BANK LAUNCH!

Today was the first day of the school bank and boy, it was busy! We had over 25 customers, who were all paying in various amounts of money (and were all pleased that they got their free piggy banks in the process!).

The bank staff did extremely well to cope with all the pressure and were scurrying away, completing paying in slips, handing over piggy banks and stamping bits of paper left, right and centre!

Later on in the day, I took Hollie and Eamon down to the Natwest branch on Marsh Road to pay the money in. Well done to everyone involved in the bank and roll on next week!

BARNFIELD WEST VISIT!

Today, we were paid a visit from Mr Bird and Mrs Phipps from Barnfield West Academy, who came in to tell everyone about Barnfield! We learnt all about their huge sports hall, their amazing theatre, the tonnes of after school clubs they run, the different houses and how important their school uniform is.

I think the children were suitably impressed by everything they saw and those who are moving there in September have a lot to look forward to indeed!

WORLD BOOK DAY!
Thursday was World Book Day and children throughout school were invited to dress up as characters that they have been introduced to in the books they have read in class. So in Year 6 we had all manner of characters, including astronauts, scientists, Shakespearian characters and lawyers to name a few! I was very impressed with how many children got into the spirit of things by dressing up and how much effort went into creating some of the outfits!
