All the fun of the fair!

A great big thank you to the PTA for organising another fabulous summer fair. Everyone that came along had a great time.




There were so many things to do: face painting, competitions, cakes to buy and burgers to eat!

Thank you to all the parents that came along and supported the event and helped make it such a success.

The ladies on the cake stall certainly had a good time and delivered service with a smile!

Were you lucky enough to pull out a winning tombola ticket?

The cafe was busy all afternoon. The samosas and cakes were delicious! Thank you to everyone who sent in a donation for one of the stalls.

Class One's Busy International Week

Class One had such a busy International Week. Look at all the things we did. Thank you to all our 'international visitors' who came to the classroom on Friday. We hope you enjoyed yourselves.
This picture shows some of us doing our Greek dancing.

Did you have a go with the Digiridu?

Around the World

Blog created by Monet Page

On Friday the 25th of June, the school held an open house for all parents to come and see our classes. It was International Week, every class had at least three countries.


Class 1 looked at Australia, Greece and Argentina. Class 2 studied Brazil, Italy and New Zealand. Class 4 researched USA, France, Mexico and Argentina. Finally Class 3 had eight countries: Japan, Netherlands, Switzerland, Chile, Honduras, Cameroon, Spain and Denmark.


There were foods to taste, games to play and powerpoints packed full of information to look at.
We had a really great time in each class.

Our parents had a great time too! They took part in our quizzes and tasted the international cuisine.

Some parents even volunteered to have their faces painted.


Lots and lots of visitors took our international trip - it got very hot in the classrooms.

In Class 1 we did some Greek dancing. Class 1 had been practising and were able to give us a demonstration.

In Class 2 we tasted some Italian food. In Class 3 we played on the powerpoint quizzes, and in Class 4 we won lots of sweets!


Each class had lots of visitors, so did the hall which had our '1 goal' campaign going on. Everyone had to sign the supporters scarf. The petition got over one hundred signatures. We will send the scarf to the Prime Minister.


As we travelled around the world, we had a passport. We each got given a stamp for every country we visited. We all enjoyed International Week and I hope we can do it again!

Service with style!

Does anyone recognise these very stylish models who were serving up a storm last week? If these Italian ladies look familiar, it's because they are our very own dinner staff. They needed little encouragement to enter into the international spirit.

Mrs. Hebbron and her team designed a complete week of international cuisine linked to our studies for International Week. Which was your favourite day?

Class 2 loved Italian day. They all agreed the pasta and pizza had been a big hit.


The Neapolitan ice-cream was a fantastic way to finish. We all thought the international menu was a great way to celebrate our international theme.

A big thank you to Mrs.Hebbron, Mrs. Jordan and Pang Holmes for all their efforts.

Happy Campers!

On the 18th of June 2010 Class 3 went camping on the school field. They played some exciting games, we had to use teamwork and communicate with each other.

After the games, we had a yummy dinner cooked for us by Mrs. Masterton and Mr. Deacon. When our dinner had settled we went to explore the woods and played a hiding game. We returned to school to watch the England match (yawn!). After a bedtime story, we went to sleep.

The next day we played a game called shark attack. Our parents came to collect us at 10am.


It was very fun, I would recommend it!

World Cup Limericks

Here are a selection of the World Cup Limericks the children in class 4 wrote for their homework last week. Kallista's was judged to be the winning entry. Read them for yourself and choose your favourite.


We all watched England on TV
And thought Wayne Rooney was the key.
The door was locked
Our fans were shocked
We turned it off and ate our tea!
by
Kallista Lawson-Tovey

The future of England was looking so bright
It all went wrong when they got on the flight
We all hope it's not over yet
As long as some balls go in the back of the net
If England don't win it just won't be right.

Charlie Wynne
There is a football team called England
Who think they can win the World Cup
The play so poor and never score
The best thing the can do is pack up!!
by
Ben Mitchell
There was once a great team called Spain
They left their opponents in shame
They had a great line up
Scored goals until times up
You can't get Spain's glory to tame!!
by
Charles Pears
There once was a man called Capello
Who was really quite an odd fellow
He was in a dream
When he chose his team
"Sub off Heskey!"
You could hear us all bellow.
