Welcome Back News!

ICT Clubs - The registers for these clubs are now ready, please come into the ICT Suite to check when your child has been allocated a place on the club requested or ask them to look themselves.. The Typefaster list is also displayed on the ICT Suite doors so children please check when you need to come. I am so happy to say that these clubs have proved so successful that to write letters to you all would be unmanagable which I why I have created registry lists instead. Any problems or queries feel free to pop in and see me. Thanks, Angie.

KS2 Photography Competition - Two new official school photographers from KS2 are needed now that Rory has left. If any child is eager to take on this responsibility they need to enter the competition. See Angie to sign up to borrow the school camera for a day to take pictures around the school. During one of the lunchtimes Angie will help to get the photos uploaded and then the child can pick the one they want to put forward for the competition, they need to try to take a photo that shows how great it is to be at our school and give the picture a caption.

School lunches - the school lunch costs have changed. They are now £1.90 per day, £9.50 per week or £74.10 per Half-Term.

Sports Day - Thursday 17th July 2008

The Basketball Event was a great success!

Crawl Under and Roll Over showed how fit and flexible we all are!

Egg and Spoon Race. Our Egg looks remarkably like a tennis ball!!!

Here we have some budding Hockey players!

Super speedy Hurdlers!

The Relay Race was fun for all!!

Chicks!!!

Living Eggs are a company that provide "all you need to successfully hatch and raise chicks in the classroom". We were lucky enough to have 12 eggs which we kept warm in the incubator provided. We watched carefully and had to wait patiently (not always easy!) for the eggs to start hatching. We set up a webcam to take photos every 2 minutes over a 24 hour period. The success rate for hatching is normally around 50% but 11 of our eggs hatched which was really amazing. Please click the link below to see the movie of our chicks' first unsteady steps into the world! The chicks will be spending time in each of the classrooms over the next week.

Basketball Tournament

On the 1st July we took two teams from year 5 and year 6 to Netherhall School for a Basketball Tournament. We played against approximately 10 other schools with fantastic results.
