• School library open in the summer!

  Thu 17 Jul 2014

   

  Our library will be open twice a week in the holidays for Year R - 5.  Children can change books and, where applicable, do their Accelerated Reader (AR) quizzes on the ipads.  We are very grateful to Mr Hedges who has kindly offered this for the first time.  We hope that lots of families come along!  Parents must stay with KS1 children.  KS2 children who come without an adult will be very welcome but the expectation will be that they choose a book, quiz etc and then go home (ie this isn’t the same as a holiday club).  We are only responsible for the children when they are in the library.  

                       

  Mr Hedges will sign each owl on your sheet when you visit the library – try to earn some £s for the Term 1 book fair! 

  Remember to bring your sheet in each time!

   

  It will be open EVERY TUESDAY & THURSDAY 10am - 12 from the week beginning 28th July until the week ending 29th August

  Staff Charity Champs Remember Oliver Thompson

   

  Team Awesome made up of staff from our school, both present and past, took part in the CRY Heart of London Bridges Walk 2014 raising money for Cardiac Risk in the Young.

   

  They took part in the five mile walk through London in memory of their friend and colleague Oliver Thompson, who passed away suddenly a year ago at the age of 29.

   

  They were joined by Oliver’s family as around 1200 CRY supporters crossed seven of the Thames bridges from Embankment to Tower Bridge.

   

  Cardiac Risk in the Young aims to provide heart screening programmes which can help identify heart conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed and they also support families who have suffered bereavement.

   

  Teaching assistant Sarah Barnett said: “It was an emotional day full of laughter and fond memories.”

   

  Team Awesome have also staged the Wizard of Oz panto and other fundraising events at the school to raise money for the charity.

  

• England Cricketer visits Cliftonville

  Fri 11 Jul 2014

  Year 3 and Year 4 had a fantastic day today when Kent and England cricketer Geraint Jones came to Cliftonville Primary School. After an assembly to the whole school where the children asked lots of interesting questions of Geraint, each class had their opportunity to develop a few basic skills in catching and throwing before putting them into action in a game. All the children had a great deal of fun.  He kindly donated a signed bat which will take pride of place in school.
