• Ground Force Day - Saturday 1st October

  Tue 04 Oct 2011
  I would like to say a huge thank you to those parents who were able to come and help on Saturday. It was a small band of helpers who worked incredibly hard. Mr Crawshaw coordinated the tasks and we managed to achieve most of the items on the list:

   

  Playgrounds -  fencing painted, white wall painted, quiet area fencing painted, infant wall painted.

   

  Millenium Garden – pond cleared and tidied, sleepers completed and dug over ready for flower beds, the steps by the pond reset and repaired.

   

  Front and back of school – steps painted and flower bed weeded

   

  Minibus washed and polished

   

  Thank you also to Mrs Wright for providing the refreshments and Mrs Crawshaw for providing lunch these were greatly received on what proved to be an extremely hot day.  

   

  I am sure you will agree that the school looks fantastic. When we advertise the next event it would be great if more of you could try to attend as the benefits to the children and everyone who utilises the school site are greatly enhanced through this sort of support.

  

• Family Concert: Music to our Ears!

  Wed 15 Jun 2011

  On Wednesday 15th June  the school was treated to a musical extravaganza - including performances from children, parents and past pupils! The audience was rightly impressed by the efforts of all involved - special thanks to Mrs Venvell for all her hard work in organising the event, all our peripatetic music teachers and to the parents for bravely taking part.

   

  Thanks too to Mrs Bowers for all her accompaniments on piano!

   

  A highlight of the evening was the Herath family quartet - a superb combination of guitar, flute, trombone and trumpet! The instrumental soloists were also fantastic - well done children!

   

  All in all a fantastic night was had by all!

• The Archbishop of Canterbury Visits High Wycombe Church of England School

  Fri 13 May 2011

  On Monday 9 May The Archbishop of Canterbury came to visit us 
   

  The Archbishop only had 20 minutes scheduled in for our visit so we needed to make sure that everything ran like clockwork. In that time we managed to have photographs taken, share a wonderful collective worship around the theme ‘Love God, Love your Neighbour’ which involved dancing, acting and prayers. Everybody played their part in making the visit very special, Mrs Bowers, Mrs Picken were involved in the collective worship, children from Year 6 danced, the Worship Band played the Archbishop in and out and two children from Hazlemere C of E School read prayers. Prior to the visit the children had been asked to write down in words and pictures their thoughts, comments and prayers about this theme and we put them into a book which two of our reception children were able to present to the Archbishop. Each class has a copy of the book and one has been placed in the entrance if parents would like to read it. The Archbishop then addressed the children with great ease and involved a number of the children in this. The children were evidently very comfortable in his presence. He then led a whole school blessing and, I believe reluctantly left.
  
  Below are our pictures of this very special day.

  

• Whole School Dress in Pyjamas To Raise Money for Comic Relief

  Sun 27 Mar 2011

  On Friday 18th March all staff and pupils wore their pyjamas to school to raise money for Comic Relief.

   

  It's was a day like no other when the whole country got together to do something funny for money and change countless lives in the process. Red Nose Day was our chance to help transform the lives of poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people across the UK and Africa. From restoring the sight of children in Africa to giving isolated older people in the UK the support they need to enjoy their lives – your cash can do all this and much, much more.

   

  We were amazed by the generosity of everyone involved and would like to thank you all for doing something funny for money by wearing your pyjamas to school and making a donation to this worthy cause.

   

  In total we managed to raise £315.20 for this fantastic cause.

   

  Take a look below at us enjoying our daily activities in our pyjamas.

   

  Thank you again for your support.

  

• School celebrates World Book Day in style!

  Fri 04 Mar 2011

  Yesterday the school was filled with a vast array of characters as we brought books to life! From Paddington to Pirates, Rapunzel to Rabbits, the sheer inventiveness of costumes really stood out. Throughout the day each class explored books and authors from around the world. Reception class read The Magic Paintbrush (from Japan), Year 1 read the traditional tale of Sambalele (from Brazil), and Year 3 read 'Sugarcane Rapunzel' (Africa).  Thank you very much to everyone for all your support of the day - it was such fun!

• Are We Nearly There Yet?

  Thu 09 Dec 2010
  Are We Nearly There Yet?

   

  The entire school did us proud last night in their amazing performance of our Christmas play 'Are We Nearly There Yet?' They really were all stars and all their hard work this half term paid off.
  
  A huge thank you to all the parents for their help with costumes which helped make the play look fantastic, to all the staff who helped put the production together, to the Kings Centre for the use of the venue, but most importantly well done to all the children for the superb singing, dancing, playing and acting!

  

• Christmas Fayre - another success!

  Thu 25 Nov 2010
  Last Saturday the school was transformed into a Winter Wonderland as everybody came together for our annual Christmas Fayre. Santa was visited, reindeer were raced, carols were sung, presents were wrapped, prizes were won and money was spent, raising a total of £1950 for the school!
  Many thanks to all of you who came and manned stalls, helped in the kitchen (best bacon butties ever!) or just came along to enjoy yourselves.  Thanks also to Mrs Bowers and the KS2 choir who entertained us with their beautiful singing, it was a real highlight of the day.
  Safe to say, it was a great way to start preparations for the festive season.
  
  If you would like to find out more about The Friends' Committee and the work we do, or would like to join please see Mrs Waldron, or Sam Nixon.
