Class 2 Puppets

Clothing Bank...

After the success of our 'Cash for Schools' clothing and textile collection last term, we have installed a permanent clothing bank for all to use. This is not just for the use of those from school, but also the wider community as well. So, please pass on the news to your friends and neighbours to feel free to dispose of their unwanted:

• clothes and underwear, (any condition)


• paired shoes, boots or trainers, (tied in pairs)


• bedding, (not duvets or pillows)


• curtains


• towels


• bags and belts

Items should be put into bags, don't worry if you can only part fill a bag, as these can be put together to make full bags. The bank will be emptied on a regular basis, approximately every 4-6 weeks. For every bag we collect, the school receives £1.50! The bank is situated behind the school, just off the Drift.

Do please note that our other recycling facilities are also available to the whole community, including the paper bank. These are situated round the front of the school behind the wooden gates on the right.

Baking Bread

Class 3 have been looking into Micro-organisms with Mrs. Merry in Science and last week we were looking at good microbes. This was brilliant as it gave us a really good excuse to bake some bread whilst looking at yeast!

Wider Opportunities Music

Since September Class 2 have been lucky enough to receive music lessons from Mr. McDowell from County Music Services. He has been teaching the children how to play the cornet. Each child has been loaned a cornet to use and practise on, they can even take them home!

My favourite quote from one of the children recently overheard in the corridor was, 'Mrs. McGeever, its not a cacophany anymore!' I think this shows that they are making lots of progress and I will add, the sounds coming from Class 2 are definitely no where near being a cacophony anymore, they are actually pretty mellifluous!

Breakfast Club

We have been running a breakfast club hosted by Premiers Sport's Liam Abrahams. Children arrive from 8am and enjoy games and activities before eating a tasty breakfast.

Reception Children Working Hard

The Reception children work very hard to learn new skills. Here is a numeracy lesson where they were learning how to group items in order to count them accurately.

Snow at Charsfield

The cold weather arrived this week and Class One enjoyed playing in the snow.
