Wizard of Oz
Wed 12 Jul 2023This year, our Year 5 and 6 end-of-year production was "The Wizard of Oz." What an amazing performance by all the children! The singing, dancing, costumes, and props were outstanding. Everyone played their part, from the actors and the choir to the stagehands and the tech crew. Well done to everyone involved for a fabulous end-of-year production, and congratulations to the Year 5 and 6 staff team for their dedication in putting this together. It will be a wonderful memory for our Year 6 pupils to take away with them from their time at Gilthill.

Dogs Trust Workshops
Mon 05 Jun 2023Yesterday, a representative from Dogs Trust came into school to deliver a whole school assembly and carry out some workshops with our KS2 children.
The children learnt about how to be safe around dogs, including how to read dog body language! I received a lovely email from Dogs Trust this morning saying how polite and welcoming our children were. They have also given us a certificate and shared some links to their website and workshops they have available. If you would like to find out more, please click on the links below.
Well done Gilthill. It is always lovely to her such positive feedback. We all learnt a lot about keeping ourselves safe when out and about in our local community.

PTA Colour Run
Fri 19 May 2023Gilthill PTA Colour Run 2023
What a fantastic afternoon! Here are just a few photos from today's colour run. The children (and staff!) had a wonderful time running and walking the course and getting showered in colour. We managed to get everyone to complete the race twice for an extra rainbow splash!
Thank you to the parents who came along to cheer us on, to Mr Clarke and the other staff for organising the children and to our fabulous PTA for organising the event and getting very messy in the process.

Flash Mob
Fri 28 Apr 2023Bob Fosse Flash Mob!
Today we had an amazing afternoon at Gilthill. We came together to perform our whole school flash mob in the style of Bob Fosse. The children (and staff) have loved learning the routines and we had such fun performing it on the playground.
A huge thank you to Miss Withe who choreographed every routine, sorted music and even videoed the performance. We couldn't have done this without her talent and passion for dance.
A huge thank you to staff for getting their jazz hands at the ready and getting stuck in and to all our Gilthill children. From those who love dancing to those who were trying it for the first time, everyone had a go and enjoyed themselves and learnt so much about the inspirational Bob Fosse along the way.

Maths 'escape room' event
Mon 24 Apr 2023Last week the whole school worked on their own 'escape room' activity. Maths is one of our school development areas this year and so we designed an event to really showcase our maths skills. Each class had to crack the code to rescue someone before the time ran out! The children had great fun. They were using their reasoning and deeper thinking skills as well as their team building and cooperation skills.
Thank you to Mrs Langmaid, our maths lead and all the class teachers for organising and to our children for showcasing their love of maths.
