Christmas Shoebox Appeal

We take part in Operation Christmas Child every year which is run by Samaritan's purse.  The idea behind it is to send gift filled shoe boxes to underpriviledged children around the world for them to open at Christmas.

5 minute walk zone launch

On Friday 16th March we launched our 5 minute walk zone, encouraging everybody who lives within a five mile radius to walk to school.  Some children even parked just a bit further out and then walked in!  In return for walking to school children were offered breakfast.  118 breakfasts were served!  Also everybody was encouraged to wear silly socks, there were some great ideas and some children had gone to a lot of trouble.

Wildcats Refund Night

We had a fantastic turnout for the Wildcats ice hockey match against Sheffield Steeldogs on Saturday night.  An enjoyable night was had by all, with some real nailbiting moments!  We managed to raise a superb £106 for school that will go into developing our PE resources.  A huge thank you to all that came!  Click below to read a review of the match.

Comenius Visitors

As a school we are involved in a Comenius project where we partner up with 2 or more schools within the EU and apply for funding for a project - this includes a planning visit and money to support a curriculum project.  The whole school gets involved in this.  We were lucky enough to have a visit from two of the schools we are involved with, schools Wales and Spain.  They spent a bit of time in school and came into assembly to talk to us about what school life is like in their country.

Children In Need

To rasie money for Children In Need this year the school council decide we would all come to school dressed in our pyjamas in return for a donation to Children in Need.  In line with our anti- bullying theme respect we invited the childrento bring their teddy dressed up to represent 'Respect for Others' e.g a bandana decorated using the letters and also an outfit which could be out of material i.e fabric etc...  A small prize for the winning teddy from each class was awarded.

 

 

      

 

Pakistan Flood Boxes

 

The area devastated by the flooding is greater than the size of England. Around 20 million people have been directly affected and around half of this number are children, making the effects of the disaster worse than the 2004 Tsunami and the recent earthquakes in Kashmir and Haiti combined.

A big thank you to all parents and children who have helped make up these boxes.  The boxes donated will be picked up soon and flown to Pakistan free of charge to be handed out to people in dire need.
