Hagg Farm October 2018
Sat 20 Oct 2018What an amazing week. I am so proud of the pupils who have attended Hagg Farm this week. They have been a pleasure to work with. This week has been about making memories which I hope will last a lifetime and it has been a privilege to be a part of it. Throughout the week they have taken part in a range of activities from problem solving, orienteering, nightline, canoeing, rock hopping, Jacob's ladder, zip wire, abseiling and caving. During the week they have embraced the 5R’s: risk, relationships, respect, responsibility and an abundance of resilience. Hagg Farm staff have been impressed with the way they have worked this week and their effort and enthusiasm during all activities – even kit cleaning! They have been one of the best groups our instructors have worked with. High praise indeed.
Pictures of the visit can be found on the Hagg Farm Residential page in the 'Children's section' of the website.
A huge thank you to all the staff who have supported me this week Mrs Ellis, Mr Still, Mrs Jelley and Mr Hudson. I couldn't have done it without you and I am extremely grateful to all of you for your hard work and commitment to ensuring that is has been an amazing week.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Miss Gibson

Year 6 Enterprise – Wildthing Summer Camp
Fri 25 May 2018It's certainly been a day of mixed emotions! No better way to send Mr Tivey on his way, than a 'soak the teacher event'. The wet weather didn't hamper the event. We raised £89 towards our end of term Summer Camp. I think it's fair to say, Mr Tivey and I got a 'proper soaking' and a number of sponges were definitely on target.
Thank you to everyone who supported the event....secretly I think Mr Tivey and I enjoyed it just as much as the pupils! I do however have a very long memory and will no doubt recall the shots that hit the target, when I'm writing reports over half term!
Huge thanks for your continued support.....more events to follow after half term. Watch this space!
Smartie Challenge £240.40
Ice Creams Sale £105.10
Dress Down Friday £43.50
6G Pot £47.00
6T Pot £48.00
Soak a teacher £89.00
Total so far - £573
Target - £1035 (£462 to go!)

Year 6 Enterprise – Wildthing Summer Camp - More Activities
Tue 22 May 2018As you will now be aware, Mr Tivey leaves us on Friday 25th May 2018. To mark his departure and to raise further funds for our Year 6 Summer Camp, we will be holding a 'Soak a Teacher' event.
During Friday morning break, I will be supporting Mr Tivey, as pupils are encouraged to purchase sponges to aim and soak us! (We must be mad!) Pupils can purchase 1 sponge for 50p or 3 sponges for £1. I'm sure they will all enjoy the opportunity to soak us through. During this break-time, ice-creams will also be available to purchase.
The small change challenge is still running, so any loose change is welcome.
A huge thank you for everyone's support so far. It really is greatly appreciated.
Money raised so far...
Smartie Challenge £240.40
Ice Creams Sale £105.10

A container will be placed in each classroom. The class raising the most money by the time the containers are counted on Friday 29th June 2018, will win themselves a non-uniform day.
