Free sanitary products will be available at all times.

You are welcome to come in and browse at any time, taking what you need for your child.

Donations of clothing (footwear, outdoor jackets or trousers, school uniform) are welcome and can be sent in with your child – please pop a note into the diary so that we know they are for the Uniform Exchange. Our pupils are aged 3 – 18, so all sizes are welcome including adult sizes.

Let’s help ourselves by saving money and passing on clothes that our children have outgrown, and help the environment too by re-using good clothing.

Spring Art in Room 9

By Amy Dunnett 20th May 2019 20th May 2019 Expressive Arts, News, Outdoor Learning, Primary, Room 9

Room 9 pupils appreciate our natural world.

They have observed Spring daffodils growing and produced these wonderful paintings depicting our class’s daffodils.

We have all looked at the paintings and commented on them. We all agree they are fabulous pieces of art.

Room 9’s Beautiful Vases

By Amy Dunnett 16th April 2019 16th April 2019 Eco Group, Expressive Arts, Primary, Room 9

The pupils in Room 9 recycled plastic bottles and made beautiful, colourful vases which can be used for holding flowers. Our pupils selected the colours they wanted to use and made choices about how to paste the cellophane onto the bottles. In doing so, the boys and girls were reinforcing the skills they developed previously when they made their Elmer the Elephant models. They commented on their work and were encouraged to comment on each other’s vases when they were on display in our classroom.
