So far today there have been virtual reality experiences using VR headsets in Year 3 and scooters and playdough creations in reception and best of all, lots of smiley faces. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-VR Tue, 06 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT A 'splashtastic' day out was had by the children and staff of the VI Provision at Dunstable Splash Park on Wednesday 20th July. The children showed their Chantry Values, sharing, playing and laughing together. This was a sensory celebration to end a fabulous year of learning and growing together! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Splashtastic-Day Wed, 20 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMT Tuesday 19th July 2022 http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Mozart Tue, 19 Jul 2022 00:00:00 GMT Some of our VI pupils access occupational therapy-style activities with their supporting adult. This is to help develop their fine motor and finger control skills, which will, in turn, improve their hand-eye coordination, hand-writing and touch typing skills. One of our pupils made this brilliant model in her session today and had fun pushing the bricks together and making them click into place. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Lego-House Wed, 22 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT Today we have been exploring a new set of braille and tactile books made by a local Bedfordshire family, the Wards. They have a son who has a visual impairment and wanted more books to be available for children with visual impairments to connect with and relate to. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Braille-and-Tactile-Books Wed, 08 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT Today year 2 was lucky enough to have a visit from Freshwater Theatre Company to begin their unit of work about The Great Titanic. The workshop was led by a facilitator who was in the character of many roles involved in the disaster, helping the children to transport and explore back in time. The children explored history through drama activities and learnt all about the great disaster of The Titanic and the important people involved. They had a fantastic time and are now keen to learn lots more about this historic event! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-2-WOW-Titanic-workshop Tue, 07 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT On 25th May 2022, Reception took their first trip and had their fantastic finish at Woodside Animal farm! Our topic this half term was ‘Amazing Animals’, which we have been learning lots about. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Reception-Fantastic-Finish-Woodside-Animal-Farm Thu, 26 May 2022 00:00:00 GMT In Year 2 today, as part of our science about animals and their habitats, we have been lucky enough to have a visit from 'Teaching Talons'. They had a fantastic selection of animals to share. We were able to stroke and hold them making sure that we sat quietly and still so we did not scare them. Amongst the creatures we met were an African Bullfrog called Jeremiah, who enjoyed eating worms, and a magnificent Southern White-Faced owl called Pigwidgeon. The children were very sensible and learnt lots of new facts ready for our next lesson! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-2-WOW-Teaching-Talons Thu, 21 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT In the baking sunshine, nine of our pupils travelled to take part in some Adventure Games. This was the first time Luton had organised an event like this, so we did not know what to expect! What we were greeted with was 2 hours of fun-packed activities including archery, nerf gun battles and team quizzes. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/What-a-Day-for-an-Adventure Fri, 25 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT This week some of the VI provision pupils have been creating braille sentences using special braille Lego blocks. Two of our pupils attended a special sports event and even got a bullseye in the archery session! Our horse riding group have also been out and about enjoying a picnic in the sunshine at the riding stables today. What a busy bunch! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-News Thu, 24 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT Eleven of our Year 5 & 6 pupils, who are completing their Red Pine Outdoor Award in Mr Day’s Forest School club, planted overone hundred trees at the end of our school field. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Looking-Towards-the-Future Mon, 21 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT After a week of glorious sunshine, last Wednesday the rain came down in ways we had not seen in months. This did not stop 12 of our year 5 and 6 pupils from playing a mini-football festival with children from Southfield Primary School. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Football-Festival Wed, 16 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT Wednesday morning saw twelve of Year 4’s budding athletics attend a Net and Wall Sports Festival at the Inspire Sports Village. This was an opportunity for our pupils to try sports that they may not have tried before. Whilst at the event they tried 4 sports, badminton, volleyball, table tennis and archery. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and enjoyed the prospect of us trying some of these activities back at school. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-4-Net-and-Wall-Sports-Festival Wed, 23 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT Today Year 2 welcomed Mr Bright and his percussion instruments into class. All the instruments were made from a range of recycled materials including plastic bottles, pots and pans. We even used flip-flops to play some of the instruments! