Noticeboard

This year's Children in Need raised an exceptional amount!! During the day School Councilors, House Captains and Prefects ran breaktime and lunchtime games, we held a 'name the bear' with the winner securing the named bear and choice of reading book; DPA was a special routine along the lines of the 'masked dancer' with prizes being awarded to the best dancers on the day!  We saw the return of the school's 'Pudsey Bear' outline for children to cover with spare change. The school day ended with a cake sale raising a total of £301.48

Our Service of Remembrance began with pupils wearing uniforms parading into St Paul's church, the last post was played followed by two minutes silence.

The service continued in a thoughtful and reflective manner with children in Year 6 giving a moving and powerful recital of 'In Flanders Fields' and 'Please Wear a Poppy' with the whole school singing 'We Will Remember and It's A Long Way to Tipperary'.  the service closed with prayers led by Revd Alex Sharpe.

After the service pupils who were dressed in their uniforms and the Chair of the school's Ethos Committee lay crosses on the three war graves in the cemetery.

As part of our new 'Citizenship Project' each term we are inviting parents into school to view the different projects undertaken by children.  These projects can be a piece of artwork, writing, poster, PowerPoint, model or other recording based around eight topics - healthy me, help for the homeless, British Values, diversity champion, relationships, Eco Ambassador, disability Champion or on-line safety.  We have recently held the first of our 'project sharing' afternoons.  

Over the Half Term break Mr Westwood set a challenge to get a photo of our pupils reading in an out-of-the-ordinary places, the more creative the better.  Here are some we have received!
