There was lots going on at Stanhope Primary School this break time. From tuck shop to Book Fair, the children were very excited!

Congratulations to all of the children who had 100% attendance from Monday 13th November – Friday 17th November. The children were rewarded with a cinema afternoon and a goodie bag!

The children watched ‘Despicable Me 3’ and tucked into their crisps, juice and chocolate!

A big thank you to Mrs Thompson for arranging all of the Attend to Achieve initiatives in school.

Throughout the duration of last week, parents from Year 1 were invited into school, to observe their child’s Phonics lesson. This turned out to be a great success, allowing parents to get involved and learn ways to help their children at home.

Here is some of the wonderful feedback from the lessons:

A big thank you to Mrs Barker, Mrs Hasan and all of the parents.

Stanhope Primary School raised a grand total of £400.00 for Children In Need 2017.

A big thank you to Mrs Curtin and Mrs Peel for the biscuits and cakes and to all of the children and parents/carers for their donations. All money raised will be sent to the Children In Need charity.

Children have been purchasing raffle tickets all week to be entered into the Pudsey Bear raffle.

The winners are…..

Children have had a wonderful day supporting this worthy cause! The cake and biscuit sale was a great success. Please check the website early next week for an update of the total amount raised for Children In Need 2017. Thank you once again to parents/carers, school staff, the school cook and to all of the children, for all of your kind donations and taking part.

Some of our pupils over the Autumn Half Term continued their work with Mrs Woods and the EMTRAS team in school.

They entered a writing competition and we had great success: Vana (Y2) was awarded 1st place – a book and £10 voucher to spend! Well done to all 5 children.

The annual Book fair will take place on:

Monday 20th November 2017 – Friday 24th November 2017.

Children will visit the Book Fair with their class teacher during school hours, enabling them to browse the selection and purchase books if they wish. Children are able to bring money into school to purchase books OR the Book Fair is open to parents from 3.20pm every night during Book Fair Week. Parents are able to come and buy books for their children or alternatively they could be great Christmas presents for family members or friends.

If you have any questions relation to Book Fair Week, please contact Miss Capon in the school office.

Stanhope Primary School are again supporting

Children In Need on:

Friday 17th November 2017! 

We would like to raise as much money as possible, therefore we are holding a non uniform day (wear something spotty), a cake and biscuit sale and a Pudsey Bear raffle. All proceeds will go to the Children In Need Charity.

Thank you to parents/carers in advance for your kind donations.

On Friday 10th November, Year 2 and Year 6 visited the West Park to participate in their own Remembrance service. Earlier in the week, a few members of Year 6 created a wreath of poppies to honour all of the soldiers who lost their life serving for our country.

At the park, the children discussed the meaning of Remembrance, listened to poems (read by Miss Haygarth and Mrs Wann) and participated in a two minutes silence.
