A day of Goodbyes
Wed 19 Jul 2023We have had a lot of goodbyes to say today. We had a whole school celebration assembly this morning to say goodbye to Mrs Armstrong, Year 6 and Charlie.
We shared lots of memories and the children presented cards and memories to Mrs Armstrong and Charlie. The choir then sang 'Thank You For The Music' which was a surprise arranged by Mrs Challenor.
Mrs Armstrong has bought some beautiful gifts for school : Two crosses and clocks for the KS1 and KS2 corridors, and Haribo for every class. Thank you, Mrs Armstrong, you will be missed.
Goodbye and God bless Year 6 and Charlie as they move on to their new schools.

Italian Visitors
Fri 14 Jul 2023Today Year 6 hosted 26 Italian students and their 11 teachers. They have been pen-pals since last year so it was lovely for them to meet in person. Our visitors are from the Dom Milani School in a town called Moderna just outside of Milan.
Our visitors have spent the week seeing the sights of our city. They have also visited Alsop as the whole trip was arranged by Mr Peter Bull, one of our school Governors, as part of an initiative called 'For the Common Good'.
During their visit to our school, they have taken part in activities including music, art and P.E. (they won the football 3-2 but we won the cricket!). They had a visit to church and a tour of the school when every class got to meet them. After a lovely lunch, their day ended with them joining in our Celebration Assembly. Gifts were exchanged and they made beautiful recipe books in both languages. Every child contributed to the book and each recipe is a traditional recipe from their family.
We wish them a safe journey home tonight.

Y3 & 4 Sports Day
Thu 13 Jul 2023After a drizzly start to the day, we were thrilled when the sun finally started to come our so our sports day could go ahead.
All of the children did themselves proud and threw themselves into every activity.
Thank you to the Year 5 helpers, you were so encouraging. Thank you to all of the parents, grandparents and family members who came to support the event. A special thank you to all of those brave parents and grandparents who gave in to the children's pleas and took part on the adults' race - well done all of you!
Finally, a massive THANK YOU! to Mr Moran for running not one, but four sports days this year. The children had so much fun as I'm sure the adults did too,

Rock Kidz
Thu 08 Jun 2023Today school was rocking! Rock Kidz came in to talk, sing and dance about self-esteem and anti-bullying. EYFS, KS1 and Y3 had a session followed by Y4, Y5 & Y6. Following a warm-up, the children danced and sang/ screamed at the top of their voices then Rock Battles were held: children against staff.
This afternoon, the whole school came together to rock out with Mr Harrop winning the Rock Battle with some great moves!
Thank you to the PTFA for funding this brilliant day!
Remember: Be yourself, everybody else is taken!
