Good to be Green


Well done to all our pupils who stayed 'green' last half term. All our green pupils were rewarded today with an exciting visitor who got them involved in some fantastic traditional Africa dancing. We hope they all had fun and that they continue to remember 'It's Good to be Green'!

Operation Christmas child

This year Silverhill is again supporting the Samaritan's Purse 'Operation Christmas Child' appeal. Last year we collected just over 50 boxes that were sent to children in third world countries and this year we would love to do more. Pupils will be bringing home information leaflets but to find out more visit www.operationchristmaschild.org.uk. Thank you for your support.

Maths lesson of DOOM....

On Thursday 3rd November all our pupils enjoyed Quantum Theatre's 'Maths lesson of Doom'. With lots of singing, dancing and catchy rhymes to remember important mathematical concepts, the children were thoroughly entertained whilst finding out if Mrs Jessop would be able to save the day!

Year 6 'Bikeabilty'...

During the last week of October all our Year 6 pupils took part in the 'cyclederby' bikeabilty scheme. All children bought bike and helmets to school and every day were given level 2 training. Well done to everyone who successfully rook part.

World War 2 at Shugborough...

As a part of their World War 2 learning, Years 5 and 6 visited Shugborough Hall. While there, the children were given the opportunity to be 'evacuee children' and were sent to the farm where an air raid siren sent them running to hide out in the bunker. Children found out exactly how little was available through rationing and learnt how children passed their time with song and dance during hard times. They looked at a wide range of WW2 memorabilia as well as visiting an Anderson Shelter, making their gas masks and identity cards. Apart from closed roads delaying the return journey a great day was had by all!


Masks on and get down!
The siren sounds - let's sing a song to pass the time....

Not much for one week!
