World Book Day 2018

By T Capon8th March 2018

Due to bad weather condition, Stanhope Primary School had to close on World Book Day 2018… To make up for missing such an exciting day we decided to host it this Thursday instead.

And we are so pleased we did! the children have surpassed our expectations with their costumes this year!

A big thank you to parents/carers for all of your efforts.

 

Year 3 Fair Trade

By T Capon8th March 2018
The next two weeks are Fair Trade Fortnight! Year 3 learned more about Fair Trade and why it is important to communities in countries around the world. They learned about different Fair Trade products and the importance of farmers receiving a fair price. The children were asked to design chocolate packaging and a chocolate bar that could be sold as a Fair Trade product. They were asked to write labels explaining why they had incorporated colours and certain symbols in their design.

Reception – Forest School

By T Capon7th March 2018
Every Monday children in reception take part in forest school activities. Last term it was the turn of Red and Pink group. We have been observing the changes in the forest school, jumping in muddy puddles, measuring sticks and looking for minibeasts. Woodlice are our favourite creatures, we find them under the damp wood.We researched woodlice when we returned to class to find out a little bit more about them.

Reception – Multiskills

By T Capon7th March 2018

The reception class had a fantastic time at the multiskills festival at Temple park. We travelled by minibus to the event, where we took part in lots of different activities including dodge ball, basketball, tennis and gymnastic. We returned to school in time for lunch a little tired but excited to try out our new skills.

 

World Book Day 2018

By T Capon5th March 2018

As you are aware, World Book Day 2018 was Thursday 1st March 2018. Due to weather conditions, Stanhope Primary School was closed on World Book Day, therefore we have decided to host it this Thursday (8th March) instead.

 

We would have deep regrets if the children lost out on the opportunity to dress up as their favourite book author/character!

 

We can’t wait to see all of your wonderful costumes!
