• Sign Language Show from Hands

  Wed 18 Apr 2018 FRJS
  For the last 10 weeks a group of Y3 pupils have been busy learning British Sign Language with Ian Duncan and a team from the 'Hands' Project. The children have learnt how to sign their names, animals, colours, feelings and three favourite songs. On Tuesday they performed to an appreciative audience of parents and Y3 pupils and staff and shared what they had learnt. 

  They all did incredibly well and had a great time. We are really proud of all of them for what they have achieved. Thank you to Ian and the team for giving our children such a fantastic opportunity.

  

• A Day for Debra

  Sat 14 Apr 2018 FRJS

  We had a great day raising money for Mr Antell's London Marathon charity, Debra which works hard to help children who suffer from the skin disorder called EB.

   

  Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a group of genetic skin conditions which cause the skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch.

  Those born with EB have skin so fragile they are called 'butterfly children' – their skin is quite simply as fragile as the wing of a butterfly.

  Painful open wounds and sores form where this exceptionally fragile skin is damaged – in some cases, internal linings and organs are also affected.

   

  The children wore 'scruffy' uniform in ways to annoy Mr Antell, who loves neat and tidy uniform! The children also paid to 'stick' Mr Antell to the playground wall with gaffer tape. They did such a good job that when he the box he was standing on was pulled away, he was left dangling in the air!

   

  The day raised about £800 and the children also now have a really good understanding of this disease.

   

  A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this day a big success.

   

  

• Visit to Y5 from Presfield High School Pupils

  Wed 11 Apr 2018 Mrs Finch
  Our Year 5 classes were delighted to welcome two 6th form students from Presfield High School who came to talk about autism and what it means to them. They gave us a very interesting talk and answered lots of questions as well. They were very good presenters and were friendly and informative and we learned a lot about autism. Thank you for coming to speak to us.
