• The Winter Fair

  Sat 09 Dec 2017

  On Friday 8th December, we held our annual winter fair.  As ever there were lots of people who came to support the school.  Cakes were eaten, faces painted, Santa visited and the raffle was drawn!  A huge attraction was the opportunity to stick Mr McNulty to the wall! For the minimal price of £1, you could buy 2 strips of duct tape, which were then used to attach Mr McNulty to the wall.  We are not sure who paid the most money - staff or children!  

  To see the moment when we took away the supporting chair click here!

  Did we take him down?....  You'll have to pop into the hall and find out!  A big thank you to the PTFA for all of their organisation and the staff for helping out.

  A huge thank you to the parents of the PTFA for organising such a great event and staying to sell exciting things as well as sweeping, clearing and mopping well into the night!!

• Trish Cooke visits!

  Wed 18 Oct 2017

  On Wednesday 18th October Trish Cooke, the author of one of our favourite books, came to visit.  Trish wrote the story So Much which was illustrated by Helen Oxenbury.

  She spoke to the children in Reception and Year one in their classrooms and then she spoke to all of the children in Key Stage one in the hall.  Trish read us all the story of So Much and explained that she had written it when her son was a baby and that the Mum in the story was actually her!  

  She told us that being a writer is a challenge and that you have to work hard at it, but that she loves it!

  Some children were also lucky enough to get a signed copy of her book.

  What a great day!

  

• Harvest Festival

  Fri 13 Oct 2017

   On Friday 13th October the whole school celebrated Harvest Festival.  We held two special celebration assemblies and parents came to both of them.

  No harvest celebration would be complete without a rousing chorus of Cauliflowers Fluffy and as usual, this ended or started our celebrations well.

  Each class had something to perform, from artwork, to songs, to story telling. 

  We had a visit from Carol from the local food bank who explained where our donated food would go and who it would help in our local area.  A big thank you to everyone who brought in food to donate to others.  Your generosity was amazing.

• Home Journey 2

  Thu 05 Oct 2017
  The home journey children spent Thursday at Frylands Wood, on an amazing outdoor adventure!  The children spend the day on a variety of activities including the assault course, an orienteering challenge, the climbing wall and a laser tag game.  Growth Mindsets we're definitely needed as children faced new challenges, and everyone left feeling proud of something that they had achieved.
