Year 6 Enterprise Project

The children in Year 6 would like to thank you for your support as they carried out their Enterprise Project. They really enjoyed setting up their own mini businesses, buying produce and creating a healthy snack to sell. Each group was initially given £5 by Mrs Corr to set up their business and after paying their £5 back, the class made a total profit of £82.70 which they have decided to spend on a bench for children to enjoy for years to come at All Saints.

I am pleased to announce that our new Head Girl is Izzy - Ella Boddington and our Head boy is Zane Cooper, congratulations to them both.

Meera, Sid and I were so impressed with the other candidates that we have created some new roles for September. George Gibson and Sasha Chandler will be our Head Prefects. Curtis Stewart Rose will be our Community Project Leader. Paul Amisu will be our Anti Bullying Champion. Ayesha Jaffrey will be our lunchtime Leader and Isobel Pilkington will be our Collective Worship Leader. These children were just brilliant throughout the process and consistently show our values in everything that they do.

Head Boy and Girl Interviews

Sid, Meera (our current Head Boy and Girl) and I were so impressed this week with the Year 5 children who were interviewed for the posts of Head Girl and Boy for next year. It was a very difficult decision to shortlist to  3 boys and 3 girls to go forward to the presentation which will be in assembly on Thursday 27th June. Once the presentations have been delivered the election campaign then starts until the vote which is held on Wednesday 10th July. I was so proud of all of the children involved as the whole of year 5 celebrated the successes but supported those who were disappointed, it was so lovely to see the class working as such a close team. I would like to thank those who were brave enough to put themselves forward and good luck to the six children who have moved forward.

..................................................................................................................................

GOLF  TOURNAMENT

On Monday a group of Year 3 and 4 children attended a golf tournament with Mr Wintle and out of 10 schools came 3rd, again a brilliant achievement. All of the children set such a good example to the others that attended showing a competitive side but a supportive one.

Visit from Peter Bone, Wellingborough's  MP!!

Last Friday we were very fortunate to have Peter Bone, the MP for Wellingborough spend the afternoon with our Year 5 and 6 children. As you all know we have been learning about the environment this term and the children had written accounts posing the arguments for and against Wind Farms. Mr Bone had previously been interviewed by the BBC presenting a negative viewpoint of wind farms. A brilliant debate was had by the childrrenand they asked some very challenging questions.

On Friday the 7th June, Peter Bone came to visit our Year 5 and 6 children. Peter Bone is the Wellingborough Member of Parliament and British Conservative Party Politician. He spoke to them about his perspective on Wind Turbines and what encouraged him to become an MP. He talked about how he'd rather Wind Turbines were at sea where no one could see them and where they wouldn't ruin the beautiful countryside.The children asked some very intimidating questions that challenged Peter Bone, as well as every child that spoke had to say Mr Speaker stand up. The children enjoyed many things including:

• Peter Bone giving honest opinions
• The fact that Peter Bone spoke about Teresa May and whether she should have resigned.
• That they could vote if they like wind turbines or not.

Peter Bone even commented on how impressed he was with the children's questions, enthusiasm, confidence and most importantly their behaviour and said that it was a pleasure to meet us.

ROCK  UK

Our year 3 and 4 children left last Wednesday for a three day residential at Rock UK. I visited last night and what an incredible time they had. Residentials are something that children always remember and they are an opportunity not to be missed. Not only do the children have the chance to experience activities they have never tried before they learn so many life skills connected to being away from home.

       A big thank you to the staff members who have given up their own time Mr Hunter, Ms Chester and Mr Chambers, without staff volunteering and parents being prepared to support financially we wouldnt be able to run these trips which are so invaluble and create memories which last a lifetime. Next year I will be leading the group of year 5 and 6 children that will have the opportunity to go to the Isle of Wight.

......................................................................................................................................

Judaism 

On Tuesday we had a visitor who led a morning themed around Judasim. It is very important part of life at All Saints that we share a knowledge and therefore understanding of other faiths. We as a school believe it is vital that we support children in respecting those who have a different faith to Christianity. The children all had the opportunity to participate in a workshop which was age appropriate.

......................................................................................................................................

The Book Trust are hoping to give every child a bedtime story. This is why they are having a Pyjamarama event on Friday 7th June.

We would like to show our support for this by inviting all of the children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 to come to school on Friday 7th June in their pyjamas. However insead of requesting a donation of £1, we would like each child to bring in their favourite bedtime story to share with their friends.

Please make sure their books are named and they still have appropriate footwear (eg: school shoes, trainers, no open toe sandles)

As a way to celebrate the end of the year we are inviting our Year 6s (and their parents) to join us for the first ever Tri Saints Tournament. Three events, three different days and three teams (pupils, staff and parents).

The tournament will consist of three events: rounders, netball and wacky races (such as wheelbarrow and three-legged races) which will take place on the following dates straight after school, starting at 3.30pm.

All children and parents are welcome to the Rounders and Wacky Races, however we would like to prioritise all of the year 6s who have regularly attended the Friday netball club with Miss Cheetham and Mr Chambers to attend the Netball event to show off their skills!

Fabulous Finish Friday!

What a fabulous end to the week with beautiful weather and FFF this morning. It was lovely to see so many of you participating in "fun" activities with the children. I was so pleased to see so many of you and I know the children love showing you all what they are learning.

................................................................................................................................

ALL SAINTS   SPORTS  DAY

Sports Day was a brilliant, fun, action packed day which was organised so well by Mr Chambers. I think it is so important that children all have the opportunity to participate in sporting activities and then to have some competitive element which was seen in the classroom. It is vital that children know how to manage when they dont win and how to celebrate others successes. Again thank you to all of you who took the time to enjoy the day and support all of the children.

'SEND A COW'   CHARITY DAY

Today the children came into school in Black and White Mufti clothes to support Einstein's charity day:  'Send a Cow'.They were also able to make a cow, using a 1 pint milk bottle. They could put their spare change in it (which presented us with extra money for the charity)

We were lucky enough to have a visitor - Sandra Herbert - who supports Send a Cow and lives on a farm in Leicestershire. She explained to us why her charity is important and how a small amount of money could hugely benefit a new generation. 

The 'Send a Cow' charity is a charity which has been establised for over 30 years, they have transformed the lives of 2 million people in Africa. They focus on farming and families, resultng in confident people in control of their own land and of their own futures. 

In the afternoon the children created posters, poems and fact files to promote the charity. Overall, it was a brilliant day that helped save lives.

What a fantastic charity to be supporting, well done Enstein.
