Remember we are all proud of you!

On Friday 11th May we were very pleased to welcome our local MP Lee Rowley to Y3A. A few weeks ago, when we were learning about oceans we wrote to him to tell him about the dangers sea horses are facing in the wild. In response, Mr Rowley wrote each child a letter and then came to hand deliver them to the children.  The children then had time to ask him questions.

So far this year we have raise £1890 towards the School Crossing Patrol. The fundraising is ongoing. Thanks for your continued support.

We raised £225.95 for the Children's Heart Surgery by all the children and staff wearing red. We also included the money made from Fundraising Friday. Thank you for your continued support.

Liam from Excel worked with all a classes and taught us about focus and perseverance. We will try to use these skills in everything we do.

Year Three and Four were visited by two school nurses to discuss the safe use of medicines. The children learnt about what is safe to put inside, use on the outside and unsafe. The talked about not using other people's medication e.g. inhalers and taking the correct dose with adult supervision.

Our school are in full voice tonight as part of the Young Voices Choir. We are very proud of you and hope you have a great night.

As a school, we have decided to take part in a nationwide campaign to help recycle more batteries. We believe that recycling batteries can make a real difference to our planet, and we want to inspire our young people to care for the environment, now and in the future. This is a great Science project and a great way to demonstrate the Enterprise skill of Making Ethical Decisions.

 

The Big Battery Hunt will give pupils the opportunity to be pioneers in a recycling challenge to encourage everyone worldwide to recycle more batteries. Our children will not only be in with a chance of winning some great prizes for collecting and recycling the most used batteries but will also develop their maths skills through a number of fun, curriculum-linked homework activities.

 

Each child, has been given a collection box and an activity booklet to complete. The booklet contains instructions and the competition slip. All pupil collection slips need to be sent by Thursday 26th April so we are asking children to return they slips by Friday 13th April.

 

We will receive a school recycling container. Once you child has filled their personal collection box their batteries can be added to our main school container.

Our school gave a fantastic  performance of The Christmas Awards. It really made us think about the true meaning of Christmas. As always our actors were amazing. Well done, children. A great way to demonstrate TEAMWORK. A lot of our regular cast are Year 6 and this was their last Christmas Performance. We hope to see more children join next year. Every child who wishes to take part will be given a role. A big thank you also goes to Miss Worstenholme. A huge amount of ORGANISATION AND PLANNING has to be devoted to produce our Christmas spectacular.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to and attended our Christmas Fayre. We raised £715.38! A big thanks goes to our PTA who help us raise these funds. This year, the PTA was able to pay for the whole school to watch the pantomime in Chesterfield.
