On Friday the 2nd October 2009 RAGTEX visited school to tell the children to get rid of their unwanted clothes so they can give them to people in Zambia. School will get £400 for every 1tonne of clothing. The material can be anything from bed linen to skirts as long as it is in good condition.
Silverhill played

The Shoe Aid Project is a shoe donation project which aims to motivate those who are fortunate enough to have pairs of shoes which they no longer need into donating them to people in Africa. Please take this opportunity to donate shoes in order to make other people enjoy sports, walks, work, studies and dancing; give those less fortunate people the chance to enjoy and take for granted all the things we enjoy and take for granted each and every day.
All yours donations are highly welcome and will be greatly appreciated! Please place paired shoes into the donation box in the school hall. Thank you
On Thursday 24th September Year 5/6 went to
Woeful Second World War was about Alf and Sally who get evacuated to darkest Wales, away from the damp shelters and nightly bombings of their home city – only to encounter rotten rations, scary schools and even scarier new parents. In the second half of the show, children wore 3D specs to see the amazing Bogglevision effects, preparing for the final onslaught as the German bombers make their deadly journey towards Coventry!
It was a fantastic trip thoroughly enjoyed by all!

Well done to our football team who won both matches against Allenton this week.
The first match we won 6-0 and the man of the match was J.D. The second match we won 7-0 and the man of the match was Raza. Both boys scored hattricks during the game.
Next weeks match is against St Josephs who beat us in the final last year.

Thank you to all the parents who turned out to support and encourage the children. Well done to all parents who even took part! We hope you enjoyed the days as much as we all did. In KS2 Emerald Team earned the most points. In KS1 Strawberries and Apples held joint first place.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No - it's Mrs Lowe!
120 miles per hour free falling and the first thing Mrs Lowe said .....
"Can I do it again!"
On Thursday 18th June Year 2 went oon their school trip to Sudbury Hall and the Museum of Childhood. The children all dressed up in their fantastic victorian outfits and had a very strock lesson in the old schoolroom! They played with victorian toys and learned about how victorian children llived and worked. The children had a go at climbing the chimney and even Mrs Mitchell had a go - and nearly got stuck!
On Friday 5th June staff and pupils attended a ceremony at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham. We are delighted to report that Mrs White and Mrs Lowe were awarded commendations in the Teaching and Teaching Assistant categories. The whole school was awarded a distinction for the Sustainable Schools category. Well done to all our finalists!
