On this page you can browse to see details of the various events in which the whole school have been involved.

This page will be added to regularly, so do continue to come along to have a look at what we are all involved in this year.

HARVEST THANKSGIVING

Once again, families and friends were extremely generous this year and sent lots of food into school for us to display on the harvest table and to share with those less fortunate than ourselves.

Mrs Adcock and FOBS helpers did a lovely harvest display and the food was shared with Majors Mr and Mrs Battle from the Salvation Army, and with elderly residents in Harvey House and the bungalows near to our school.

Families of children in Year 4 and Year 5 also helped to provide the contents for an Aqua Box to donate to the Rotary appeal which helps families to survive natural disasters all over the world.

The Aquabox we donated in 2009 travelled to the Gaza Strip to support a family in crisis.

END OF AUTUMN TERM CELEBRATION

As usual, we finished Autumn Term with a special assembly in which staff and children had the opportunity to show their particular talents. We were delighted to welcome the special guests below - some of our support staff who treated us to a lot of laughs.

We also loved listening to the talents of some of the children who have been attending our X-Factor Club - one of whom is shown below performing, with Mr Holt accompanying her on his guitar.

This brought Autumn Term 2010 to a very happy and successful close.

HELD TOGETHER

200TH ANNIVERSARY OF CHURCH SCHOOLS

We marked the 200th anniversary of Church Schools with a special event called Held Together. The Leicester Diocese had commissioned a special sculpture in olive wood showing Jesus. This sculpture is going around all schools in the diocese during this year so that all children, staff and the those in the wider community can take hold of the statue as we remember this special occasion.

The photograph shows one of our children nd her Mum with the statue during a special community event that Reverend Philip hosted in school to help us learn more about the history of church schools and our own school in particular.

WORLD BOOK DAY

We always enjoy this annual event which we usually mark by thinking of our favourite authors and books and perhaps dressing up as our favourite book characters.

The picture shows some of our boys as book characters. Usual class timetables were suspended for the day as books and reading became our full day focus. All children were given a £1 book token to encourage reading..
