Tubs 4 Tablets....

PLEASE ...Start collecting Tubs4Tablets tokens now! 

This autumn Flora and Stork, in partnership with Tesco, are running an amazing scheme called Tubs4Tablets. The scheme aims to help our school bring cutting edge technology into the classroom by giving us the opportunity to collect tokens from special tubs of Flora and Stork on sale at Tesco through early October and exchange them for FREE touch screen tablets!

Help us make our campaign a success! We need to collect as many tokens as possible, these can be found on promotional 500g tubs of Flora Original, Light and Buttery and Stork. Hand us your tokens… Just 50 tokens will get our school one brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0” Wi-Fi 8GB tablet so help us to claim as many as we can.

Spread the word! Remember, if friends, neighbours, work colleagues and family can help too we could collect even more tokens to exchange for tablets. There’s no limit to the amount of FREE tablets we can claim for the school! 

Harvest....

On Friday 3rd October we held a very enjoyable Harvest Festival Assembly and the staff from the Padley Centre were very grateful for the food and toiletries they collected from us, it's a good job they had a big van! Many thanks for all your generous donations.

Yamaha

On Wednesday 1st October all of Key Stage 2 were treated to a very noisy afternoon when Yamaha Music School came into school. With some expert rhythm and very loud singing the children certainly got into the 'groove'!

Macmillan Coffee Morning (Well, afternoon tea....)

Many, many thanks to everyone who kindly donated cakes and biscuits for our Macmillan Coffee Morning, which was more of an afternoon tea really! From 3pm on Friday 26th September the hall became a busy cafe whilst our helpful year 6's helped with sales. After selling on any left over cakes to the pupils on Monday morning our final total raised was a fantastic £326! Thank you everyone for supporting this worthy cause.

Your Country Needs You!

On Tuesday 23rd September Key Stage 2 enjoyed a highly entertaining performance by the Quantum Theatre, 'Your Country Needs You'. As we study the significance of World War I in it's centenary year, the production was full of learning opportunities through drama and song. The children watch with interest, joined in with the singing and asked some brilliant questions at the end of the show!

History Enrichment

On Friday 19th September school was awash with little kings and queens as pupils across Key Stage 1 and 2 spent the day learning about our great British monarchy! Tracing as far back as Alfred the Great in 871 right up to our present Queen Elizabeth II children created giant masterpieces which will be displayed in the school hall!
