Baby news!

Our first Silverhill baby of 2016!  


Many, many congratulations to Miss Gallagher, her partner Wayne and daughter Flo on the birth of their baby son Eddie, a 7lb 11oz bundle of blue! A perfect little addition to the family!

Farewell Mrs Cannon

The end of term saw Mrs Cannon leave Silverhill after nearly 12 years. She has undertaken many roles and has truly been an inspiration to many children and a great support to so many families. She will be very much missed by all the staff and we all wish her every happiness and success as the new Head teacher of Ravensdale Junior School. Good Luck Mrs Cannon!

Founation Stage at the Farm

 Robins and Wrens spent the last day of term visiting Ash End House Farm as part of our topic 'Does Everything Grow?' We were very excited about travelling on a big coach, and we all made sure we had our packed lunches! At the farm, we met Farmer Emma and Farmer Julie who showed us around and told us lots and lots about all the different animals. We fed the goats and the sheep, and we met their babies who we found out are called kids and lambs.  We met a very tiny (and very soft!) chick, and then some of us were brave enough to let an older chick sit on our arms (after a bit of flapping!).  We collected our very own eggs from the chickens to take home to eat and after lunch in the barn and a run around in the playground we made our way back to school. What a fantastic day!

Year 2 visited the Space Centre


Year 2 had a splendid time, exploring and investigating, at the Space Centre on Wednesday 23 March 2016.  Everyone had fun learning new things and found the interactive activities extremely exciting!

Sport Relief mile


A big thank you and well done to all the pupils and parents who participated so enthusiastically in our Sport Relief mile raising a grand total of £252.80.  After running a mile around the school grounds and performing 5 of our superhero moves,  whilst also raising money for such a deserving charity, we think you'll all sleep well tonight! Special congratulations to James for being the overall race winner in a time of 6 minutes 9 seconds, closely followed by Addison in second and Luke in third, and special thanks to Mrs Brundish and Miss Smith for organizing the event. Visit us on Twitter to see lots of videos from the race!
