Welcome back to a new term. Come back to the blog soon to find out all the latest news as it happens!

Number Day

At 11am on 3 December 2010 Silverhill Primary joined other schools across the UK to join in the NSPCC Number Day in their attempt to set the Guinness World Record™ for the largest maths lesson in the world and to raise money for vulnerable children across the UK. Thank you to all who supported this event - we raised a total of £117.28p and the 290 pupils who took part will be added to the World Record.

Snow!

Many thanks to everyone who made an effort to brave the weather and come to school this week. In particular thanks go to the staff, many of whom have had long and difficult journeys to get here. Without them the school would not be open. The text messaging service has been invaluable in keeping everyone informed as to what has been happening.

Our special guest - Miley Cyrus......

Thanks to Abbie and Alysha winning an Asda competition the whole school had an amazing surprise guest today when Miley Cyrus popped into assembly! Pupils and staff were treated to a sing along after Miley answered some of the children's questions and the whole school sang Happy Birthday to Miley for her 18th birthday in a couple of weeks time! WOW!

This is the 'Silverhill' game where pupils can get discounted tickets, a parade around the pitch before the match, a school photo on the pitch with copies for every pupil attending and one for the school. Tickets are £18 for adults and £8 for children. Further information from the school office.
