Last week pupils from primary and secondary shared their work, on the local community, with Lewis creating the mural on the top yard. Parents, carers and people from the community also came into school and shared information, knowledge and images with pupils and Lewis to support with creating the ‘Community Mural’.

The pupils created some outstanding drawings and had clearly spent lots of time researching about the history and the local community to share with Lewis and support with the creating of the design.

 

Good Afternoon everyone,

Today we held a community morning in the school garden and it was a huge success. We showed parents, carers, Stoneleigh residents and friends within the community the updates of the Mural which Lewis and Jordan have been working hard on all week.
We opened up the Garden and the PTA had created a lovely space with refreshments and well welcomed drinks on a hot Friday. An excellent Tombola (which was VERY popular) organising Sam from Prime Pizzas to come and create some outstanding pies (Pizzas). Mr Bolton and 10B pupils from making French Onion Soup with the produce coming from the school garden. We also had gift bags of local organic vegetables that the pupils have grown and harvested for guests to take.

Once again, I would personally like to thank everyone for making this morning a huge success and a lovely atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

Mr. Harrison

 

This term Maple class have been looking at different types of transport. We were so excited when it was announced that we were going to Beamish,

Maple class looked at all of the different transports that we seen.

The children loved riding on the trams and the busses waving to passerbys

We loved looking at how different the transport is compared to now.

When we were walking around we also looked at the houses. The children were shocked at how small the houses were and that the floor had no carpets,

We even took a trip to the school. There were different entrances for boys and girls and the children were so shocked hat there wasn’t any toys!!

We then went into the shops, the meat was hanging from the ceiling and the shoes were soooo tiny. We didn’t think we would be able to fit into the shoes now,

We had the best day and loved going on the trip. It was so interesting but I know the children’s favourite was riding on the trams.

 

Beech class visited the outdoor educational to enjoy some amazing stone baked pizzas, baked in our new pizza oven. Mr Harrison and his gang have done an awesome job building it. We were able to add some of our own home-grown basil or parsley, which we all agreed made it even richer and nicer!

In preparation for the football match against the Oaks on Monday night, FC Crofty Crew had their first training session last night. Mr Pearson put the staff through their paces with an outdoor gym session, then down to business.

Team spirt in the camp is high after Mr Harrison, Mr Jacques, Mr Cameron, Mr Heywood, Mr Sotheran and Mr Davis were cheered on by Miss Veevers and Mrs Wood.

We’re sure the students will be backing their teachers all the way!

The first of our onion crop has been used to make our cheese and onion quiche by the kitchen cook for school dinners.

It went down well with the students – just ask them!
