The children had an enjoyable afternoon travelling from class to class – each had been set up to represent a different country. 

You raised over £800 in support of computers for Ja Little Home Nursery School in Kenya and also received £500 from North Somerset for PE equipment and coaching for taking part. Thank you!

Congratulations to Mrs Hardy and some of Class 7 (2007/08) whose shortlisted film “The Titanic Disaster” was awarded third place in the Reception/Key Stage 1 category at the “NOSCARS 2008” film festival this week.

The festival is organised annually by the North Somerset Council ICT Strategy Team to promote creativity, communication, teamwork, planning, problem solving and critical thinking, and the theme for this year was “2 Minute History”.

• The Explorer Dome – every class will have the chance to enter a special dome and be stunned by a workshop on space full of light and sound. A big thank you to YISA for funding this.
• Insects and other beasties! Cadbury Garden Centre are bringing a selection of their animals for show Reception and Year 1 children.
• Recycling Workshops for Year 1 and a special assembly for the whole school.
• Class Science Swaps! Children will swap teachers and classrooms to experience all kind of exciting workshops from electrical balloons to optical illusions!

The Centre will be a real benefit to local communities of Yatton, Congresbury, and the surrounding area. It will benefit our schools in many ways, and we plan to organise some events for parents of both Yatton Schools in the New Year to provide you with more information on this project.

When: Saturday 3 November – Gates open at 18:00
Where: Hangstones
Tickets: £2.00 for a single or £6.00 for a family ticket in advance (available from ‘Clives’ or the Post Office). Prices on the night will be £5.00 for a single and £10.00 for a family.

Well done to all!!

Fingers crossed, the weather looks set fair… at least for this afternoon.

As a celebration of this award, we are having a Healthy Schools Week starting Monday, 16th July.

We have lots of fantastic activities lined up for the children including yoga workshops, smoothie-making, sports coaching, our own sports afternoon… and lots more!

Water Bottles have been sent home with the children this week. These should be brought to school daily and will be kept on children’s desks to enable them to have a regular intake of water throughout the day.

We are setting up a trial run of a Walking Bus later on this month, and have also launched a competition for the children to creative some healthy lunchboxes. We look forward to receiving their entries!

The School Association also have some great fundraising events lined up. Don’t forget to come to see the puppet show on 19 May at 10 o’clock in the School Hall (with some tasty refreshments afterwards).

It’s not too early to get your thinking caps on for your carnival costume for the 16 June. The theme of this year’s Summer Carnival is “Book Characters”.

We look forward to seeing you all!
