy and Falcon Class delved a little deeper into Greece, linked to their topic this term.
This was a lovely opportunity for the children to all find out a little more about different places in the world and better understand where each place is located in relation to where we live.
There was lots of map work, atlas study and learning about the world happening around the school – a fun day of learning.
Kite class were very lucky to end their day with a song about New York sung by Mr Short!
Off to a flying start for 2022!
Owl's class enjoyed the winter sun this week in outdoor learning where they made kites and learnt how to fly them.
This term we are exploring our 'Honesty' value. As a school, we spent the day thinking about what honesty means and why it is important. We then came together to share what we had learnt and the exciting activities we completed based on this value. KS2 read the Book of Proverb, while KS1 focused on David and the Wolf. The children enjoyed drama, artwork and Bible stories as well as writing their own prayers about Honesty.
We spent part of the morning in Key Stages at the church for our Christmas Service. It was so lovely to hear some of our House Captains and children from Falcon class share the story of Christmas with us. The children also sang a range of Christmas songs including, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. We were very lucky to hear two brave year 6 girls sing the opening part of Once in Royal David's City absolutely beautifully. The Service ended with a blessing from Rev. Chris.
