We are so proud of our Year 2 children for their fantastic speaking, singing and dancing in our Christmas performance of the Hoity Toity Angel. They really are superstars!
In our History lessons we have been learning all about Florence Nightingale. Florence was a nurse who cared for soldiers during the Crimean war – she changed the way patients were treated, improved conditions of the hospitals, and became the founder of modern nursing.
Class 6 were absolutely amazed to see Florence appear in our school! She must have travelled here from the past! She was a very kind lady and told us all about her life and her experiences as a nurse in the 1800s. The children asked her lots of brilliant questions and learnt lots of facts about her. They then wrote some fantastic recounts of her visit.
Last Friday, year 1 took part in a mini tennis festival at Temple Park. We learned lots of new tennis skills, like;
How to serve
Backhand hit
Forehand hit
We had lots of fun and enjoyed putting our new skills into practice with a game of floor tennis!
Our school was inspected by Ofsted on 8th and 9th October, and our school is GOOD in all areas!
The report is now available on our website under Key Information, and children will be given a copy to bring home.
The Report will also be published on the Ofsted reports website by the end of next week.
We would like to thank you all for your support and for trusting us with your children every day.
As we come to the end of one school year, it is time to reflect on everything that has happened and the amazing memories we have made at Monkton Infants. Our children are central to everything we do – and I am sure they have all had a fabulous year.
It is now time to look ahead and to plan the next adventures and learning experiences for the pupils of Monkton Infants as they keep ‘Aiming High’ in 2024 – 2025.
