On Thursday, eight year 5 children had the opportunity to visit Harvey Hadden and try out a new sport... Boccia! The children had a great time learning the rules, trying to better their opposition and developing their skills. Miss Lawson was impressed with how responsive our children were to trying out a new sport. Well done team! 

Recognition Time is always a lovely way to spend a Friday morning; celebrating those pupils who have gone above and beyond this week.  Well done to each one of you who has impressed a member of staff with your work ethic, attitude or conduct around school, you make us PROUD!

Best bits about school this week are:

 - Art because I love drawing

 - Science because you do cool experiments

 - Maths because you learn lots!

 - OPAL because you can play it lots of areas of school

A big well done to the children who received recognition time this week, we were particularly impressed with how helpful they had been to staff and our youngest members of school.

We are very pleased to announce that we now have a clothing recycling bin at OBS. It has been delivered from'Rag Bag', who will pay school every time it needs to be emptied. This will be another way for OBS to raise much needed funds.

 

 

Well done to all the children who have taken part in the Bikeability sessions over the last couple of weeks and completed Level 1 and Level 2. It has been great to see children's confidence grow, especially whilst riding on the roads around our community. A big thank you to the Bikeability team, who enabled some of our Year 5 children to have this great opportunity. 

Our girls football team looked and played fantastic this week in their BRAND NEW kits funded by the Premier League Primary Stars programme. The new kit was a big hit with the team, who all felt a sense of pride when they put it on. 

The girls represented OBS brilliantly when playing against Carrington this week. 

What a start to the Summer Term!  So many children being recognised within the first week back.  The majority of the children were chosen by our lunchtime Play Team for being kind, helpful and showing respect within the hall or outside during OPAL play - well done!

When I asked the children what the best bits of school were, they shared:

- football with OPAL (but not the wellies!)

- lunchtimes

- OPAL

- Scooters at lunchtimes

- Science

- making 3D models in computing

- History - the Mayans

 

With their magic wands and no money worries they would like:

- more running

- swings and slides

- more OPAL

- to climb trees

- a hot tub!

- more school/class pets

- more football

- more computing

 

When asked 'what can I do to make school better?' they shared:

- longer lunchtimes

- no wellies with football

- KS2 having longer on the wheelies (bikes/scooters)

- bring back Infinity

- More OPAL

 

 

The Old Basford football team has been crowned league champions today after a season in which they were undefeated. A big congratulations to all of the squad for this fantastic achievement. 

Welcome back to the Summer Term.  I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed the improving weather.  The summer term is always busy, so please make sure you have added the key dates to your diary; these were sent out before the holidays but can be found in the 'Headteacher letters' section of the website.
