School Council Fundraising

School council have been busy organising fundraising activities this term. The fun started in March with Comic Relief. School council arranged a crazy hair day and come to school in red themed day. Several members of the school council came into school early and collected donations as the children and parents walked through the gates in the morning. They raised a tremendous £440.

After discussing fundraising activities and charities with their classes, the members of the school council agreed that they would raise money for the Salvation Army and Oxfam. Each class collected 10p’s for a coin race on the last day of term – Oak class collected the most. Well done. At the same time, we organised an enormous Easter egg raffle with all prizes donated by members of staff. Amidst much excitement, there was a raffle draw on the last day of term with over 50 prizes! With these efforts an impressive £550 was raised.

Some of the lucky winners!
The start of the exciting 10p race. Some of the lines got very long and a little bit wobbly.

Balancability and Jack and the Beanstalk

It’s been a busy few weeks for us in Reception with the children taking part in Balancability and Fun Factory which took place on Tuesday of this week. Balancability will continue to take place on Friday mornings with the children learning lots of bike riding skills, they have had fun so far!!

 

Since we started Term 5, we have been looking at the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have acted out the story (after we had embarrassed ourselves first by acting it out panto style, sorry no pictures) and been creating their own story maps to help them retell the story really well. Next week they will be writing the story themselves, we look forward to reading and seeing all the books they create.
