Some parents also attended a meeting where they got to ask any questions regarding SATs.

Halal chicken is not currently being served to primary pupils.

Pupils can wear anything red. It would be great to see some red noses too.

Some pupils and staff came in their PJs and brought in their blankets and favourite teddy bears. 

Throughout the week pupils took part in a programme of activities based around bedtime stories. 

Year six brought in their own books from home and swapped them with other children in their year groups.

Primary teacher Ms Hardy said: "There was a real buzz and lots of excitement in the build-up to the book swap, with many children choosing to bring in more than one book.

"In fact, Nevaeh in year three chose to bring in 22 books. The younger pupils enjoyed their book swap with the help of their parents, who joined the children to choose their new books.

"They then spent some time reading their new books together."

Parents are welcome to come into their child’s classroom at 2:30pm and take a peek at the SAT papers, as well as see how we teach the children specific strategies and prepare them for the tests.

Additionally, there will be a meeting at 9:00am and at 3:30pm so that parents can look at examples of past papers and ask questions regarding the tests.

We would like to offer a free breakfast service for year six pupils during SATs, which will take place from Monday 13th - Thursday 16th May.

Pupils should arrive from 8:30am for breakfast. There is no booking requirement for this.

The trip was planned in partnership with Nottingham Trent University with the aim of developing the children’s understanding of Human Rights.

Pupils were given the opportunity to explore the museum and see inside the court room.

They also participated in a criminalising Christmas workshop where they were shown how Christmas has developed over the years and how the law has changed regarding the festival.

During the visit pupils explored different exhibits, handled a range of artefacts and took part in games related to laws and human rights.

The children enjoyed creating lanterns, drawing dragons, making masks and folding red and gold card to create the body for their dragons.

They were also given the opportunity to practise writing Happy New Year in Chinese lettering.

IntoUniversity in St Ann's is the second centre to open in partnership with The University of Nottingham.

The national scheme offers an innovative programme that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to attain either a university place or another chosen aspiration.

During their visit year six pupils also learned about what life is like at university.

Day 1

The children participated in a range of experiments related to evolution and adaptation. For example, the children had to investigate how polar bears survive in cold weather.

They were also split into four teams: Charles Darwin, Natural Selection, Galapagos Island and DNA, where they had to complete a secret mission based around their chosen area.

Day 2

The children met students from The University of Nottingham, who talked to the children about different animals that have adapted to their habitats. In the afternoon, the children continued with their ‘secret mission’ poster.

Day 3

The children visited Wollaton Hall where they learnt more about Charles Darwin and what he discovered during his trip to the Galapagos Island. They also looked at different skulls and matched them to time periods, discussing the evolution of man. In addition to this, the children conducted an experiment investigating different shaped beaks and the effect they had on the foods the birds could eat. In the afternoon, the children were given the opportunity to explore the exhibits inside the Wollaton Hall.

Day 4

They learnt all about life at University and discussed the different courses available. The children also had to present their findings and how this knowledge will help them in the future, e.g. where they want to study, what they want to study and who they want to live with. In the afternoon, they children were given the chance to practise their presentations and fine-tune their performances.

Day 5

The children were given a tour of Nottingham University and introduced to university life. They were also given the time to practise their presentations and perform them to their parents, who watched their children graduating from this week’s Into University theme.

During their visit they had a chance to look at an exciting range of non-fiction books.

They also purchased books for the school library at the Sneinton Boulevard campus.

Teacher Mrs Hewitt said: “It was a first visit to Waterstones for many of the boys and many wanted to go back for another visit.

“We hope primary pupils will enjoy reading the new books in the library.”
