• DIY Volunteers needed!

  Fri 20 Sep 2024

  Can you spare even an hour on Saturday 5^th October to help us make the infant site as lovely as possible?

  Many hands make light work!

  We have been alternating improving both sites and it is the turn of the infant site!

  If you can help, please let either school office know, or email Jon Reidy , who is kindly co-ordinating the day for us: jonreidy@gmail.com

  We are focussing on washing, planting, and gardening in general, so please come armed with clippers, jet washers, forks, spades, loppers, ladders, secateurs, hedge-clippers to help! If you are unable to help on the day we would really appreciate donations of bedding plants or cash donations to buy plants as a previous DIY day created a lovely flower bed in the Y1/2 playground and we would love to plant it fully! We are especially looking for:

  • Curry plant (Helichrysum italicum)
  • Anethum graveolens (dill)
  • Camomile
  • Lamb's ears (Stachys byzantina) ...
  • Buddleia.
  • Lavender
  • Mock orange (Philadelphus)
  • Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea)

  We will be there from 9am to 3pm. Come when you can! We are providing a sandwich lunch for those who can stay across the day! Children are welcome although they have to be supervised!

  Hope to see lots of you on the day!

  Many thanks,

  Lindsey Lampard

• What a whopper!

  Thu 19 Sep 2024

  Have you ever seen such a large pumpkin? When the current Y4 children were in Y3 they grew this enormous pumpkin at the allotment with the help of Ann and the allotment team! Tracey, our school cook is going to experiment with different pumpkin recipes! Please give her some suggestions of what she can cook as it is so large it will serve lots of ideas!

  

• Alana climbed the O2!

  Mon 16 Sep 2024

  Alayna, from Y2 climbed the O2 last night as part of a fundraiser to raise money for a charity called Forgotten Women:https://forgottenwomen.org/about/

  Forgotten Women is a charity run by women for women, a UK based organisation dedicated to helping women in crisis and emergencies, lifting them out of poverty and championing equality and rights for marginalised girls and women. The charity was set up after witnessing first-hand the ‘sex for aid’ violations and manipulation of women in vulnerable situations. 

  Forgotten Women have been delivering safe aid to women by women for 7 years now. The three areas of work they focus on are:

   

  1. Safe Aid: Delivering emergency aid to women by women
  2. Transforming Lives: Changing the lives of women in poverty with business start-ups
  3. Advocacy: Being the voice for women

   

  Alana was the youngest in a group of 22 participants, she showed a lot of bravery and confidence, despite being a little fearful of the height. In a short space of 2 weeks she raised £255.

  We are very proud!

  

• School Games Games days

  Fri 13 Sep 2024

  On Wednesday and Thursday this week we held our School Games Day. It was the juniors turn on Wednesday, and yesterday the infant site are thoroughly enjoying a range of activities!

  School Games day is an intra-school competition that takes place between pupils who attend the same school.  It is a great opportunity to try new sports, such as archery, or work as a team to win a tug of war, or build a shelter co-operatively, quicker than another group, and to generally celebrate our school's sporting success!

  We had a brilliant time! Thank you to Miss Watson and Miss Efreme for organising it!
