Issue 8 We are now at the end of

January 2016. Where does

the time go I hear you ask.

I’m not sure but it certainly

flies by! It’s only a couple

of weeks until it’s half term.

The children have settled

back into school and every-

thing is running smoothly.

The older children have

taken part in a football

tournament at GL1.

Class Stream have visited

Gloucester Cathedral.

Class Estuary have visited

Bristol Museum.

We have had a travelling

theatre group into school

w h o p e r f o r m e d t h e

Hunchback of Notre Dame.

There are reports of these

events and more in this

Newsletter.

New Year

2016 Class Estuary Trip

to Bristol Museum

On the 25 January2016

class Estuary went on a

six hour long trip to

Bristol Museum. Once

we got there, we put

our bags down and

immediately walked up

the stairs to our

workshop. It was quite

disappointing as we had

already experienced the

same workshop when we

had out earlier Egyptian

topic in class River. After that we looked

around the museum. The

museum was fantastic

and interesting in places.

Some of our favourite

exhibits were the

mummys, the fossils and

diamonds and the

preserved animals. One

of us took a picture with

the flash on and a lady

screeched “NO FLASH!”.

Overall it was a great

experience.

James.

Georgi and Maggi Fuller

have had their cake sale to

help raise money for our

partnership school in Kenya.

They made a fantastic

£30.50. The school council

has decided to sponsor a

child from Mania School to

carry on with their education

after leaving primary school.

Most children f inish

schooling at the end of

primary education. To help

with this sponsorship,

payments will be made from

the toast money.

Well done to Maggie and

Georgi for helping fundraise

for this worthwhile project.

Nia Rodway has donated her

pocket money and Naomi

Eggleton has donated her

tooth fairy money!

Thank you girls!

Our School Values in Action

Responsibility / Compassion / Friendship

/ Service / Creativity / Generosity

On Monday 25th January a

travelling pantomime

came to school and

performed the play, The

Hunch back of Notre

Dame. The group were

very friendly and had lots

of humour. They also gave

us high fives! Personally

I think they had perfect

song choice because it

always got everyone

singing along. They were

also very good with their

props and costumes. By

the end of the pantomime

the whole school had

massive smiles on their

faces

Jaime-May Meadows

thought, “Very funny

amazing love to see it

again!”

Chloe Payne said, “I really

loved it- loved the

humour!”

Cameron McDill said,

“REALLY HILARIOUS!!!!”

Thank you to the

travelling pantomime!!

The Hunchback

of Notre Dame

Forest school

On Friday 29th January, Year 6

went to in the woods of Huntley

with Mrs Hatton in Forest

schools. All of year 6 had a few

challenges, one of them was to

build a camp/den. Then we had

to work out a way to transport

food around the camp for us to

eat.

About one hour later, Mrs

Hatton gave them some nice

warm hot chocolate and after

that they walked back down to

the classroom for home time.

We had an amazing time and

Mrs Hatton said that we worked

really well as a team!

Callum Fudge

Help our Kenyan friend go to

school!

In Kenya, as you should

all know the primary

school we have linked

with, Maina primary

school. In Maina School

there is an incredibly

talented 14 year old who

has the chance of a

lifetime opportunity to

go to a boarding school.

Sadly, her parents can’t

afford it. This is where

we come in. we intend to

raise £1,200.00 from

toast money and other

things for her to go to

Kasima secondary school

for four years! One

of our governors has

kindly offered to make

a monthly donation

towards this endeavour.

Thank you!
