• Craft Club

  Fri 11 Mar 2016 MCL
  We have seen some wonderful talent and creativity in Craft Club. The children have been busy decorating pots in which they planted Spring bulbs. They have also done some sewing and sticking to decorate Easter felt figures.

  

• World Book Day

  Mon 07 Mar 2016
  We had a great time celebrating World Book Day and the children took part in a variety of different activities. We welcomed many friends and family members to a before school Reading café, where they were able to share books with one another, as well as having a cuppa and a slice of toast! Several children visited Nabarro Court and enjoyed sharing some favourite books, while others read to pupils at Manor Park.

  

• NSPCC ChildLine Assembly

  Tue 16 Feb 2016

  We were pleased to welcome a guest from the NSPCC to talk to the Year 5 and 6 children about the ChildLine support services - both phone and online. She talked to them about their right to feel safe and that if they are worried about anything - it could be something big or something small - they shouldn't  bottle it up. It can really help to talk to someone whether that be a family member, friend, staff at school or ChildLine. The children are looking forward to taking part in workshops in the near future. 

  

• Valentine Lunch

  Sun 14 Feb 2016

  On Thursday 11th February, we were delighted to welcome family and friends of the children to join us for our ‘Bring someone you care about to lunch’ meal . The children had invited someone special to come along to school and enjoy eating together. The hall and tables were decorated 'Valentine's Day style' with balloons and bunting, as well as colouring and quizzes for the children and their guests to complete. We hope this will be the first of many shared events.

  We strongly encourage the development of a love of reading at Sir John Sherbrooke. In order to further this, each class is working on creating  a special reading area.

  

• Broadmarsh Centre Choir Performance

  Tue 29 Dec 2015
  Our choir had the opportunity to sing once again - this time at the Broadmarsh  shopping centre in Nottingham. After travelling by coach they went on stage to give a wonderful performance of a variety of traditional and contemporary Christmas songs. They were given a very warm welcome by staff from the centre, family, friends and shoppers!

  

• Our Wonderful Choir

  Sun 20 Dec 2015
  The choir (with Mrs Cookson) have worked extremely hard this term and have  made a huge impression when they have performed. They sang in St Wilfrid's Square, where family, friends and shoppers gave tremendous support and shortly afterwards they headed to Springwater Lodge Care Home to perform again! We are always made to feel very welcome and, after singing their hearts out, they enjoyed chatting to a few staff members and residents and were treated to juice and sweets before heading back to school. Congratulations to them and thank you to all who supported them.

• Musical Treat!

  Fri 04 Dec 2015
  The whole school was treated to an afternoon of music by Tony, a percussionist, who was accompanied by his wife Pam. Several children got the chance to have a go themselves using a variety of percussion instruments. One pupil had the exciting job of being James Bond. Tony did sound effects while 'James Bond' went on a mini adventure - including hanging off a helicopter and driving a Bond car!
