WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Friday 11th December 2009
We all really enjoyed doing the play! Everyone had a part except for one person who was on holiday at that time. If you missed it you can buy a film of our play and the Key Stage 1’s play, The Shiniest Star that will be on sale soon! And a BIG thank you to julia Walshaw who had the idea of Wind In The Willows! I hope everyone who seen it enjoyed it too! And thank you for coming, everyone who came! My favourite character was obviously Toad(Who was played by Gabriel (Act one) and Jasper (Act two)).
Once again, I hope you enjoyed it!
- Work continues on our class vegetable plots to provide food for our vegetable stalls. Last term we raised money for Seeds for Africa, as well as some money to buy new seeds and equipment for our garden. Many thanks to all those who shopped at our stall or brought in extra produce for us to sell.
Report on vegetable garden news by Abi – Year 6
Last year ( 2009 ) our class ( year 4,5 and 6 ) grew some fruit and veg like we do every year. This year was a bit different though, we decided to sell our food we had grown. We sold our food produce at Bealings School Harvest Festival, Friday the 23rd of October. In order to get together and sell our food we separated off into different groups, and we sent out questionares to the parents, to see which fruit and veg they liked best and other questions. Each group did the questionares for one year group only. Ater we had got the results back we looked though them . The most popular foods were Potatoes, Carrots, Onions and Brocilli. With this information we put it into a graph in our groups. Further through the lessons we started to look at seeds we had and could use, then put the imformation into a spead sheet, with all the months in. Then we chose the vegtables we were going to to grow and wrote them in. Luckily for us earlier that year our school had brought a polly tunnel to go in our school field. So we could grow food that needs more heat. After that we decied to give 71% of the money to a company that helps people in Africa to have more seeds so they can have new things that we get and they normally can’t , called Seeds for Africa. Eventally we raised £66.84 and gave £47.46 to Seeds for Africa. Our last total score was £29.65. That money will help us next year so we can buy some more seeds and have another store and help Seeds for Africa again.
- This term we are cooking recipes that use vegetables that we will later be growing in the vegetable plots. First of all – pizza! Made with homemade dough and sauce.

Report on music news by Patrick, Y6
Our class is a highly experienced class in music.
We have three music teachers called Mr Mike Hynes (guitar), Mr Alan Pitt (clarinet) and Miss Julia Walshaw (violin).
We divide our guitar groups in to two groups : year 5 and year 6. Most of the year fives are new to guitar and have been learning for four months and are doing very well. The year sixes have been playing for on and a half years.
On the seventeenth of December the guitarists, clarinetists and the violinists did a concert. The guitarists played Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, the clarinetists played Jingle Bells and me and my friend Gabriel played a tune called Keep Trucking and the violinists played We Wish You A Merry Christmas.
