• 2KC Singing at the Eastgate Centre for St Luke’s Hospice

  Fri 25 Mar 2022

  2KC were delighted to take part in the Mother’s Day sing-along at the Eastgate Shopping Centre. It was our first trip out as a class, so the children were bursting with excitement to go on the Phoenix minibus! The children represented the school amazingly. We were commended by local shoppers and parents for their exceptional behaviour. We sang a number of uplifting songs, such as, You Are My Sunshine and You Raise Me Up. The children’s beautiful singing meant that there was not a dry eye in the house! We look forward to hearing how much we have raised for St Luke’s Hospice.

  

• The Lee Chapel Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) Poetry Slam 202

  Thu 24 Mar 2022

  We were delighted to host a Poetry Slam, for the Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), at The Phoenix Primary School and Nursery this morning. The theme was ‘My Voice – Let Me Be Heard’, which was particularly appropriate as we emerge from the isolation of the pandemic. Children were inspired by a multitude of current world issues, such as: COVID; the injustice of war, deforestation and homelessness, to name a few. We were lucky enough to welcome a local author, Holly Wadsworth-Hill, and West End performer, Sophia Ragavelas, to the judging panel. They were blown away by the children’s performances and had a difficult time deciding on the ‘Best Poem’ and ‘Best Performance’ for each year group. Georgia and Kiera from Year 4, and Emily and Sanam from Year 5, represented our school extremely well and we are so proud of all of their efforts. It was such an amazing morning and it was extremely rewarding to see the children from the schools across the MAT come together for this very special event. We are looking forward to Poetry Slam 2023!

  

• Comic Relief/ Red Nose Day!

  Fri 18 Mar 2022

  It was a very busy day today with Red Nose Day. A huge thank you to Mr Hann and the Junior Governing Body for their organisation and hard work this week. We sold over 300 red noses which proved extremely popular – selling out really quickly! Today we all wore red and donated money and we had a cake sale, run by the JGB and classes completed Red Nose Day activities in class.

  So far, we have raised £1,301.62! Thank you for all your kind donations. 

  A very successful day – all round! Go Team Phoenix!

• World Book Week ~ Author Visit

  Thu 03 Mar 2022

  As part of World Book ‘Week’ celebrations, we have had an author, Holly Wadsworth-Hill, visit our school and complete workshops with children in Years 1-4. Holly is a local author who creates books to support inclusion, enhance reading skills and develop imagination. Her books have a creative twist – the reader becomes the illustrator.

  Holly has kindly set up a code on her website, www.picture-thisbooks.com which can be used by all families of our school. This code entitles buyers to 25% off of their order. The code has no expiration date, so will be valid to use on any new titles published.

   

  The code to apply is: PHOENIXPRIMARY

   

  We would like to thank you for your continued support in developing your child’s love of reading. We look forward to continuing to share upcoming activities and events with you soon.
