Paralympic Archer at School

Keeping Active and Being Inspired!

We have had a special visitor in school on Friday; we welcomed Great Britain's Paralympic Archer Danielle Brown to the school. Danielle won a Gold medal at the London Paralympic Games and has been working with each class to inspire us all to pursue our dreams.

Thank you to School Parliament and Mr Perry for organising this special event which has helped us raise money for The Wingate Special Children's Trust' based at the Wingate Centre, which offers specialist residential accommodation and recreational activities for children with special needs.

Sapphire class had a wonderfully sunny outdoor learning session on Tuesday, the children had a wonderful time making different instruments. They used natural and manmade materials to make their instruments and they even managed to play them!

They also experimented with their cup telephones to find out if the length of string affected the sound. They are all looking forward to their session next week – fingers crossed the sunny weather holds for them!

We have enjoyed a wonderful St George's Day themed lunch together today. Thank you to Mrs Hayward and her team for once again cooking up a treat in the kitchen!

The children in Diamond class are taking part in an art project based on Pop Art for the Audlem Music and Arts Festival to be displayed in the Methodist Church. They are working with Christine Johnson creating their own 'masterpieces'. I am sure they will create a wonderful display for the Festival – please look out for it.

This week's Praise Book children are:
Mrs Hayward's Class – Ollie Binns
Miss Danha's Class – Lincoln Howell
Mrs Richardson's and Mr Morrey's Class – Grace Burton
Mrs Stoker's Class – Harriet Weatherstone
Mr Perry's Class – Jem Sheppard

Congratulations to you all!
