The children and staff had a great time taking part in the Dance-a-thon on the 8th February, with everyone showing their values of determination, perseverance and courage to carry on going throughout the day!
The tunes that the children and staff chose were played at the 4 different time slots through the school day. Everybody looked great in the mufti dance clothes!
The highlight of the day was the freestyle dance off section at 11.05am, where everyone got to show off their best moves whilst everyone cheered and clapped them! Amazing fun and we do have some great dancers here at Houghton Conquest! The tunes are still being played now during ‘Fun Friday Lunchtime Disco!’
Today staff from the NSPCC joined our assembly to thank everyone that took part. We raised an amazing £700 for the NSPCC! The winning class with the overall highest amount of money raised was Robins with £302!
WELL DONE! THANK YOU!
The children came into school this morning to find that an alien space ship had, over the weekend, crash landed near the pirate ship on the school grounds.
This provided the children with a great stimulus for their Spring Big Write. The children look forward to sharing their amazing writing with parents on Thursday, at 2.45pm.
A great time was had by all again in the final day of planting yesterday with Pre-school popping up to see what was happening. A big thank you to everyone that made this possible.
Owls Class took their turn to plant trees and shrubs this afternoon. A productive and fun afternoon for all.
Our first day of tree planting. Doves are having a great afternoon in the sun planting some tree/shrubs along the Forest School fence line.

Following our Spring 1 Values Ambassador competition we are pleased to announce that, as of today, Tony (Phoenix) will represent Key Stage 2 as the Values Ambassador and Cameron (Doves) is now the Key Stage One Ambassador. Tony and Cameron both demonstrated excellent commitment to their New Years Resolutions. Both boys gave themselves writing challenges, with Tony writing a new poem each week and Cameron writing a whole new book each week. Both these children have demonstrated the values of commitment, perseverance and responsibility. They both truly deserve this role.
It was another successful Internet Safety Day for the school with lots of learning about this year’s motto ‘Together for a better internet’. The children in Robins and KS1 enjoyed spending the morning learning about making the right choices on-line. In KS2 they learnt about giving and asking for permission when online.
Congratulations to our winner and runner up in the recent art competition. They both received a selection of art and craft items kindly donated by Mulberry Homes in our celebration assembly today – congratulations. The school also received a donation of £100 which will go towards arts and crafts items for the school.
Yesterday, each class participated in a judo taster session from a fully qualified British Judo coach. The children really enjoyed the session and completed a range of activities in order to develop their skills.
