Special Events

From time to time we hold special events. Here are some of the events for this school year.

  
 


Book Week

Monday 17th - Friday 21st November 2008

 

 Several events took place during the week including a visit from a storyteller, a book fair, designing posters, making bookmarks and on Friday the children dressed up as book characters.
We would like to thank Mrs Cox for organising Book Week.


In Book Week we had so much fun and raised over £1000 on the book shop after school. And a story teller came in and told us stories of her past. Here is one – The King of Ireland was riding back to his palace when he saw a man in a freezing cold pond.
He said “How long have you been standing there for?”
“Two days.” He replied.
“Why aren’t you frozen?”
 “Because I can control my body.” They went back to the fire and the man stood in it and the king said “Why aren’t you burning?” We also designed a book cover and the runner up was Alvin and the winner for year 5 was Sanket. We had a dressing up competition. The winners for Year 5 were Aisha who was Puss in Boots.  The winner was Adam who was Oliver Twist. Mrs Cox was Bob the Builder. Mrs Tandoh was Captain Hook and Mrs Walker was Cinderella.

In book week a story teller came in to tell some stories to each year group. In our year group (year 5) we were told a gruesome story about tea and we were told a very nice story about these people who can change from human to a seal.
We did some hall posters, there were: The Twits, The Snow Spider, Horrible Histories, The Jungle Book and there were more. On Friday we all got to dress up as story book characters. We had a dressing up contest in the afternoon. In year 5 Aisha won as Puss in boots and Adam won as Oliver Twist. There was a book cover contest. When people won they got a book or book mark.
We had to pick a book to be read to during the week, there was the snow palace, born to run, the twits, rent a genius and more. There was a book shop that raised over £1000 pounds. Lots of people went the book fair after school on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Book week was fun.

Anti-Bullying Day

Wednesday 8th October 2008

 

We held our annual Anti-Bullying Day when we all thought about the problem of bullying and how we can keep ourselves safe.

Each year group had their own projects.

Year 3 children designed posters to help prevent bullying.

This one was designed by Matthew O'Bray and Lewis Matthews using Colour Magic.
