Goodbye Year 6....

The final week saw laughter and tears as our year 6 came to the end of their time at Silverhill. During their Leavers Assembly pupils, staff and parents were entertained by some very funny moments and moved by some very emotional ones! Congratualtions to Matthew who was presented with our Headteachers Award. On their final day shirts and dresses were all signed, and as the heavens opened at 3.20pm we clapped them out of the hall for the final time. We wish all our Year 6 every success as they embark on the next journey of their education.

Sports Days

For once the sun shone on Silverhill sports days and the temperature was HOT! All the children had a thoroughly enjoyable time and took part whole heartedly. 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.

Green Day

On Thursday 25th June children and staff took part in Green Day. The day was devoted to activities to learn more about the effect of climate change and what we can do to reduce the effects of global warming. The children engaged in a number of activities including; learning about polar bears and penguins, making tree mobiles and wind energy, the damage to the environment from plastic bags, making electricity fromcitrus fruits and many other exciting workshops. The day culminated in the children making their environmental promises which are displayed on our Environmental Promise Tree. Everyone learned a great deal about climate change and we hope our actions, however small, will have a positive effect on global warming.
