• Ofsted Inspection 28.3.2017

  Mon 27 Mar 2017 O Knowles
  On Tuesday the 28th of March we will be visited by two inspectors from Ofsted. They will be here to judge the effectiveness of the work that we do. The letter and leaflet here explains the process and how you can have your say. We are very proud of your children and look forward to sharing the great work they do with the inspectors.

• Our creative kitchen staff!

  Mon 20 Mar 2017
  The Eden staff, who work in our kitchen, provide our children with tasty hot and cold meals every day. Recently they have been working hard to improve the presentation of the food and have received training in fruit and vegetable model making. Their creations are fantastic and adorn the salad bar every Friday. Take a look at the images and we're sure you will agree that they are pretty fantastic!

  

• Walking to School

  Fri 17 Mar 2017 O Knowles
  On Tuesday we had a visit from Strider, who came to the school to give a prize for the 'Walk to School' competition. The children were asked to take a photo of something they saw on their journey to school that they wouldn't have seen if they had come by car.  You can see the competition entries in the office area of our school. The winner was Lucas with his worm photo, and he won a family ticket to the SS Great Britain!!  Strider also went onto the playground at the end of the day, to give a high 5 to all the children who regularly walk to school or park and stride!

  

• World Book Day Fun!

  Fri 03 Mar 2017 O Knowles

  Wow! What a day! We had bears, lots of Goldilockses, porridge bowls, spoons, chairs, red riding hoods - you name it we had it!

  Check out the pictures below to see some of the children in their amazing costumes.

   

  Heather Butler, the author,  came in to talk to the children during assemblies about World Book Day. It was great to see so many pupils interested in buying a book written by Heather and having it signed by Heather herself after school yesterday. 

   

  Children were given a World Book Day voucher to receive a £1 discount off of a book, including any book from the Scholastic book catalogue that came out yesterday. Alternatively, your child can pick up a special £1 book with their voucher from all branches of Waterstones, WHSmith or Asda.

• Cake Sale Success!

  Fri 27 Jan 2017 O Knowles

  As I am sure you are aware, we have two very unwell children in Year 2 who we have decided to do some fundraising for. We would like to say a big ‘THANK YOU’ to all the children, staff and parents who donated money, helped make and buy cakes and overall supported the day. The children enjoyed making the cakes (and eating them as well!) and the school managed to raise over £1300 in total, which will be shared between Dexter and Thomas’s families. This is a fantastic effort and on behalf of the boys we are all extremely grateful. The families will be invited into school for an assembly where they will be presented with the funds raised, and we will ask them to keep us updated on what the money went towards for the boys. 

  What a fantastic whole school community event, real teamwork! 

  

• Walk to school assembly

  Tue 24 Jan 2017 O Knowles

  Today we had a visit from Strider!  He was encouraging us to walk to school twice a week so that we can earn a badge at the end of the month!  The children are very keen to get started and will try to keep this up for the rest of the school year!  Good luck!

  

• Christmas Lunch

  Wed 14 Dec 2016 O Knowles
  Yesterday was our Christmas Lunch and it was amazing! The children were served a fantastic meal by staff which they all enjoyed. They had crackers and Christmas music accompanied their eating! Well done to the Eden kitchen staff, our School Meal supervisors and the teachers for helping us feed over 400 children! And a big thank you to the children who all behaved brilliantly!

  

• Our awesome Cultural Fayre!

  Wed 23 Nov 2016 O Knowles
  Last week we had our fourth Cultural Fayre. This is a celebration of our diverse school community. This year parents and staff prepared food from different cultures for all to try. We also had singing from our two choirs and traditional dancing from Indonesia. A big thank you to all those contributed and came. And last but not least a massive thank you to Mrs Lowson who organises this event every year. 

  

• Remembrance Day Art Work

  Fri 11 Nov 2016 O Knowles

  Armistice Day is on 11 November and is also known as Remembrance Day. It marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, back in 1918. Nowadays, people remember those who were lost in the war by holding a two-minute silence and by wearing a red poppy.

   

  At school this week the children have worked hard on creating their own art work based on the symbol of the poppy. Have a look through the gallery below to see some of the amazing pieces that have been created.