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-2-WOW-Percussion-workshop Tue, 22 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT A contingent of Key Stage 2 pupils had a super time expending lots of energy today, when they visited the amazing SALTO Gym in Sundon Park! The children had a 'free-play' session, where they had sole use of the whole gym and were able to make use of equipment such as trampolines, the inflatable slide, balance beams and tumble pits. It was lovely to see the children having such a great time and listening to the squeals of laughter and joy fill the air. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/SALTO-gym-visit Sat, 12 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT Children in Year 3 were transported back to the past today when they participated in a fun-filled Roman day to celebrate the end of their unit of work on the 'Beware the Romans' book. Everyone had such a fun time, getting to taste foods of the time, making their own shields and wreaths and dressing up as Roman folk. The children have absorbed so much information this half-term, we're very proud of them all! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-3-Fantastic-Finish-20022022220611 Fri, 11 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT Our Year One pupils have been reading the timeless classic, 'Corduroy' this half-term and have loved learning about toys in the process. Today, they combined several elements of their learning by putting their newly learnt sewing skills into practice by designing and making their own super cute hand puppets! We were so impressed with how focused and determined the children were to ensure they all ended up with some wonderful end products! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-1-Fantastic-Finish Fri, 11 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT This half-term, amongst many other exciting topics, children in Year 4 have been learning all about the Jewish faith and what it means to be Jewish. To end their learning, today they made some Jewish scrolls, tried apple dipped in honey (a tradition in Judaism) and even made their own dreidels, which are special spinning tops that are played withduring the Jewish festivalof Hanukkah. As you can see, the children very much enjoyed themselves today. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-4-Fantastic-FInish Fri, 11 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT In Year 2, as part of our design and technology/pizzeria enterprise studies, the children have been designing and creating delicious pizzas. They started by making the dough and then adding toppings of their own choice based on a tasting exercise of healthy ingredients in a previous lesson. The children took them home to bake and enjoy! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Fantastic-Finish-Year-2-Pizzeria-Enterprise Fri, 11 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT Year 5 have loved reading the timeless classic, The B.F.G this half-term, so it was no surprise that their Fantastic Finish paid homage to the story. Being inspired by the mysterious 'dream jars' from the tale, the children set to task creating their own alternatives- dream bags- putting into good use the wide range of sewing stitches they've been learning over the past few weeks. It was wonderful to see such creativity on show, with every design looking so different from the next and the children being incredibly proud of their hard work! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-5-Fantastic-Finish Thu, 10 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT After an exciting half-term of reading the Cornish short story collection, 'The White Horse of Zennor', Year 6 pupils finished their learning with a very practical cookery session, making some delicious Cornish pasties! The children used the traditional ingredients of beef, potatoes, carrots, swede and onions and enjoyed 'crimping' their pasty's pastry to make sure it was sealed (which had varying degrees of success!). All pasties turned out fantastically, and we received some 5 star reviews for how tasty they were! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-6-Fantastic-Finish Wed, 09 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT The VI provision pupils had an exciting time at the riding stables on Thursday 3rd February. They got to meet the farrier, whose job it is to put horseshoes on the horses' hooves. We couldn’t believe the size differences between the horseshoes. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Horseshoes-Mechanical-Horses Thu, 03 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT Today saw a group of our younger pupils take part in a very exciting enrichment visit to the fabulous Top Jump Inflatable Park in Milton Keynes! The venue is an amazing place to expend some energy with a whole plethora of equipment on offer, and the children took full advantage of this, climbing, leaping, crawling and sliding to their heart's delight! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Top-Jump-fun Sat, 22 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT Some of the VI provision pupils started horse riding again last week. This takes place every Thursday morning at the RDA Gaddesden Riding Stables in Hemel Hempstead. The children love the sessions as they get to learn all about horse care and riding, whilst developing their coordination and concentration skills. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Horse-Riding-26012022163435 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT Our wow this half term was a visit from Mad Science. Pupils in Year 5 were amazed by a fascinating assembly that introduced the topic of states of matter. There were plenty of ‘oohs and aas’ as ‘Atomic’ Aimee demonstrated the wonders of air pressure through a range of experiments from showing how hot air rises by lighting a paper rocket to blowing a toilet roll around the audience using a leaf blower. