Welcome

Dear Parents,

We have had a fantastic week of learning at Charlton. The children really enjoyed learning about the Winter Olympics as part of this term’s inter-house school competition; we have included some of photos below showing the range of activities which children participated in.

I’m excited to announce that we have arranged a residential for the year 5 & 6 class between 13th-15th July at Hill End Camp. Mrs Brandon and Miss Phillips will be sharing more details with you next week! Have a great weekend.

Mr Griffin

Safeguarding

Charlton-on-Otmoor Primary School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our Designated Leads for Safeguarding are Ross Griffin, Headteacher and Amanda Clarke. They should be the first point of contact for any concerns around safeguarding and concerns linked to any child. They are both available in school. Heather Phillips is our Safeguarding Governor, and she can also be contacted via the school office.

 

 

Explorers

In Explorers this week the children have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year and celebrating the arrival of the Year of the Tiger. Using chopsticks to pick up rubber band noodles and small world play with toy tigers were particularly popular!

NB-FSU PE will take place on Tuesday next week instead of Monday. Children will need to come to school in their PE kit on this day.

 

 

 

Pathfinders

In our class this week we have been learning about measuring. We have used cubes, hands, rulers and even metre sticks! We discussed which equipment to use for different sized objects and made estimates. We have even been practising our measuring using chalk on the playground!

 

 

Adventurers

Year 3/4 have been learning all about pilgrimages in their RE unit. This week they were very lucky to have a special visitor.

Nigel has personal experience in this area and came in to share it with the children. He talked about his journey and his adventurous experience. The children got to ask him questions and see what things had had collected along the way.

 

 

Navigators

This week, Year 5/6 have been planning a conversation in their English lessons between two characters, the King and the stranger, from their class text, Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘A Princess’ Blankets’. They have come up with some fantastic ideas and vocabulary, and are going to be writing up the piece on Friday. We can’t wait to see the results!
