Foundation Stage trip to Chatsworth

On Wednesday 25th of March the children in reception went to Chatsworth Farm, to learn more about animals and growth. They met the pigs and calves, held chicks, bottle fed lambs and had thoroughly enjoyable day. Mrs Brundish was very fond of the baby donkey foal, Barney who was only 5 days old – ahhh! Well done to all the children, who behaved very well. Also thank you to Mrs Temple, Mr Finely, and Mrs Muter, who came along to help!

Dance Festival

Well done to all the children who took part in the dance festival 2009 on Wednesday 25th of March. There was a packed audience at the assembly rooms and all the dancers performed brilliantly. They had a fabulous time. We will see how they did soon.

ECO worm hunting

The Eco committee have been very busy this past week searching for worms in the school grounds and fields. They found around six different types and a worm specialist came in to help them.
They have also planned, designed and this week will be making a habitat hotel. They have also done lots of other exciting things in the past including helping with our school allotments and tidying up the school grounds.

Do something funny for money update!

On Friday the 13th of March Silverhill Primary was 'Funny for Money'. Everyone made a fantastic effort to look funny from clowns and 118 men to superheroes and barbie girls - and that was just the teachers! Mrs Parr lead a super assembly where we learned about the children in Africa that we were raising money for. Mrs Parr was joined by Mrs White, Mrs Turner and Mrs Mitchell to do a spelling test and our year 6 pupils announced the results of their fund raising competitions. It was great fun, we had a lot of laughs and even did some bottom racing!!! The total raised from the day was £295 - well done everyone! by Lucy, Web Club

Do something funny for money!

It's Red Nose day this Friday so there are a variety of games taking place in school all week, less than a pound a go. There is “guess the name of the lion” only 20p a go and “Ickle Diddims” - have a good look at all the pictures and for £1 a go guess which teacher matches the picture.
On red noise day we are dressing up and to do so you have to donate 50p. SO DO SOMETHING FUNNY FOR MONEY! by Robert, Web club
