Stocksbridge Junior School

Cuthbert and Needham’s fond memories

July 5, 2007 · No Comments

We can’t believe we have spent 4 years in S.J.S. To both of us, it only seems like 4 days. Although it does not seem long ago when we entered the school, we know it has been 4 years, and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots has happened.

Cuthbert’s memories…

Y3:

In Y3, I can clearly remember our first assembly, when the hall seemed like a vast field, and the apparatus enormous towers. I later nearly threw up in Mr. Heaton’s new car on the way to hospital (I’d been running on the steps and tripped, smashing my forehead on the ground)! We were also terrified of Mr. Foster as he patrolled the school.

Y4:

Y4 was when we had Miss Freeman, and endured hours of perilous dancing.(Just a joke!) We were also forced to commit sewing, which I was completely terrible at. To make matters worse, I had to sit next to A. Lilley, the terror of the classroom.

Y5:

Mr. Ronson’s final year at S.J.S, and not many people respected that. All the girls chorused: “Why? Why? Why?” and T. Knight decided to show off by eating nettles, and going to the doctor’s 5 minutes later. Miss Robinson was our teacher.

Y6:

 My final year at S.J.S, in which we had Mrs. Gaymond, who left to have a baby in April. The SATS were evil, terrible… I cannot bear to write any more.

Needham’s memories:

Y3:

I remember when Mr. Heaton arrived and we all marvelled at how small he was! Our first assembly was amazing- everything seemed huge!

Y4:

When we went ice skating  and Cuthbert was so scared he had to grab onto my arm, later falling over and dragging me down with him!! T. Knight told me to let Cuthbert go if he fell over so I would not fall too.

Y5:

 In Maths when we always had laughing competitions (Sorry Miss Robinson!) I lost every time, and sometimes Cuthbert ejected snot onto his trousers.

Y6:

After finishing our evil SATS, we all went to the fabulous Lightwater Valley!!! My favourite rides were the Ultimate, a massive roller coaster, and The Eagles Claw, which was terryfying but also really exciting!!!

Both of us have absolutely loved our time at S.J.S, and are very sorry to be leaving.
