Summer Fair June 2016

Once again, Jessop Primary School beat the weather at our Summer Fair; we ate, drank, played games, hooked some ducks and scored some goals. Our ears rejoiced at the harmonic music played by the school band. Smiles could be seen by everyone who attended. This year there were a number of exciting games and activities including a Bouncy slide, Bouncy Castle, Face Painting, Guess the weight of the cake, Tattoo transfers, Hook the Ducks and many more. Let’s not forget the magician there to put a smile on all our faces! Hot dogs, burgers and fruit were extremely popular. This could not have been possible without the support from all our wonderful parent volunteers and everyone who came to join in the fun.

We are still counting up all the money that was raised which will be used to support school trips, playground equipment and hi-visibility vests. If you would like to suggest ways in which the school could allocate this money remember to attend the Parent Forum or our next coffee morning on Friday 1^st July 2016 .Thank you to everyone who attended and especially those parents and carers who supported with the setting up and clearing away. In addition to this, many of the parents and carers baked cakes, samosas and rice, donated bric-a-brac and ran their own stall. If you would like to be part of the running of our next fair then please do not hesitate in attending our meetings on the run up to the Winter Fair.

Special Guest - 'Black Violin' 8th June 2016

Wednesday morning can only be described as special. Our school community was treated to an up lifting experience from the internationally renowned Classical Hip Hop duo ‘Black Violin’. The skill of both performers was astounding and the performances were mesmerising. All were lost for words other than our insightful pupils who asked poignant questions during a question and answer session.

5 Lucky instrumentalists of our own were later able to partake in a workshop led by the 2 violinists. Accompanied by the professionals, the pupils delivered a mini concert, an experience that will be remembered by all who were lucky enough to be there.

Money Week - 6th June to 10th June 2016

During Money Week pupils developed their understanding of the role that money plays in our lives. Classes worked together to consider ways of generating profit and pupils cleverly applied their wits to individually earn themselves different amounts of play money. Much of the profit that children have raised this week will go towards resources that will enhance the pupil’s learning experiences. It has been a memorable experience for all and we look forward to the next one!
