These super experiences have been made possible by fundraising. We thank you for your previous support and encourage you to join in with your child in our sponsored spell.  This will help us to give more children these opportunities in the future.

Each child has been given a task linked to their learning in school.  Please support your child in completing their task. 

We would appreciate it if you could help your child to find sponsors for their task and return the sponsor form by 27th February as the tests will take place in that week.  We are sure the children will do really well!

There will be rewards for all children who take part, with some individual and group rewards for children who do particularly well.

Many thanks once again for your help and support!

The full-time children from Rainbow and Sunshine recently visited Hull Truck theatre in the city centre.  They saw a production of ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’.  This was a super visit organised by the Foundation Stage staff to link with their topic ‘Traditional Tales’.  It was made possible with tickets from Hull Truck’s ’Schools into Theatre’ programme which allows pupils to experience live theatre.  The children had a great time seeing one of their favourite tales brought to life!

We all had a fabulous Children In Need Day.  As many of you may be aware, Pudsey Bear and Look North visited us at school and the staff and children in the hall were on the Look North news at 1:30pm and 6:30pm.  Miss Speck, Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Hird went along to the Hull Truck Theatre Children in Need evening.  You may have spotted Miss Speck on the front row!  Two of our pupils: Molly and Robert, accompanied by Mrs. Sharp, went on to the stage at 9:20pm and presented our school cheque live on television. Congratulations to them both for doing Paisley proud!  (They also spoke to Radio Humberside after coming off stage).  We raised an absolutely amazing, £1,062.62!  This, of course was a result of all the fundraising, which took place over the course of the week.  One of the main fundraising events of the week was the cake stall, which raised over £200!  I have already thanked the staff for their bakery contributions and I would like to thank all the parents for taking the time to bake for us and to visit the cake stall. 

ENTERPRISE EVENT – 15.11.11

Thank you for supporting our Enterprise event, which was a big success.  Enterprise is an integral part of our curriculum and the children certainly developed their enterprise skills in the lead up to the event.  All the produce sold out!  This was our first enterprise event.  We have decided to hold next term’s event at the end of the school day and to produce more goods to sell.  The event made a clear profit of £200+.  This money will be fed back into the school’s enterprise fund.  Mrs. Stabler, along with the School Council, will be deciding on an investment project for the school, so the children can reap the benefits of their hard work.

SHOE BOX APPEAL – 2011

Once again, a big, ‘Thank You’, to you all, on behalf of Mrs. Stabler, who has organised the Shoe Box Appeal.  Mrs. Stabler has been inundated with generous donations of shoe boxes for less-fortunate children.  The boxes are beautifully-wrapped and full of special gifts.  Every box also came accompanied with money to cover postage costs.  We are very touched by your generosity.  The Hull Daily Mail visited us and took a photo of Chloe and Roberto sitting amongst the boxes!

AND FINALLY…

A big, ‘Thank You’, to all the staff at Paisley for their recent contributions in terms of their time, baking contributions and for digging deep into their pockets to support recent events.  Although I am commenting here on financial support, I would also like to acknowledge the support being shown by our parents, supporting their children in their education; listening to them read regularly and ensuring that homework is completed.  It is also lovely to see so many of you coming along to the start of day learning sessions in the Foundation Stage and to the KS1 reading club.

On 26th June teaching assisstant Mrs Lison and two of her sons, James and Michael, completed the Humber Bridge Half Marathon.  They ran in order to raise money for Manchester Children’s Hospital, who cared for former Paisley pupil Megan.  They raised a fantastic £1149.10 and would like to thank everyone who sponsored them.  Megan continues to make good progress.

Here they are presenting the cheque.

To enrich their learning further, the staff organised a special ‘India Day’.  Everyone had a wonderful time making crafts, tasting foods, dancing and  dressing up.  The children also had the opportunity to talk to members of the community with experiences of India.

Each child has made a fairground ride at home with help from parents and carers.  There are some really super models, and it’s obvious that hours of work have been spent on this project.

The children are so proud, and had the opportunity to show off their models to the rest of school in a parade during assembly.

Many, many thanks to all the helpers at home!

Year 3/4 are really enjoying their Thursday evening Dance Club.  The children are being taught by a professional dance coach and are learning all sorts of modern dance techniques.  What a super way to keep fit and active!

The children really enjoy this after-school activity, and are gaining skills which they need to have a healthy lifestyle in the future.
