Children In Need Day

This is one of our big events of the year!  We all came to school in our pyjamas and there were some fabulous onesies!

We laid a copper trail throughout all the corridors and the hall - it stretched much further this year than it ever has before!

Class 2 did a Children in Need street dance to the Gareth Malone song and they performed it in assembly.

We had a lovely assembly discussing what Children In Need is all about - our children

were very knowledgeable about it.

The street dance had been part of class 2's PE sessions this term and here are some photos of them practising.  Note Mrs Richardson, Mrs Chadwick and Miss Rowe!

 

 

We raised £148 for Children in Need!

Mischief Night Party!

This was our first ever Mischief Night party - organised by Friends of Marston School (FOMS) and the teaching staff.

we had a huge range of costumes!

We had competitions for the best costume (boy - Willfy and girl - Brooke), the best dancer (boy - Harry and girl - Gracie), the team broomstick relay, pass the hand and sleeping monsters.

There were activities - doughnut in the door, feely box, decorating scary biscuits, colouring and throwing the beanbag into the pumpkin.

We had food - hot dogs, butternut soup and hot chocolate with marshmallows.  Everyone got a spooky cup cake to take home - if they got that far and weren't eaten first!

We had a really great time and this will become a regular event!

Harvest Festival

Our Harvest Festival took place on Friday 17th October at our village Church.  We sang beautifully and there was an excellent attendance by parents and grandparents.  We started by presenting our produce to Reverend Lilian.

Class 1 sang and signed 'Thank You Lord'.  Mrs Sutcliffe would have been really proud of you - she wasn't there because she was on a paediatric first aid course.

Class 2 sang a very provoking song which contrasted those of us who have water and those of us who don't - 'I turn on the tap/I walk to the stream'.  They followed this with information about people who don't have easy access to water like we do.


Class 3 sang 'Summer is acummin in' and then recited their poems based on Harvest.

We all sang Michaelmas Daisies, The Sharing Bread and Harvest for the World.
