Very impressed with this Blog. Very useful to have a list of letters etc that have been sent out - easy to make sure things have come home. Hope other parents log on to see what is going on.
Welcome Angela and thanks for the message. Glad you found the list useful and I'll continue to provide an update on a weekly basis.
Is it school policy for children riding bikes to school to wear bike helmets?
Hi Michelle. Great to see you here! Welcome to the blog and thanks for your comments.
I understand what you're saying about the volume of letters going out (some of them don't even make it beyond the school gate - but that's another story!). Wherever possible I do try and collate 'newsie' items for the Buzz but sometimes the information is for an individual year group or from external people (such as Central Soccer Schools etc.) We're now offering such an extensive range of activities that letters do seem to be going out daily at the moment. I think it should settle down a bit now that most extra-curricular clubs and activities are sorted out. If it doesn't then maybe I'll have to have a re-think.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Is sports day cancelled for this year with all the unseasonal rain?!
Sadly,yes. We always plan an alternative sports day in case the first one has to be cancelled. Unfortunately, this year, the second date also fell foul of the awful weather. Let's hope the weather picks up in time for the summer holidays!
The weather didn't pick up for the summer holidays but now that the children are back at school, the weather has improved!
My memory of Chellaston Junior School.
Headmaster, Mr Francis, wore a checked country suit, big featured, blonde/white hair and wearing button hole; lived in school house, which was in the playground with Mrs Francis, she gave us sweets at playtime. Teachers, Miss Kempster, grey haired in bun, grandson living in London, Miss Walton, Music teacher, insisted on practical demonstration of music scales, doe, ray, me, in her classroom on day of earth tremor, plaster fell
A Return journey of a memory of Chellaston Junior School.
Headmaster, Mr Francis, checked country suit, button holed, big featured, blonde/white hair. His home the playground school house and playtime sweets from Mrs Francis.
Teachers, Miss Kempster, grey haired in bun, boasting her grandson Timothy lived in London, Miss Walton, Music teacher, insisted on practical demonstration of music scales to embarrassed pupil,doe, ray, me,fah,soh (extinguished), on day of earth tremor, plaster fell from classroom ceiling onto my head. Miss Honey, grey haired supply teacher, "I am 73 years of age".
Chellaston School,Victorian red bricked, high windowed, dark inside, bricked internal walls painted Up the road, the Manor House and the Ford girls,behind school, the Jane Austen image of Vicar Rice, black robed flowing, escorting his pigtailed daughter Jane to school across the field where we would snowboard in the winter.
Morning journey to school, (keep an eye out for Mr Patterson , village Bobby)!from the land of Twigg the village ralway master and his village railway station,the bottom of Station Road, near Colliers farm over the bridge and adjacent to Palmers Farm behind the Red Lion pub. Pass the village green, pass Crockers Yard on the left and to the left of that the corner petrol station, Barrs sweetshop, Evertons groceries and Goodwins the butcher; to my right the little terrace shop of Bulmers the newsagent (later moved across the road) escorted across the main road by Mr Young the lollipop man, retired postman. On the corner the Co-op store and then up the coach-styled double kerb high street, past Walkers Farm on the left with the lanky figure of Walker himself leaning against the tall gatepost, pass the tree commemorating Queen Victoria at the road fork and then to the left - journeys end. Fantastic!
