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...

Evidencing the impact of the School Sports Premium
Wed 04 Apr 2018Please have a look at Miss Richards' excellent report on how we have prioritized the money we are allocated, spent it and what the impact has been on the curriculum and also the attitudes of our children to regular sport and activity. Its very detailed but shows what an excellent job Miss Richards and Mr Tivey have done in broadening our offer of different sports to all children but also getting different children active on a regular basis. To find it look on the 'Key Information' tab then the 'PE and Healthy Living' tab. The report is at the top of this thread. -

Many thanks for the fabulous entries for our Easter Egg Decorating Competition. We had 55 entries this year, which is the most we have ever had in my time here.