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-5-WOW-Day Wed, 12 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT Year 6 pupils have recently started to read their engaging new book, 'The White Horse of Zennor' by Michael Morpurgo. The book is a series of short stories centred around Cornwall and its history. To help immerse the children in the first of the stories, 'The Giant's Necklace', they set to work making their own cowrie shell bracelets and necklaces, items which feature prominently in the tale. It was a great way to bring the story 'alive' for the children and an opportunity they thoroughly enjoyed! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-6-cowrie-shell-jewellery Sun, 09 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT The whole VI Provision enjoyed a Christmas WOW factor at Mead Open Farm. What an amazing, busy day with festive lights, animals, a pantomime, playing in the sand, making reindeer food, soft play and, of course, a visit to the one and only Father Christmas! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Christmas-WOW-Factor Thu, 09 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMT This morning we had two very special visitors, a Dentist and a Dental nurse. They spoke to us about the correct way to brush our teeth, how long for and why we need to be brave and go and visit the dentist every six months. They showed us how much sugar were in some foods and we had to guess which foods were healthy and which ones were not! °Å¸ ¦ · http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Reception-A-Visit-from-the-Dentist Wed, 17 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT To kick start our Traditional Tale WOW at school, we asked the children to come in as their favourite fairy tale or book character. We had a wide range of costumes, makeup and had lots of fun throughout the day with different traditional tale themed activities. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Reception-Traditional-Tale-WOW Tue, 02 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT Wednesday afternoon saw 17 of our best year 5 & 6 athletes head over to Inspire Sports Village to compete in the towns Sportshall Athletics competition. Going against other Luton schools in a series of athletic events including relay races, long jump, speed bounce and javelin, they competed to the best of their ability and finished in 7th place. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-5-6-Sportshall-Athletics Wed, 13 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT Here is one of our VI provision pupils having a mobility lesson practising using his cane correctly, with the Luton rehabilitation officer. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Mobility-Cane-Work Fri, 01 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT This term Year 6 are excited to learn all about World War Two.  They will be reading a new novel – Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo.  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/FRIEND-or-FOE Fri, 11 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMT Our community-minded Green Team ventured out for their second 'clean-up' today, this time a lot closer to home, at Lewsey Park. Working together brilliantly and showing oodles of determination, the squad worked with Mr Kelly, Mrs Henry and friends of Chantry Phyl & Kevin, to collect 8 full bags of litter from the park, leaving it a LOT cleaner than it was to begin with! We received lots of lovely, positive comments from members of the public, who were extremely impressed with the efforts of the children. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Green-Team-visit-Lewsey-Park Sun, 16 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT You may remember we received delivery of a lovely-looking (but very plain) elephant recently, to be decorated in aid of the 'Big Trunk Trail' for Keech Hospice. Our pupils set to work creating designs, some of which would eventually be painted onto the elephant, ready for it to join 50 other elephants on the Big Trunk Trail across Luton, later this year.  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Big-Trunk-Trail-update Fri, 14 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT Many of our families were at home celebrating the Islamic festival of Eid-Al-Fitr today with their families, so the children in school also took part in Eid activities, including crafts, cooking, arts and story-telling! The activities were very well-received by the children, who enjoyed learning about the important festival and what it means to Muslims around the world. As you can see, they had a thoroughly enjoyable time taking part in all the exciting activities.  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Eid-celebrations Thu, 13 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT Children across the school loved taking part in the 'Captain Tom 100' challenge this past week, whereby they completed activities linked to the number 100, in memory of the remarkable Captain Tom who died earlier this year. Tom was an inspiration to the nation during lockdown, when his fundraising efforts raised more than £30 million for the NHS. Children up and down the country enjoyed completing their 100 challenges, and here at Chantry, we had such things as running 100 laps of the Ten-a-Day track; writing stories with just 100 words; finding ways to make the number 100; bouncing a ball 100 times and even making towers with 100 blocks in them! It was a lovely day, enjoyed by all, and in memory of such an amazing human being.  