From the Headteacher

 

Star Work:  Congratulations to our Star Workers of this week:  Georgie Cullen, Zara Adams, Molly Barton, Maria Walton, Callum Thorner, Robert Holmes and Kai Davis.   Their work is on display in pride of place in the centre of the school.

 

Cross Country:   Congratulations to our Cross County teams.   I understand the conditions at Edgarley were challenging but fun.   We shall find out how our runners were positioned during Friday assembly but a big ‘thank you’ to the children who represented the school in this way.

 

Jamaican Tuck Shop:   The tuck shop this week was a big success and raised £8.70 for our school’s adopted charity.   In addition, we have added the money raised by selling cakes made on Maths Problem Solving Day.   This means we will be sending a cheque for £15.00 to CLIC.

 

New on the Website:   If you visit www.staldhelms.co.uk you will find information about and photographs of our Year 3, 4 and 5 Brass Project, a piece on the Year 6 Wire Sculpture workshop with artist Fiona Robson, diary dates for March and the school calendar for the next school year.   In our International section you can read about the recent Jamaican storyteller visit and find out about our partner school in Germany.   The website is also a source of information for the school menu, past and present newsletters, and copies of letters to parents.
