NSPCC
Fri 29 Jan 2016NSPCC
Kia Giles from the NSPCC came into school today to speak to the children about the charity and how we could help raise funds.
Each class have been set a challenge and have been asked if they could collect sponsors. It is not a competition and Kia made it very clear that raising just £1 would make a difference.
Kia will be back on 24th February to hand out special badges to the children who have taken part.

Has anyone got a small freezer we could borrow for the night to put ice creams in? We have a generator to run it. Drinks and sweets will be purchased from Makro. This should all keep the cost down for parents.
Raffle – Nicky Hawken has already been nominated to sell tickets following her stellar performance last year!!

Target
Mrs R-W has requested a shelter on the field for use in the (hopefully) sunny weather. Although this will cost a large amount of money it will be well used and provide much needed shelter. If anyone has any objections to this please speak up. It’s hoped to get it done March/April time and have a grand opening at fun on the field so everyone can see what their money has been used for.

Educate against hate
Wed 20 Jan 2016Educate against hate
An "Educate against hate" website has been launched by England's Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, as part of a renewed drive against extremism.
The website holds information for schools and parents.
The anti-radicalisation website promises to provide "practical advice to protect children from the dangers of extremism", with information from the government and groups such as the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC).
It includes information on:
§ warning signs of danger
§ how parents should talk to children about extremism
§ steps concerned parents can take

Compliments Tree
Fri 08 Jan 2016Compliments Tree
We now have a Compliments Tree in the Key Stage 2 entrance. Each week staff and pupils can add a compliment about another member of the school.
This idea has developed from the Compliments/ Suggestions/Little Worries box that our School Council designed in school. We found there were so many compliments we decided to create the Compliments Tree to share them everyone.
When you are in school make sure you have a look - our tree is very special.
