CHILDREN IN NEED 2010

THANK YOU!

We had an exciting day on Friday as we dressed up for Children in Need.

We followed the theme of 'Wear Spots! Raise Lots!' There was a sea of red and yellow in the school hall. Many children even designed their own outfits which were very imaginative.

Thank you very much to all those who filled the 'Pudsey bears' at school as we raised a superb £560 which will be sent to the Children in Need charities.

Samaritan's Purse

A massive THANK YOU to all parents and children who contributed a box for the Samaritan's Purse appeal. Due to your generosity, we managed to collect 130 BOXES which have now been sent to the charity. The appeal are exceptionally grateful and excited about our contribution.

Creativity Weeks

During the first two weeks back after half term, the Foundation Stage, KS 1 and KS 2 took part in a range of exciting activities as part of the Creativity Week theme "Around the World in 5 days!"

The children enjoyed specially prepared drama, singing and extra art lessons. There were numerous visitors to the school, including Ilford Ursuline Gospel Choir who delivered a stunning assembly performance then sang with some of the classes as part of a workshop. We were also lucky enough to work with an artist as well as an art historian who taught us plenty about painting styles around the world. The children had the opportunity to taste food from a range of cultures, and shared their work in a special assembly at the end of the week.

Many sporting successes!

In 3 previous finals we have lost 1 and won 2 against Selwyn. On Wednesday 23rd June we reached the final yet again, beating various teams by scores such as 7-0, 4-0 etc. We lost the final (Selwyn again!) 3-0, but won the overall Championship spanning over the 4 tournaments as we had only ever lost 2 games!