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Captain-Tom-100 Mon, 03 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT It was wonderful to see our friends from Teaching Talons again today, who paid both Year 2 and Year 4 a visit to help them learn about animals, their habitats and how they're adapted to where they live. Year 2 are currently looking at nocturnal animals, whilst Year 4 are focusing on animals in the British countryside. There were a whole range of animals on show, many of which the children got to handle or stroke, and all of which the children absolutely loved learning about! Thank you to Becky for leading such informative and fun sessions for the children!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Teaching-Talons-visit Mon, 12 Apr 2021 00:00:00 GMT During the recent lockdown the children from the visual impairment provision have all been really busy learning new things, both in school and at home. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/VI-Lockdown-News Wed, 17 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT We had a terrific time this week, celebrating World Book Day (not just for one day though, but over the whole week!). This year, as expected, there was a mix of both virtual events and hands-on activities taking place at home and also in school. We had virtual author visits from Stewart Ross and Margaret Bateson-Hill, craft activities, story-telling, dressing-up and illustration tutorials; all of which were thoroughly enjoyed by pupils across the school. Well done to everyone who took part and immersed themselves in hte love of reading!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/World-Book-Day-event-week Thu, 04 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT We were very excited to take receipt of an extremely special delivery today in the form of a baby elephant (a model one of course!). The elephant is part of the amazing fundraising venture being organised by Keech Hospice, which will see over 50 elephant models being placed throughout the town centre as part of the 'Big Trunk Trail' for Luton residents to join in with. Our elephant is very blank at the moment though, so our children are working hard to come up with designs at present to inspire a local artist, who will be adorning the elephant with our children's designs and ideas...exciting stuff!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Keech-Hospice-Big-Trunk-Trail Mon, 01 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT We have been honoured during this current lockdown to be the truly grateful recipients of some heartfelt donations from a range of companies and charities who have gifted us laptops and tablets for our pupils to use at home. Many of our families do not have access to suitable devices for home-learning or may simply not have enough devices for more than one child in the household. Through the donations we have received, it will enable a huge number of additional children to participate more fully in online learning and provide them with ability to continue their education. We would like to offer an enormous thank you to: http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Donation-of-Devices Sun, 21 Feb 2021 00:00:00 GMT It's always fun times when it snows and today was no exception! We loved receiving lots and lots of fantastic photos of our families frolicking in the snow and having an amazing time. Snowmen, snow-angels, snowballs, sledging...there was so much enjoyment in the air! Take a look at the amazing things that went on... http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Fun-in-the-Snow Sun, 24 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT We were bowled over by the generosity we experienced today from a range of organisations who made the Christmas Eves of over 75 families in the Pioneer Learning Trust very memorable indeed! Luton Foodbank, Level Trust and Luton Town FC combined to provide cooked meals, presents, treats, crackers and snacks to a whole plethora of families!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Christmas-Eve-special-deliveries Thu, 24 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT We had a very mischievous visitor who popped in to see our younger pupils today. Buddy the Elf came to Chantry and kindly took some presents to each class. However... he was a bit cheeky and got up to all sorts! Spinning around on teachers' chairs, hiding in cupboards, trying to eat some of the children's snacks and even dancing to songs on YouTube! Luckily, Mrs Lloyd (the 'elf and safety officer') kept him in check and encouraged him to show our school values . http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Buddy-the-Elf-visits Fri, 18 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT Thanks to the kindness and love shown by Dunelm customers and staff in Dunstable, we were the grateful recipients of 15 shoeboxes full of gifts for some of our most deserving families at Chantry. Over the past couple of months, Dunelm customers have been taking 'tags' off of their Christmas tree. On each tag is the age and gender of a child, along with their interests. The customer then kindly purchases gifts to brighten that particular child's Christmas time! The scheme ended up with over 200 tags being taken by customers- that's 200 very happy children on Christmas Day 2020!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Thank-you-to-Dunelm Tue, 15 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT A huge well done to these superstar readers from Key Stage 2 who were the autumn term Accelerated Reader champions! These 12 pupils have read the most books, achieved the highest number of AR points and have also read the most words too (2 of them have now read over one million words each!).  