  ·         The children come over to the juniors every Tuesday for play-time

  ·         The Y2 teachers will begin a short unit of work with the children that they will complete in September as Y3s.

• Comic Relief - Update

  Mon 18 Mar 2013

  Hurray!!!! Look at how much you have raised!!!

   very big 'THANK YOU and Well Done' for the money you have raised for Comic Relief!
  The total we have raised so far is  ...

   

  £620

   

  The children had a thoroughly enjoyable day raising money for good causes overseen by the Comic Relief Charity.  The children looked the part as they dressed for the occassion either as bikers or bakers and even biking bakers!  The day got off to a great start with some of our children presenting a Comic Relief assembly... this included Mr Wade bravely taking on the dare to eat 3 cream crackers with in a minute without having a drink of water!!  Where Warwick Davis succeeded -  so did our very own Mr Wade consuming 3 crackers in 45 seconds!  During the morning each class had their slow bicycle race - it's not as easy as it sounds.  Thank you to everyone who donated cakes for our cake sale - they went  down extremely well!!!
  Sadly the rain put pay to our Grand Final Bike Off, however this did not dampen our spirits and a great day was had by all and we raised lots of money for a very deserving cause.
  Thank you all!
