Mrs Lonsdale organised Silly Sports for Comic Relief Day

Despite the terrible weather, we valiantly went ahead with our plans and a lot of fun was had by all. The children were organised into house and wore coloured bibs to show which house they were in. Mr Darley took lots of wonderful photos. It is hard to choose the best ones to show you, but I will pick out some which illustrate the spirit of the occasion.

Y6 looked after the younger members of their house.

What a marvellous advertisement for our day!

Great enthusiasm and encouragement for the team.

Two brothers battling through (all siblings are in the same houses).

 Terrific teamwork.

A healthy looking competitor.

A Very Successful Concert - it was great to be a part of it!

Congratulations to the children in the Kinder Choir, who performed beautifully in the concert on Sunday.  On top of that, the singing with the choir was really moving and there were quite a lot of tears (of joy) shed! Many thanks to the parents who chaperoned the children, but there was one person who did the most, and that was Ms Butler, who gave up her own Mothers' Day to help other people enjoy theirs!

I know I am biased, but they really sang their song superbly - here they are ready to perform (picture courtesy of Mrs Hughes, thank you!).

Kinder Choir Rehearsal

Yesterday, the children in the Kinder Choir event went up to New Mills Primary School to rehearse with Hayfield, New Mills and Chapel Primary Schools (the majority of the children in Chapel Primary School were dressed as Wally, from the book 'Where's Wally!). We would not have been able to do this if parents hadn't offered to help out with transport - so thank you so much to those who did.

The singing was beautiful and Mrs Ellis was as magnificent as ever! If you would like to hear the performance it is at the Buxton Octagon and starts at 3 p.m. (Performers have a rehearsal in the morning and have to be in their seats by 2.30 p.m.)

World Book Day - Come in and read to your children and others

This is a message to all parents who are available for 15 minutes on Thursday morning 9 - 9.15. Let's start the day off with a story, or reading from a book your child enjoys or one of your old favourites.

Everyone welcome - especially male readers as it gives our boys good role models to follow.

Just arrive at your child's class with a book and you will have a small audience to read to!

Beautiful Church Drawing

Can you guess the age of the little girl, who drew this marvellous picture of a Church. Mrs Plant was so amazed by it that she sent it to me, so I could see it. I thought that you should too. This was drawn by MP (we don't use names on the website!) in Year 1, who is still only 5 years old. What a talent in the making, the detail is incredible. The sticker at the bottom says it all!
