Events

As an end to the Book week activities we have a visit to school today from Pendle Productions.  They put on a show for the whole school – The Dragon who Lost his Home.  All the children were spellbound and thoroughly enjoyed the show.

As part of our Book Week Activities on the theme of ‘Flight’,  we had a visit from Falconry UK.  Jason showed the pupils some amazing birds and gave them many interesting facts about them.  Some children (and staff) even got to hold them.

Today an amazing production of Aladdin took place at Gillingstool to celebrate the opening of Book Week.  Wonderful performances were given by members of staff too numerous to name check here!!

The whole school was treated to a visit by Louis Bingham and Griselda Sanderson who were visiting the area as part of the Rockhampton Folk Festival.  They performed a 45 minutes session which was thoroughly enjoyed by the pupils.

Thanks you to all parents who made donations at the end of the Christmas Performances.

Pupils in Year 5 started Ukuele lessons today.  They really enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to next week’s lesson already!

Pupils from the Reception class took part in a play called ‘The Little Angel’.  They all did really well and made their teacher and parents very proud.

Thanks to all staff involved.

The children in Year 5 have transformed the class group room into a showcase of this term’s work on Ancient Egypt.  This stunning presentation is an amazing collection of artwork, design technology, historical research and writing. If you visit the museum our Year 5 children are very knowledgeable tour guides.

In the Class 1 & 2 nativity play, a very busy midwife who never misses an important birth is extremely excited when she hears that a king is about to be born in Bethlehem. She rushes out into the night in search of a shiny golden palace fit for a king. Her donkey Steve doesn’t think he’s ever heard of Bethlehem Palace, but the midwife is in no mood to listen – where else would a king be born?  With the help of some gospel-singing angels and a very bright star, the midwife is led to a humble stable to find the very special baby already waiting for her.

Well done to all the children in Class 1 & 2 and thank you to all the staff for their hard work.
