The Beginning of Book Week

With the run-up to celebrating Book Week, Aimee got her creative juices flowing. She spent an entire weekend drawing book covers and characters. It wasn't just for fun, though. These works of art were used to decorate the doors around the school. The children absolutely loved seeing them. It brought a touch of magic to the celebration, enhancing our shared love for books.

 

New Library Opening

Another exciting event was the official opening of our new library. It's conveniently situated at the edge of the hall. Now that it's open, the children can start completing their challenge charts. There are so many adventures and new worlds waiting for them in those books.

 

The Outdoor Library

But that's not all. We're also planning to open an outdoor library this coming week. While we still have a bit of organising to do, we're already starting to fill it with books. It's more than just a library, though. We're equipping it with waterproof and picnic blankets so that the children can sit and read on the playground and eventually, the school field. We've even added some blankets for them to snuggle under if the spring air is a bit chilly, and some comfy cushions for a cozy reading experience.

 

The Calm Playground

With the addition of the outdoor library, the middle playground is undergoing a transformation. It will now be known as "The Calm Playground". This change is sure to bring a new and relaxing dynamic to the children's playtime. And that's not all. Keep an eye out for more changes coming to the tower soon enough!

 

Gratitude

We must extend a huge thank you to Hardstaff Barrriers. They generously provided the PTA with £500 in funding. This donation has greatly helped us in making these transformations in the middle playground. Without their assistance, we wouldn't have been able to achieve it so soon. We look forward to sharing more news about our involvement with Hardstaff Barriers in the near future.

Fundraising

Our fundraising frenzy in the 2022-23 school year hit a whopping £10,105.21! We splurged on all the fun stuff: climbing frames, geography maps, history timelines, a surprise ice cream van, pizza parties for the Year 6 superstars, donut delights for Year 2 champs, and chocolate treats for math whizzes in Year 1 and 4. Plus, we jazzed things up with music and French lessons, a fab Year 6 send-off bash, and even help support year 6 launch their business venture! Oh, and let's not forget the Puffin class book bags, Jubilee plaques, wildflower seeds for all, and a Base 1 cloakroom makeover. Phew! All this while keeping up with our annual commitment of £5,800. Now, brace yourselves for our next mission: hitting the £18,000 jackpot this year, which includes our trusty £5,800 annual pledge. Let's make magic happen!
