‘JUST A THOUGHT’......

Mark Twain the famous American author once said that 'really great people can make you feel that

you too can become great.

What makes for the best start to a blueprint for a wonderful, happy and successful life?

A belief in your own self-worth and a deep belief in your own dignity; in yourself.

Never allow anybody –however great or important they may seem to be- to take that away from you.

So,

'If someone is trying to pull you down, they are already beneath you'

One of the most courageous things you can do is to know who you are, know what it is that you believe

and where it is that you want to go.

It is all too easy to allow your dignity, your self worth to be laughed at by others. Don’t let it be!

Know your own values, what is important to you. Live your life in a way that shows others your values.

There is an African proverb which states quite simply:

‘Nobody will think you are somebody if you don’t think it yourself.’

You count! You matter! You are important! You have real worth! Your life is a blessing. Mr. Goulbourn

TEA TOWELS

WELL DONE!

FORM 6 ART AND DESIGN

Well done to all of the children who performed so

beautifully in the Morning Concert on Tuesday. Pupils

in Forms 1-6 played and sung pieces that they are

preparing for the Alderley Edge Music Festival and

music examinations. Some children who have only

been learning for a very short time also played. It is

wonderful to see the children performing with

confidence and making such excellent progress. Well

done. I was very proud of you all. Mrs. Le Sueur

We have started a new topic on African

art forms. We are learning to use Batik

tools.

Thank you to everyone who bought a tea towel at

our farm shop and cafe. We have raised lots of

money for charity from the sale of these. There

are still some tea towels available so if you

missed out or would like more, then please see

Miss Randles in Kindergarten. They are £5 each

and make a lovely keep sake or gift. Thank you.

Miss Randles

GOLDFISH NAMED!

This week Kindergarten have chosen names for our

pet goldfish as part of their homework. On

meet Sugar, James Pond and Nemo.

Miss Randles

sculptures with Willow Artist, Juliette

Hamilton. The children worked well with

this new material and created some

HOUSE SWIMMING F4-6

House swimming was a great success on Monday morning!

The children arrived promptly at Wilmslow Leisure Centre, eager to

start. Once at poolside, the Year 6 competitions soon got under

way. The first race was with a float using a leg kick action only,

followed by front crawl, freestyle and breaststroke races.

Year 5 then completed their races, followed by Year 4. There was

lots of cheering and shouts of encouragement from the children and

it was lovely to see so many parents supporting. There was a

fabulous team spirit amongst the children which was wonderful to

see.

House points were awarded according to finishing positions and the

number of children who took part from each House. It was a very

close finish between 3rd and 4th place!

The results are as follows:

1st place – Fytton

2nd place—Clarke

3rd place—Newton

4th place—Pownall

Well done to all those who took part! Mrs. Johnstone
