Peter Beardsley's Visit to Our School

2008_04252008april0006.JPG
On Thursday 24th April, Peter Beardsley came to our school. He talked to the whole school about his life, where he grew up, the clubs he played for and all his wonderful goals! He was really nice and answered all our question. He stayed and talked for 45 minutes and at the end signed all our shirts, photographs and even teddy bears! He left us all a autographed programme and we were all really pleased he came to our school. Thanks Peter!

Chick Watch Update

This is the last chance to see the chicks as they go to their home at Bill Quay Farm tomorrow. We are delighted that five of the eleven chicks hatched succesfully, and we've all thoroughly enjoyed having the chicks in our school.
We will be sad to see them go.

Chick Watch Update

Last night another three chicks hatched... And we've pulled another three names from the tin. The new chicks are called Cecilia, chosen by Mandy. Amy, chosen by Madison and Tweetie Pie, chosen by Sophie.
We have moved the chicks from the other eggs and put them into the Brooder Box, which has a light bulb, water tank and food for the chicks.
Welcome to St Philip's Cecilia, Tweetie Pie and Amy!

Roger and Albert!

This morning at school the first chick hatched. All of the children put names in a tin ready for the first chick to be born. When the chick hatched the name I chose, which was Roger, was pulled out. Another chick hatched later on and he was named Albert by Connor in Year 5. Welcome to St Philip Neri Roger and Albert!!!

INDUSTRIAL ACTION 28th March

It is clear that there may be widespread disruption of public services due to the industrial action taking place on Tuesday. Many of the services which schools rely on both within the school and from outside will be unavailable. For reasons of health and safety and the general welfare of the children it has been decided that the school should be closed for that day. A final note will be issued to parents on Monday to confirm that the closure is to take place.
If the action is cancelled, pupils will be expected to attend school on Tuesday as normal.
Parents with any concerns or queries should contact the school.

Writer of the Week 3rd February

Laura Pritchard in Class Four has become St Philip's first ever Writer Of the Week, or 'WOW' for short. Despite stiff competition from her class Laura managed to produce a fantastic biography of Queen Elizabeth II. Her work was clear and really well organised. She read it out at our weekly assembly and received a small prize of a pack of pens which could come in very handy in the future if she continues to develop her writing skills. Second place was taken by Jessica Cole, closely followed by Molly Quinn in third.

Well done to all our writers.

NORTHERN KITES

Did you know that St. Philip's School has its own 'kite'?

Last year twenty Red Kites, magnificent birds of prey, were released into the wild along the Derwent Valley. One of those, number 15, was adopted on behalf of St Philip Neri School. A further forty birds have now been released with more than 50 schools supporting the project.

Unfortunately number 15 has not been given a name yet. If you would like to know more about Red Kites and the Northern Kite Project visit the special website and then perhaps you could suggest a suitable name for our own kite.

ST. PHILIP NERI SCHOOL ON-LINE

It is hard to believe that we have progressed so much in such a short time. This web site, or should I use its proper title web-log, could prove to be one of the most useful and most attractive assets of our school. It is really only limited by our imagination and the time we have available. We must remember however, that it will only be useful if the information is relevant and up-to-date. We will do our best to ensure that all the latest news and school developments are shown as soon as possible. We hope you enjoy looking at our school. We hope 'Friends of the School' will appreciate this marvellous view of the school and will revisit the weblog on a regular basis.
