Grow Walk Eat – Part 2!
Thursday, September 30th, 2010The second part of our Grow Walk Eat project was held this Tuesday in our school hall. Hunters Bar Infants walked to our school where we told them all about our growing and cookery clubs. Lions class performed a fantastic presentation which was followed by a delicious meal!
All Saints Church
Wednesday, September 29th, 2010Year 1 children went on a visit to All Saints Ecclesall Parish Church yesterday. They had a nice walk down and then learnt all about the church from the lovely Vicar Simon Bessant. They were also treated to juice and biscuits while they made drawings of the church. The children have also made some fantastic ‘stained glass windows’ which are now decorating the classroom windows!
Castleton!
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010Year 2 children visited Castleton last week where they learnt about rocks and caves! Both classes had a lovely day out and enjoyed good weather while they sketched, hiked and explored the Castleton Caves! They will be putting their knowledge to good use this week in the classroom as they complete topic work all about their Castleton visit!
Sky Dive!
Monday, September 27th, 2010Mrs Betts, Mr Calcutt and Mrs Burland completed their skydive on Saturday to raise funds for Alex Burland. Alex needs to raise over £40,000 for his life changing operation in America. We have been collecting donations and sponsorship for the sky dive in the hopes of contributing as much as we can to help Alex and his family hit their target!
Don’t forget – every penny counts! You can still bring in any contributions you have to the school office!

Grow, Walk, Eat!
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010As Harvest Festival approaches, the children have been learning about food! This year we are taking part in something called ‘Grow, Walk, Eat’. The children will be learning how food is grown, growing their own food at home and then joining with other local schools in the community to make and eat a meal! This week Tigers class walked to Portercroft School where they paired up with a new friend from the school and made yummy pizza toppings! Some of the ingredients used had been grown by children from Portercroft and it was all very tasty! The Tigers enjoyed meeting new friends as well as tasting their creations at lunch time!
Children’s Centre Open Day
Saturday, September 18th, 2010Our brand new Children’s Centre was officially opened last Friday the 17th September! We had lots of information available which explained the services on offer and allowed parents and visitors to contribute their own opinions and requests for the service.
We also had a creche area with toys and games available for the visiting children, and a Library Bus where the children were treated to rhymes and stories!
It was a great morning and nice to meet some of the parents hoping to use the service in the future!
Sky Dive!
Thursday, September 16th, 2010There is still time to sponsor Mrs Betts, Mr Calcutt and Mrs Burland before their sky dive next Saturday! Just bring your contribution into the school office or hand in to your class teacher.
