Tithe Barn School

As most of you will know we have a fantastic children’s kitchen, with the children regulary using it to create some fantastic food.

We are encouraging parents to submit any vouchers they might get through the flora hearts scheme in order for us to recieve some more kitchen equipment to futher improve the area!

Have a look at the link below to find out more about the scheme, and get us higher in the rankings!!

Year 5 have 4 bits of homework to do over the holidays, I hope they survive!!

1- Take home and read a book from the class library – filling out their star readers reading records.

2- Create something from a recipe (a cake… some soup..) and write it out for the class to put in a cook book (all imperative verbs in red) i.e cut, boil, tear etc.

3 – Learn your 6 & 7 times tables, forwards backwards and inside out!!

4 – Create a mind map of what you have learnt over the first half term

Â

Have a look at some of these games to help you learn your times tables!

(I like the balloon based ‘number invaders’ using division facts… really tricky!)

This is a photo of last years Summer Fair in 2008 from the magazine ‘Animal Antics’

Jessica, Abbey, Katherine and Martha collected their own stuff from home and brought it in and sold it all!

They raised an imressive £73 for a charity called the P.D.S.A which stands for the People’s Despensary for Sick Animals. Near the end of the fair, some other Year 6 children helped by giving out posters.

Thanks for everyone who helped!

The ‘Friends of Tithe Barn Fun Run’ was held on Sunday 12 October. As always this event proved extremely popular with both the children and adults. Mr Tonge was worried this year as he hadn’t done any training for the event!

A huge thank you to Sue and Clive Edwards who always have the run under perfect control and their team of helpers.

The following children were the first across the finishing line

Rec – Rose Tomlinson / Finn Morton
Yr1 – Hannah Coyle / Luke Stanley
Yr2 – Ayesha Little / Ben Mitchell
Yr3 – Isabel Laing-Smith / Jake Stanley
Yr4 – Bridie Franey / Daniel Kennedy
Yr5 – Natasha Laing-Smith / Kane Stanley
Yr6 – Abbey Megram / Jonathan Roberts
