Guys and Dolls

Ladies and gentleman........

Chellaston Junior School Drama and Choir clubs are proud to present Guys and Dolls Junior!

We have been slaving away at rehearsals since September, and now there is just over a week until our opening. Let me tell you......it is going to be a fantastic show.

Well done to all of the year 5 and 6 children who have been involved in this production. Their commitment has been great. All we need to do now is to add a few finishing touches to it, and we're ready for curtain up. Thank you especially to parents who have helped to get children to rehearsals and sort out costumes. Special thanks goes to Miss Smith, Mrs Macdonald and Ms Savidge for their help and support at rehearsals, to Mrs Slack for organising the programmes and tickets, Mrs Royston-Webb for co-ordinating costumes and props, and to Mr Bemrose and Mr Mr Macdonald for their fabulous efforts with the scenery.

BREAK A LEG EVERYONE!

SKIPPING CHALLENGE

Following the skipping workshop that visited school, 160 children have signed up to take part in an in-school skipping challenge. The children have been divided into eight teams and will skip for 5 minutes each week. There will be awards to boy/girl in each year that have skipped the most and also to the winning team!
Hopefully we will have some very fit children at the end of it!

Action Aid Coffee Morning

Thanks to those that came to the Coffee Morning and special thanks to Mrs Brady for donating the Fairtrade Hamper. It was won by Mrs Savidge - Ticket no 152.

Road Safety Quiz Final

Last Thursday, eight of our children took part in the Road Safety Quiz Final organised by Derby City Council Road Safety Team. The whole school took part in an earlier round and Chellaston Junior School came in the top four.

The children did really well and obviously knew all about Road Safety. After a couple close rounds we finally came joint second with Oakwood Junior School coming first. The children were awarded a goody bag and the school were given a certificate. It was a lovely evening with refreshments and a Magic Show.

Special thanks to Alice, Rhys, Emily, Daniel, Tianna, Eliot, Daisy and Harry for a really good effort and also to parents for taking their children to the event.

Goodbye and good luck!

Today we said goodbye and good luck to our ICT Technician, Sarah Humphreys. Sarah has been with us almost 5 years and I can't begin to imagine how many new aspects of ICT she's been involved with during that time (even this week she was in Cromford class demonstrating the new Qwizdom devices). We're indebted to her for sharing her vast knowledge of all things technical and staff and pupils will miss her enormously. Recently Sarah's been sharing the joys of the school's intranet and website with me and I've learnt even more aspects of how technology can be used to share information in a collaborative and learning environment.
Thanks for all your hard work, enthusiasm and support, Sarah. Good luck for the future!
