    Celebrating World Mental Health Day
    31/10/2019

    Learners in Year 5 and 6 were involved in a special mental health day workshop with Malachai, a local mental-health and wellbeing charity for children and young people last week. I think it is fair to say that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the session, and we all took a lot of ideas out of it to support us in looking after our own mental health. One of our Year 6 learners said ‘I really enjoyed the assembly and the workshop.  I didn’t feel embarrassed sharing my feelings as we were all doing it together.  The games were a fun way to discuss feelings, emotions and friendships’, and another said that ‘the workshops were really interesting.  It helped us to learn new ways of managing our feelings and cope with everyday stress.  I feel more confident to talk to people about how I feel now.’ Thank you to Malachai for coming to work with us, we are looking forward to putting the strategies we learnt to good use!

    Rescheduled - Make A Wish Fundraiser - new date 5th July
    25/03/2019

    Unfortunately, due to a range of factors, we need to reschedule our Make A Wish fundraiser. This will now taske place on 5th July. Further details are below:

    Make-A-Wish create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, creating incredible memories, building confidence and bringing happiness and providing respite from the daily struggles that come with a critical illness. One of our children has recently benefited from a Wish, and the impact has been amazing!

    We would love to support the charity to help other children to experience having a Wish granted, and have therefore arranged a special event day on Friday 5th July (the last day of next half term) to raise money for the charity. Children will be able to come in non-uniform for a £1 donation, and there will also be a sponsored run/bike ride, a penalty shootout, soak the teacher and other activities for children to enjoy. Further details are to follow so keep your eyes peeled!

    In addition, Mr Gaffiney is also participating in both the 100 mile Ride London bike ride on 4th August, and the two mile open water Swim Serpentine event on 21st September in support of the charity. If you wanted to make a donation for these events separately then you can do this via the following link:

    https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/gaffiney

     

    We are really looking forward to the fundraisers and to supporting this really worthy cause – thanks in advance for your support!

    An exciting new project!
    09/11/2018

    An exciting new project with the Central Co-operative Learning Trust!

     

    As part of our developing partnership with the Central Co-operative Learning Trust, we are beginning to plan an exciting project for Spring term 2019 based on the theme of ‘Journeys’. All the children will have chance to take part in an arts activity such as dance, music, drama, film making, art, cooking, poetry etc., and we are hoping to be able to share these projects with our community as well as our partners. It will be a fantastic experience for everyone, and something to really celebrate!

    It would be great to involve as many of you as possible in this - if you have an interest and enthusiasm for arts we would love to work with you! We would also like to make this a really inspiring local event - if you know anyone locally who might be able to support us with this, or who might be willing to offer advice, support or resources then we'd really appreciate it!

    We can't wait to create this superb opportunity for our learners, and to share it with you!

    YEAR 3 AND YEAR 4 MAKE BEAUTIFUL BURGERS!
    05/06/2018

    As part of their connected curriculum topic on ‘Horrible Humans’, learners in Years 3 and 4 visited Beaudesert Park Farm just before the half-term holiday to learn all about how our food is produced from field to fork.  Whilst there, they handcrafted their own burgers from beef reared and minced on the farm. But their culinary adventures didn’t stop there. Back in school - learners then designed, cooked and taste tested their culinary masterpieces to achieve burger perfection and it was wonderful to hear them evaluating their work with comments such as ‘this is better than McDonalds!’ (High praise indeed!). The teaching team who accompanied the group commented upon their inquisitive nature and their impeccable manners whilst out of school and we thank all of Years 3 and 4 for representing the school so beautifully.

    YEAR 1 VOLUNTEERS
    05/06/2018

    This month it was the turn of our Year 1 learners to spread LEARNER values into the community and what a wonderful job they did too! After learning about hedgehogs in their English work, they were determined to raise money to create a special habitat for hedgehogs at the Wolseley wildlife centre. Through a beetle drive in school, selling tea and coffee and creating an impressive tree-shaped coin trail they were able to raise £52 for their new badger and hedgehog habitat. Learners then visited the Wolseley centre to present their donation and see where it was going to be used. We are extremely proud of all our incredible Year 1 volunteers, and thank parents, families and friends for supporting them in their fund-raising quest.

    Year 3 learners have been hard at work this week preparing for their ‘Find a Friend’ Afternoon Tea, as part of their project to spread our LEARNER values into the community. We are incredibly proud of all the Year 3 learners who decided to tackle dementia as their community project.  On Wednesday afternoon they welcomed over 30 local residents from the community into school for afternoon tea, which raised a much needed £73 for the Dementia Friends charity but, more importantly, allowed our elderly community to find a friend within the school, which is just one way Year 3 plan to help those with dementia both locally and nationally. Well done Year 3 – you are role models to us all!
