GOSH we love a bake sale!

By Mrs J Gowen10th February 2016

On Thursday 28th January we held a bake sale at both Countess Way and Fen Street, an event we helped Valisha in Year 6 organise to raise money for The Vasant Devchandra Sharma Brighter Future Fund in aid of Great Ormand Street Hospital Children’s Charity to help support children suffering from cancer.

This event, combined with our Christmas jumper days, has helped Valisha raise a total of £587.18!  Thank you ever so much for your support of this wonderful cause.  Well done Valisha and well done to our Year 6’s for helping on the day, you were amazing!!!

Shared Reading

By Mrs S Taylor29th January 2016

Every Thursday afternoon at 2.30 for the last two weeks there has been a very calm atmosphere at Countess Way. We have started a shared reading time across KS1 & 2 and it is a truly magical experience! All staff have offered a book to read and the children have signed up to the book they want to listen too. It has been lovely to see the excitement, high levels of engagement and children whisked off into the fictional worlds of some of our favourite authors.

This half term the books include:

The Borrowers

The Magic Finger

Danny the Campion of the World

The Magic Faraway Tree

Wind in the Willows

Fantastic Mr Fox

Here we are listening to the stories.
