Stocksbridge Junior School

On Monday 25th June 2007 , 5 people from y5 were chosen to go on a trip to Kelham Island. These people were Tom, Liam, Zakk, Kate and Summer. There were 15 authors and 1 poet there. In the morning we got to work with Anne. We were writing poems about Kelham Island.  In the afternoon we worked with an author called Jane but we only got to work with her for 10 mins because we quickly had to be evacuated. It had rained so much that the river nearby was about to burst.  Apparently within 30 minutes of us being evacuated to the Winter Gardens on higher ground, the river burst and flooded the whole of Kelham Island.  We eventually made it back to school but unlike lots of other schools in Sheffield, ours wasn’t closed!

This year’s sponsored event

This year’s sponsered event was a penalty shoot out with Steve Adams a former Sheffield Wednesday player. The cause for the sponsered event was to raise money for sport equipment for the school. There was also a a sum of money to ensure a education for a child in Kenya . A sum of money was donated to Bluebell hospice.

The Y6’s were the first to participate, they had to be split into two teams the aim as you may or may not know was to score as maany goal against the opposing team.  We had to shoot against miss willats (she even saved Alex’s shots!) and others against miss sheehan.

On Thursday 28th of June the y6s went on a trip to lightwater valley. The y6s were on the coach for approximately 2hrs. When they finaly arrived the year 6 groups went on the first ride (the ultimate swings). The next ride they went on was the eagles claw, a rotating bar in the shape of an eagles claw and many more rides.

We had a great day but we were very tired on the way home - even Mr Heaton and Miss Burston fell asleep on the coach.  It was especially nice to see mrs Gaymond!
