Swifts LOVE animals!

Super Swifts were lucky enough to visit the farm that arrived for our fabulous Summer Fayre!  They were in awe! Thank you to Longdown Farm for visiting us and letting us experience your amazing animals!

Here's some of the fab pictures taken...

The Summer Fayre GUNGE Event!

This year's GUNGE event at the Summer Fayre was better than ever! The GUNGE Master did not disappoint and poor Mrs Hayward, Mr Gould and Mr Soffe really didn't have a choice.  Well done to them all for being such STARS and taking those GHASTLY things so well, it truly looked VILE! Here are some of the photos that captured those magnificent moments... look away now if you're sensitive to revolting things!

  

Super Swift's SMASH Summer Fayre!

Wow! It seems like a life time since last week's Summer Fayre...! What a week is has been!  Swifts did incredibly well with their super stands and words can't describe how proud I am of their amazing efforts! They ran the 'Coconut Shy', 'Tin Can Alley' and 'Selfie' stands with such enthusiasm and wanted to make sure everyone at the Fayre had a go! Well done superstars :)  Thank you to everyone who visited us! Here are some fab pics...

VIRGIN GROW YOUR MONEY - THE RESULTS!

Year 5 have taken part in the Virgin Grown Your Money Project again this year, where they were given £5 each to invest in a business idea to sell at the Summer Fayre.  I am proud to announce that EVERY group that took part made a profit - we are all budding entrepreneurs! The winning group was Team Titan with their delicious sweet cones - did you buy one?  They made a whopping £51.52!  As a class we made £126.20, which the children are currently planning on what to spend it on.  They have already decided that they would like to give some to the charities raising money for recent events in London and Manchester.  A big thank you to everyone involved and especially to the children for all their hard work.

Summer Fayre

Money is in and being counted but I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for an AMAZING summer fayre. There was a lovely buzz around the school. Thank you to our great PTA, all the helpers, the children and staff, and to all the community for coming along and supporting the school. The money we raise is vital in making school improvements in a time of dwindling budgets.

Lastly, a huge thank you to Jennie and Kirsty. You are both PTA stars and the school is so grateful for everything you both do.

More photos to follow and once we know the grand total, we will let you all know!
