Certificate and Raffle Ticket winners 14.12.2012

Our 'special bear certificate' awards this week went to Elsie Lawes, Sasha Bravo and Mathilda Carley.  They are all in reception year and the certificates were awarded for good listening and having a good work ethic.  They could explain to me what having a good work ethic meant!  Not bad for a 4 or 5 year old!!!

Our raffle ticket winners for the last two weeks were Tommy Elce (Y6), Leon Mapletoft (Y4), Chloe Tyler (Y5), Lily Howgill (Y2), Ellen Corston (Y2) and Lydia Walker-Smith (Y1).  The majority received their raffle tickets for either being excellent role models to other children or for being great helpers!  In a small school we really need good helpers!!!

Contentment!!!

I had to share this with you as it really made me smile!  Harry a child in reception was sat on a hedgehog bean bag reading a Christmas story book.  He was enthralled and was an oasis of calm amongst the other children!

 

 

 Thank you Harry for making Mrs Padgett and me smile!!! 

Christmas Fayre

Our Christmas Fayre was held after school tonight and we had a fabulous attendance - thank you tp everyone who came and supported us in this.

Thanks to the parents who helped us run stalls, clear away and to every one who sent a cake, a tombola item and so on.

We also had an enormous of help from the children with setting up and a special mention needs to go to Leon Mapletoft for being my 'gofer'!

Wendy is busy counting the money raised and I will post on Monday to let you know!

Certificate winners this week

Our certificate winners this week were:

Alex Van-Tam (year 1).  He was awarded his certificate for getting all his spellings correct in autumn term 1.  A fabulous achievement Alex - you should be really proud of yourself!

Hollie Mae Robertson (year 2).  She was awarded her certificate for being a super right hand person to Mrs Sutcliffe.  All teacher' need super right hand people as it makes their job so much easier - thank you Hollie!

Elise Khoo (year 2 but working in Class 2 with years 3 and 4 and some other year 2s).  Elise got her certificate for producing a brilliant newspaper report which showed she had listened to the teaching and acted upon it.  You are a star Elise!

I will post a photo as soon as the system lets me!

Children In Need Day - Football practice!

A fabulous day was had by all of us!  Please see Mrs Chadwick's class 3 blog for full information.

Our year 5 and 6 boys have been practising hrd for their recent football tournament and just to show that we take it very seriously they even wanted to practise in their PJs!

 

 

I did make them take their slippers off and put their trainers on!

 

 

The football team - in their PJs!



Book Week 2

As part of book week we had a whole day visit from Blizzard the barn owl.  All classes worked with Blizzard - on writing poems using WOW words and excellent description!  Our English display outside my office has a selection of some of the super writing produced.  If you want to look - talk to Wendy!

Blizzard.

Book Week

First of all - apologies for not posting for a while - I've got a new laptop and it's taken me some time to sort it out!

We had a super book week the week before we broke up for half term.  Our sale of books raised over £400 and gave us £160 of commission to spend on books for school - thanks for supporting us!

We had our usual dressing up day and house captain activities - it was great to see the children working in their house groups - 4 year olds through to 11 year olds all working together!

The dressing up theme was 'I am a reader and writer' and we had a brilliant range of costumes - see the photos below!

Whole school dressed up!

 

 

Mrs Clarke, Mrs Cowling and Mrs Ballaam

 

Mrs Kearsley - she won't thank me for this!  One child asked her who she was and she answered a vampire, no he replied - which member of staff are you?  Good disguise!
