Click here to listen to our 6th SCPS Radio broadcast. This broadcast contains some of the bloopers that the children involved in SCPS Radio have made since their first ever broadcast.
Scott and Daniel from Year 4/5 joined the SCPS Radio team recently as producers. Along with Shannon, Katie, Emily, Hollie and Freya from Year 4, they are responsible for recording and producing internet and live shows.
On Thursday June 25th Kites, Year One and Year Two set off with their teddies on an expedition to Old Copse and Bishopswood fields. We were joined there by our friends from Bishopswood nursery.
When we arrived we had fun with our teddies on the field and then we had our fruit snacks. Afterwards we watched the teddy parade and then set off through the woods to return to school in time for our picnic.
Mrs Wise had made special picnic lunches for all of the children who have school lunches.
After lunch Kites enjoyed a teddy story time in the library with Mrs Dunstan and then Mrs Tyldesley led bearobics sessions for each year group.
Our bears needed a well earned rest after that.
The object of the day is to have lots of fun as well as raising money for Action Research. When we have a total for this we will let you know. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the day a success especially the parents who walked with us, Mrs Wise, Mrs Sadler, Mrs Butler and Mrs Harmsworth, Mrs Dunstan and Mrs Tyldesley.
As we’re sure you know, this week is going to be mega-hot. During this heat wave we advise that all children bring sun hats and full water bottles to school and that they wear sunscreen to protect themselves from harmful rays.

On Tuesday, children from Kites spent the afternoon with Year 6. With the help of the Year 6s, Kites decorated their own bear masks with tissue paper, felt and colouring pens. Wearing their personalised masks, they then embarked on a very exciting bear hunt around the school grounds. When all the bears had been found, the children finished the afternoon off with bear stories in the amphitheatre. It was a really lovely afternoon. Despite being apprehensive at first, the Kites had a great time all thanks to the Year 6 children who were so kind and patient with them.

As from September 2009 Mrs Hems will be working 3 days as the SEN/Inclusion manager.

A big congratulations to the Butterflies for winning this year’s sports day by a massive 40 points. Well done to all of the other houses that took part in the competition - every child tried their hardest and represented their house well.
Thank you to Miss Winton for organising the day and to all of the parents who turned up to support their children.
On Tuesday afternoon 32 children (8 from each Key Stage 2 year group) won the annual Chiltern Edge Athletics competition for the second year in a row! All the children were absolutely brilliant and a credit to the school. I was particularly impressed by their teamwork in the year group relays - they won all four! A big thank you to all of the parents who supported us at this event - I hope you have your voices back now!
Miss Winton