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Accelerated-Reader-stars Mon, 14 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT Not so long ago, we asked staff, parents & children if they would like to help the Luton Rotary Club by filling shoeboxes with gifts, which would then be sent off to some of the most disadvantaged and deprived areas in Eastern Europe. We were expecting a handful of shoeboxes to be requested, so couldn't believe it when 92 shoeboxes were taken and then subsequently returned full of amazing gifts!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Rotary-Club-shoebox-appeal Wed, 09 Dec 2020 00:00:00 GMT Our Reception pupils kicked off their new learning about traditional tales this week by having a special dress up and crafts day! It was wonderful to see gingerbread men, Red Riding Hoods, princesses, pigs and wolves playing with one another and having fun. In classes, children designed and created their own traditional characters, acted out stories, did some baking and went on a gingerbread man hunt in the playground....they had so much fun! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Reception-traditional-tales Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT Currently, Year 6 are studying Ancient Greece and as it's not quite possible for them to travel to Ancient Greece to see what living in that time period, instead, Ancient Greece came to them! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-6-Greek-experience Wed, 04 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT What a wonderful experience Year 5 pupils had today, when they were visited by an amazing virtual reality company who took the children on a journey into outer space! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-5-virtual-reality-day Tue, 03 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT A sweet treat was in store for Year 4 today when they were paid a visit by the awesome Chocolate Museum who came all the way from London to see the children! http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-4-Chocolate-Museum-visit Mon, 02 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT Our next Rotakids event took place today, which saw our committed group of children planting 500 bulbs around the school site! The event linked to the Rotary Club's international goal to end the Polio disease around the world. When children around the world receive the Polio vaccine, their pinky finger is stained with purple dye to indicate they've had the vaccine. The purple is significant as that's what colour the crocus bulbs will bloom into!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Rotakids-bulb-planting-event Sat, 24 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT Our Rotakids finally got to take part in their first community project today, organising a fantastic litter pick at Lewsey Park! In partnership with their Rotary Club counterparts, the children teamed up and showed great unity to work together to collect over 20 bags, full to the brim with litter. The children had a terrific time with their grabbers, whizzing through the park, collecting any litter they cast their eyes on! They also showed great friendship skills by finding out all about the Rotary Club members who were present, getting to know them well.  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Rotakids-Litter-Pick Sun, 27 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT Year 5 took part in a very colourful and energetic WOW this week as they participated in a Bollywood Dance workshop.

The workshop began with a warm up exercise learning techniques such as screw the light bulb, cut the corn and Bollywood style DAB. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-5-Bollywood-dancing Thu, 17 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT Friend of Chantry, Lorraine, visited Year One today to immerse them in a whole range of African inspired dance and drama activities. The children learnt all about African animals, traditional instruments and different patterns and textiles associated with Africa. The sessions linked in nicely to the book the children are currently looking at called Anansi the Spider, all about a sly spider, who lives in Africa and plays sneaky tricks on his animal friends! A big well done to the children for taking part so well and demonstrating our values of friendship and determination throughout!  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-1-African-dance Mon, 14 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT As a part of their Caribbean topic, Year 4 were lucky enough to have the opportunity to learn how to play the steel pan drums along with representatives from the Revellers Steel Band group today. They learnt and performed a rhythm that turned out to be the chorus for a Justin Bieber song!They were also treated to a performance by a steel pan drum musician who entertained them with a variety of music styles from reggae to pop! The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and were able to get a true flavour of Caribbean carnival music and culture. http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-4-steel-pan-drumming Fri, 11 Sep 2020 00:00:00 GMT As part of the fabulous book they're studying (Malala's Magic Pencil), Year 2 made and flew some terrific kites today! The book is set in Pakistan and tells the story of young Malala, whose magic pencil is used to draw away some of the not-so-nice things that were around her when growing up. Near to where she lives is the Basant Festival which sees lots of young people making and flying kites on their rooftops, having a wonderful time. This is what Year 2 replicated today (but flew their kites on the field instead and definitely not on the rooftops!).  http://www.chantryprimaryacademy.com/Year-2-kite-making Thu, 10 Sep 2020 00:00:00
