Children in Need: Pyjamas, Sponsored Silence and Dodgeball!
On Friday 16th November, everybody had a comfortable day at School wearing their pyjamas and slippers to support Children in Need. As well as making a donation to be able to wear pyjamas for the day, pupils and staff took part in various activities to raise even more money for this huge national charity day including a Tuck Sale, Beat the Goalie and even Lauren Barber’s very lucrative sponsored silence! But the major highlight of the day had to be the staff vs senior pupils Dodgeball match at lunchtime on our new MUGA games courts. With the rest of the School cheering on from the sidelines, two teams of pupils took their turn to take on the staff. Much noise, running about, ball throwing, somewhat questionable interpretation of the rules, Dr Neill’s intervention on the pupils’ side to support one lone student player against all the staff by herself and a lot of fun later, the teachers’ team emerged victorious by the narrowest of margins.
A great spirit-lifter for a dull autumn day and all for a great cause too. We’re pleased to report that CHS raised £575.47 for Children in Need. Who’s in for helping Pudsey next year?!
Bulletin

fascinated to learn more
about space and stars
last week when they
visited the senior physics
labs. They even saw an
incredible experiment to
create a real comet!
We are very excited
about CHS’s involvement
in HiSparc- a serious

into the detection of
cosmic rays. Read more

online about
recent senior
sport - girls
performed
well at the
Avon netball tournament and the
boys’ rugby drew at Cathedral.
Plus county hockey trials are
underway with lots of our girls
doing well. Full round up soon!
A group of Y12
students led a
session on 26th
October (Mufti
Day!) as part of
the Leadership
Award Program they have
developed. The younger pupils
participated in debates with great
enthusiasm and consideration.
Year 4 have been
learning about
skeletons over
the past two
weeks and were
introduced to
“Bob” who came out of retirement to
help in the lessons like a true
professional!
French in Year 1
We will be introducing a programme
of French into Year 1 at the start of
next term. This will be an exciting
introduction to languages and will be
coordinated by Mrs Sutcliffe whose
enthusiasm will no doubt inspire the
children. It is our intention that this
initiative will instil in the children an
appreciation of other languages and
cultures that will last a lifetime.
Vive le Francais!
LTA Mini-Red Tennis for Reception and Year 1 children
Mr Richard Conway, our tennis
coach, is going to run ‘mini-red’

primary in Guangzhou, China and the
First of May preschool in Beira,
Mozambique were both noted:
“Children and parents from Clifton

Guangzhou were in Bristol recently as

with them to make a prime time
documentary about the trip and the
also managed a coaching session at

“... central library was the setting for
the Bristol Link with Beira (BLB) to

Solidarity- 21 years of twinning with
Beira” written by Susie Weldon and
sponsored by UWE. Special guest was
Ilda Raivoso …. Clifton High School’s

celebration to reflect their links with

Year 2 have had
an exciting and
busy time. They
enjoyed an ‘Art
Attack’ visit to
Tyntesfield where
they designed their own ‘Hunkypunk’
and also celebrated a medieval feast
back at School to round off their
“Castles” topic. There was singing and
dancing and even a ‘bird pie’!
Congratulations

(entirely in Spanish!)
