• GroundForce Week 2014 - half term project!

  Mon 27 Oct 2014

  We have had an exciting week in school during half term with a busy school, full of activity!

   

  1. At last the long-awaited Learning Chalet arrived and has been constructed.

   

  2. The replacement of the fencing all the way down the playground has taken place.

   

  3. The 'quad' between Years 5 and 6 has been tidied, the greenhouse dismantled (to be relocated in the spring) and new plants and wind-catcher put in.

   

  4. The chickens have a new hen-house installed.

   

  4. The 'quad' between Years 6 and 4 has been upgraded with the completion of our Indian elephant (started during arts week) and new plants added.

   

  5. The planters in the top playground have been replenished with fresh plants and a new tree!

   

  6. Planter/benches have been added to the lower playground and behind the chalet.

   

  7. New plants have been put in along the Penn Road border.

   

  8. The bins at the back of Year 5 have been fenced off, making a much more attractive outlook with railings painted.

   

  Still to come...

  • New gates on Penn Road
  • Outdoor seating areas behind the chalet, near Year 6
  • Decorating inside the Learning Chalet and furnishing with shelves, tables, bean bags etc
  • New flags for the top playground

   

  And next June...

  • the National Lottery/Sport England funded playground enhancements project will fund £29,000 worth of playground markings, grids, large covers/shades, activity markings, storage etc

   

  Thank you to all the teams for your hard work in making these projects happen during the week!

• Composer Visit

  Fri 17 Oct 2014
  We were delighted to have a visit from our composer friend, Mr Eric Angus this term. He came into school to work with Years 5 and 6 for the morning, giving us an update on his latest musical, "The Boy who fell into a Book". He told us about the plot and how he had worked with the author of the story, Alan Ayckbourn. Mr Angus was able to share his experiences of putting on the musical in Scarborough this summer. He gave us some useful tips for our production!
