• Library Fundraiser-17th May 2019

  Mon 29 Apr 2019 Children at Southglade

  Library Fundraiser- 17th May 2019

  Please read the message below from our wonderful children detailing why our library fundraiser is so important to them:

  Please help us! At the moment our library is in complete devastation, it’s so messy we don’t even want to venture up there anymore. It’s such a shame because the space could be eye-popping, exciting and cosy, we just need your help to raise enough money to make it this way. At the moment, we have an incredible design for the new space, which we were so excited to see – it looks incredible! But unfortunately, this makes it quite expensive and school just hasn’t got enough funds. This is why we have decided to arrange a sponsored fundraiser, on the 17th of May, where each phase will think of some super-fun activities to try out. This might be: read for an half-an- hour straight, a sponsored skip or even a sponsored silence. Anything you give us will help, even the smallest amount so please help us to get the library we deserve. We will be so grateful for your help.

  So, please will you help us?

• Year 5 Visit to Emilios Restaurant

  Thu 25 Apr 2019 Mr Pegram

  Yesterday Year 5 had the amazing opportunity to visit the fabulous Emilio's restaurant to get a taste of what Greek food and culture is like.

  They enjoyed the following delicious cuisine:

  - a selection of breads and dips

  - beef stifado with rice

  - sumptuous chocolate cake (with cream for the adults)

   

  They then participated in some Greek dancing before returning to school for the end of the day. Their behaviour was excellent and they all returned well fed and very happy with the wonderful experiences they had enjoyed.

  This week has been our second awe and wonder week for children from Foundation Stage to Y5.

  The children have been answering an enquiry question in a creative and inspiring way.

  The enquiry questions are as follows:

  F1: I wonder what makes us healthy?

  F2: I wonder why do bears live in cages?

  Y1: I wonder what makes Britain great?

  Y2: I wonder how are emotions make us feel?

  Y3: I wonder... are all explosions disruptive?

  Y4: I wonder.. do all birds fly?

  Y5: I wonder how life in Greece is different?

   

  Children have been seen designing bright and colourful wings for a fashion show; preparing for a Great British afternoon tea with cakes and sandwiches; exploring volcanic explosions; and experiencing authentic Greek food and dancing at a Greek restaurant.

• School Council Shopping Trip to Bulwell

  Wed 24 Apr 2019 Mrs Morton

  Today some of the School Councillors went to purchase some equipment for our new Play Leaders from a variety of shops.

  We purchased games such as swing ball as well as board games, jigsaw puzzles and colouring activities. The children behaved impeccably and were a credit to the school.

  We can't wait for the play leaders to start their new roles making our playground and even more exciting place to spend lunchtimes!

  

• Easter Bonnet Parades

  Fri 05 Apr 2019 Mr Pegram

  Today we were amazed once more by the creativity of our children and their families at our annual Easter Bonnet celebrations. The Key-Stage Two hall was packed for three fabulous parades.

  The Foundation Stage children wowed their audience with an outstanding Easter song whilst Key Stage One and Key Stage Two pupils impressed with their home-made or school-made creations.

  Winners were chosen and every child was given a small gift to celebrate Easter. Special thanks must go to Miss Robbins who organised the prizes for the Easter Bonnet Parades and to the local Co-Op and Tescos who generously donated Easter prizes to our school. Below our some pictures from the parades . Have a great Easter!

• 2F go to the local library for their Act of Kindness

  Thu 04 Apr 2019 Miss Smith

  On Thursday 4th April, 2F took a trip to the local Southglade library.

   

  'As our act of kindness this half term we wrote letters to unexpected readers to brighten their day. We went to the Southglade Park Library and posted them in random books in the library for people to receive and read. The people in the library were so pleased to see us and even asked for letters in their own books.'

   

  2F really enjoyed their Act of Kindness: 'I loved writing a letter to make someone feel happy. My mum would be happy if she got a letter.'

   

  We wait to see if anyone gets in touch with us to let us know if they received their random act of kindess.
