Gt Waldingfield CEVC Primary School

Welcome to our school.

On 17th July we held our Summer Fair jointly with the church.

The Friends of the School worked so hard all day.

Here are some photographs.

Together we raised over £1,700. Amazing!

Thank you, everyone who supported them.

Young and old alike enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.

June 19th was Father's Day.

We had a special afternoon of Haka Dance workshops for our dads or grandads.

We had a fish and chip lunch together too.

May 13th 2010 was Grandparent's Day.

One granddad had a photo of his father who was a Rag and Bone Man!

Grandparents came for school dinner and stayed all afternoon to share their memories with us all.

Here are two Eco-Warriors giving Pip a chance to explore the crocuses!

Here are some photographs to give you an insight

into some things we do. Here we are on Pyjama Day when

we raised money for Unicef.

Last December we recreated the First Christmas. Here we are all dressed and ready to go!

Outside we found a real donkey and we walked with Mary and Joseph as they tried to find somewhere warm where their baby could be born. At last we found a stable behind the Star Inn near the church.

These photographs show our new friends from Ranelagh School in Ipswich.

They came to visit us for a day to see a country school.

We also have our own hens; Pip and Snow-white.We always need kind families to 'chicken-sit' at weekends!

Autumn Term 2010.

Children back on Thursday 2nd September.

Welcome to all the new children starting on this day.

We will run Cheerleaders Club and Football Club.

We may also run a cookery and a drama club if there's enough interest.

Guitar or Ukelele tuition will be available at Tuesday lunch times too.

There will be a Harvest Festival in the church on 4th October.

22nd October and 1st November are both Teacher Training Days. The school will be closed to children.

If Parents would like to know the school dinner menu please go to www.myschoollunch.co.uk/suffolk

for the three week choices.

Mrs Edwards doesn't offer the vegetarian option but does offer baguettes instead!

We have a partner school:The Community School in Bulaga,(Uganda)

The children there collect firewood and help with the cooking at home, some children get burned if they aren't careful.

They use three stone open fires.

They eat Matooke, Cassava and Sweet potatoes mainly.

There are 102 children in the school, aged from 3 to 12.

They too keep chickens - but they also keep pigs!

The children in Rowans Class send emails to their friends in Uganda.
