  • CTA raises £180 for Comic Relief

    Fri 15 Mar 2013
    We have all enjoyed a brilliant day of fun and excitement, thanks to our children on the CTA committee who organised inter-house activities, fund-raising, cake stall and jokes to entertain us all in assembly.
    Dressing up as Superheroes was one option for the day, along with wearing own clothes and, of course, red noses. After a morning of inter-house fun and games, the CTA sold cakes they had made to raise money for the Comic Relief charity.
    By the end of the day, the money was counted, comic performances were ready, and we all shared in an exciting assembly.
    There was quite a stir of excitement when eating a banana transformed Mr Phoenix into Bananaman... and a parade of other Superheroes followed. After a round of jokes, and the awarding of Fairtrade bananas as well as golden stickers, the total money raised was announced - now a total of £180. Well done everyone for taking part in a great day of fun and fundraising!
  • A fantastic Fairtrade Fortnight

    Fri 08 Mar 2013
     Well done and thank you to all staff, parents and children for their contribution to our Fairtrade activities. The children have learned a tremendous amount about world trade issues, justice and equality, through fairtrade activities integrated into their class learning, and through collective worship and other fairtrade events. From role play to debate, and singing to creating interactive ICT multimedia presentations, the children have really embraced the fairtrade concept.
    One indicator of the strong support for the important issues around Fairtrade is the excellent support for our non-profit Fairtrade stall, with over £400 worth of Fairtrade products sold. Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to support our Fairtrade activities, and well done also to the winners of our Fairtrade poster competition!
    All this also means we are well on the way to becoming an official Fairtrade school - and we will certainly be continuing ongoing support for Fairtrade throughout the coming weeks, months and years ahead.
