• Maria Taylor Charity Concert

  Thu 15 Dec 2011

  Mrs White led the choir at the Maria Taylor Charity Concert held at St Peter's church on Thursday 15th December.

   

  Wrapped up warmly the choir sang two carols during this special evening concert of carols accompanied by the Chalfont Wind Band. Thankfully the rain held off until the end and grateful singers retired to the church hall for soup!

   

  Well done to all members of the choir!

  

• The Young Entrepreneur Sale

  Tue 13 Dec 2011

  The Young Entrepreneur’s scheme is to give children an idea about how to run a business in a group.

   

  We chose our groups and thought of a name and a logo for our company. We then came up with ideas of products to sell and what we would use to make them. We then got a £20 investment and went to buy the materials to make our products. Then we got to work making our proto-types and brought them in to get Mr. Hagon’s approval.

   

  After making our products to sell we did some market research so as to get the price right. After that we made posters and put them around the school promoting the sale and our companies. We then went around classes telling them what we were selling, the price range, company names and where it was.

   

  When it was the day of the sale we went down to the Da Vinci suite to set up our stools to decorate and show our products as we wanted.

   

  It was then an anxious wait until the first shoppers arrived but when they did, they arrived in droves. There were shoppers and sellers everywhere it was very interesting seeing what items were selling and which items were not. Most of our items sold but some did not. From this sale we have learnt what sells and what doesn’t. We can then put this information toward our next sale in 2012 and think about how we can improve our profits further.

   

  It has been a brilliant project so far and the sale on Tuesday was brilliant.  We have all really enjoyed the opportunities it has given us and look forward to hearing how much profit we have all made and preparing for the next sale.

• Year 3 & 4 Nativity

  Tue 13 Dec 2011

  Year 3 and 4 performed spectacularly in their presentation of 'Rock the Baby' in the Church to round off the term in splendid style.

   

  The solo singers, speakers and actors' voices echoed clearly around the church and obviously enjoying the lively songs, the rest of the 180 children sang with immense enthusiasm.

   

  Well done to all children and staff for creating such a wonderful presentation.

  

• Christmas Production: 5th - 8th December, 2011

  Mon 05 Dec 2011

  On the 14th of November our wonderful stage went up! It was used for ‘WHAT THE DICKENS!’ performed by Year 5 and 6, directed by Mrs Underwood, lighting  by Miss Fielding and sound by Mr Podbury. Mr Smith wrote the excellent songs that we sung. There were 179 children on stage.

   

  Some year 3 and 4 children said:

  • It was enjoyable to watch
  • It was really good
  • It was really funny
  • It was loud
  • It should be in the West end
  • It made people jump
  • It blew the roof off!
  •  

  “WHAT THE DICKENS!” is set in Victorian London and tells the story of a family of children who, on their journey to London to meet their aunt and uncle, unfortunately get lost and end up having an adventure which takes them to the workhouse, farm, chimneys and the court house!

   

  The children performed brilliantly over eight shows and thrilled their packed audiences.

   

  Mrs Underwood said, ”The children of Chalfont St Peter CE Academy always rise to the challenge! To think they have achieved such quality in the space of three weeks is amazing! Well done to all of the children and a huge thank you to our fantastic staff who have helped, encouraged and supported the children during these busy weeks.”
