Cycle Festival and Cycle to School Day
As part of our involvement in Project BoB, we are planning to hold
a cycle festival on Monday 22nd June. This will involve class based
activities around the theme as well as practical activities within the school
grounds. The Community Policeman will be in school during the morning to talk
to the children in Key stage 2 about cycling safely. Project BoB will be
bringing in a ‘Shore Trax’ (see picture below) for the Key Stage 2 children to
ride on and we will set up suitable courses for the Key Stage 1 children.
We would also like as many children as possible to cycle to school
on this day and we will set up areas on the school field, near the yellow bars,
for the children to leave their bikes. Can we take this opportunity to stress
the importance of wearing cycle helmets when riding bicycles and ask you to
support us by reinforcing this at home with your children.
Cricket Success
On Monday 8th June, Martham Primary School took
part in the Year 5/6 Partnership Kwik Cricket Competition which was held at
Halvergate Cricket Ground. They competed against children from several other local
schools who all displayed developing cricketing skills and good sportsmanship.
During the course of each match, the children all bowled an over and batted for
two.
There were only three teams in the girl’s competition, so
they played each other twice. Martham were undefeated and so qualified for the
County Finals which will be held at Old Buckenham on Monday 29th
June.
In the boy’s
competition there were seven teams, Martham lost to only one of them, Cliff
Park Junior, who were very strong and eventually the overall and deserved winners.
Martham finished the competition in second place, a great achievement.
Congratulations to all the children who took part and good
luck to the girls for the next stage of the competition.Tuesday 9 June 2015
Reception's new storytelling chair.
As summer is now officially in swing, the children in
Reception are able to enjoy their brand new storytelling chair. This will add
to our growing outdoor area and provide a space for children to play games
(perhaps imagining they are in a Giant’s castle or the King or Queen) as well
as listening to stories.
A HUGE thank you to ‘Out with the Old’ for not only building
the wonderful chair but organising its delivery! Special thanks go to the nameless volunteer, a man with a
van, who delivered the chair to us for FREE!
Thank you – from all the children, enjoying the outdoors this
summer.

Congratulations
to the Year 6 children who took part in a Tchoukball festival at Flegg High

Swimming Gala
On Friday 15th
May we took part in our first swimming gala. A team of 21 children travelled to
Great Yarmouth High School to compete against other local schools. Everyone in
the team was nervous and with only a couple of children having previously swum
in a gala before there were lots of questions; Where do I swim? When do I swim?
How far have I got to go?
As the races began, nerves settled
and every competitor swam as fast as they could. Overall Martham came second.
Congratulations to all the children who took part and to the organisers.
Particular congratulations go to the three children from Martham who came first
place in their races, Sarah in the girls front-crawl, William in the boys front-crawl and Stanley in the boys backstroke and breaststroke.
