Eisteddfod

On Friday we celebrated a belated St David’s Day (should be March 1st) with an Eisteddfod.  This went remarkably well, the children and parents who attended enjoyed the morning.  Congratulations to the Blue team (St Andrews) for winning the competition.  And to the Green team for winning the house song.  My apologies for announcing the wrong overall winner at the end of the morning…. I was rather distracted by the sound of one of our children fainting – the excitement of winning!

School Business Manager

Congratulations to Mrs Littlewood on achieving the certificate in school business management.

HLTA

Congratulations to Mrs East and Mrs Stokes on successfully achieving the HLTA status (Higher Level Teaching Assistant).  After Easter, both Mrs East and Mrs Stokes will use their many years of experience, skill and proven ability to cover classes in the afternoons to release teachers to Plan, Prepare and Assess lessons. This is called PPA time, a statutory right of all teachers in the country since 1995 to 10% non teaching time.

Valentines Cake Sale

Thanks to Mrs East who made a magnificent cake which was raffled at the cake sale.  Well done to Miss Richardson who won the raffle.

Thanks to the PTA members for organising another successful cake sale and for all who gave up time to come in and help with setting up and running the stalls.  We raised £195.78.

SHEEP Week

The week beginning 28th January was SHEEP week at St Philips.  Each day of the week was dedicated to the 5 outcomes: Safety, Healthy, Enjoyment, Economic awareness & Positive contribution.  Children circulated around the classes and had visitors to help the children engage in each of these aspects. Lots of fun was had by all.  We intend to have more themed weeks like this.

Christmas Service 2007

What a fantastic event!  The children  were fantastic as they led us through the story of the birth of Jesus The Saviour.  The songs, dances and prayers were  presented by the best kids (and staff) on the planet. 

We raised £122.41 for the church Golden Jubilee Fund.  Thanks to all who contributed.

Santa Visits St Philips

The children had a surprise visit from Santa during the Infant and Junior Discos.  The disco was in aid of CLIC, we raised £247.85.

Year 6 Visit Culverhay for a Technology Day

The children from Year 6 visited Culverhay Secondary school and used their technology facilities to make bridges and solder circuits to make flashing LED models.

Busking

We endured the foul weather and spent an hour singing in Bath town centre to raise money for CLIC.  As a school we have benefited from CLICs services and we thought we would like to do something in return.

Police Security Code Bikes and Scooters

The Police kindly came in to school to security code our bikes and scooters. Children also received information and stickers. For those who forgot or for those who may get a bike or scooter for Christmas, we will be doing this again in the New Year.
