Stocksbridge Junior School

In school council we are thinking of having a sponsored event to see how many bounces you can do in three minutes and people can put money on peopole that they think will do the most bounces. We are also thinking about having an assembly which they anounce the star of the week, house points and we were thinking about cloakroom awards again. We might have handwriting awards too. We don’t know if we will have lunchtime awards and break time awards.

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 Friday 29th June Steve Adams will be holding a penalty shoot out. The person with the most money raised for the charities will win a signed Wednesday or United shirt. Half the money will go to a charity in Africa to help the poor people to get clean water and help get medications. The other half of the money will go to Blue Bell Wood cancer charity. The person we are shooting against is an ex-Wednesday keeper and maybe Mr F and Mr H might have a crack at it too!!

Steave Adams (the man who comes to our school and teaches football skills) is helping us with this year’s school fundraiser. Every year we have a fundraiser to raise money to sponsor a family in kenya and help them have a better life. To go with this year’s fundraiser we are having a competition that the chilldren of the school can enter. You have to make something to do with Steve Adams and his penalty shoot out.

This is a picture of when Steve Adams came into our school and taught football to year six.

After the success of their Greek Extravaganza Performance, the Y5s decided to record the songs onto a CD to sell to their parents as a momento of their assembly.

“It was all very professional and we had to be extra specially quite between the songs so we didn’t record ourselves giggling!”

On Friday 16th March SJS did a limited edition Comic Reilif  ‘Stars in their Eyes’. The day before the show Miss Freeman held some auditions for anyone who wanted to take part in the show on friday.

On Friday 16th March nearly everyone (including me) did a particular act of their choice for the Stocksbridge Junior School’s limited addition of stars in their eyes for comic relief!!! The day before Miss Freeman (the organiser) held auditions for all of the people who wanted to participate in the wonderful event!everyone was either wearing  fancy dress or a costume-they all looked extremely funny (especially when they did their act).

The school council recently organised the 2p trail!  Each class had two weeks to collect as many 2 pence coins as possible, then on Friday lunchtime each class lined their coins up back and forth in the hall to see which class had collected the most.  Well done to Mrs G’s class who won an extra playtime.

Last week, the Knight family won an ENORMOUS toblerone in the school raffle. After eating a bit themselves, they kindly split the rest up into 300 pieces (one for every child in the school)! T.K, a member of the Knight family, brought the pieces in a bag round to each class. Thanks to the Knights as the chocolate was YUMMY!

On children in need day our school had a non-uniform day to raise money for charity. We also had a big cake stall and lots of children brought in a variety of cakes and bisciuts to sell…yum yum! Altogether we raised £230. In the afternoon we did a fantastic talent show and some acts were very funny and others were a little weird. Overall it was FANTASTIC!

Pupils of SJS became catwalk models last week in a fundraising fashion show!  It was a huge success as we managed to raise nearly £500.

Many thanks to the BRATS clothing company and to many of the teaching assistants who organised the whole event.

We raised over £1000 in a spellathon for the NSPCC.

We are pleased to be able to offer parents the opportunity to purchase many of the software titles we have in school, allowing the further support of learning at home.  All of the titles available have been designed and produced by Sherston, a reputable manufacturer of educational software, and support the work that pupils undertake in school.  We have purchased ‘community licenses’ for all of the Sherston titles available, which allow your child to use the software at home as well as at school.  

Many of these software titles retail at £19.95, however we are making them available to you for just £5.00 per CD-ROM with even further reductions for specific sets of software, for example, the Junior Science Series of three CD-ROMs for £12.50.  We have also created a bundle of five CD-ROMs which support the revision of Year 6 pupils.  The funds raised through the sale of these software titles will go towards the purchase of new child-friendly digital cameras.  These will enhance the provision of animation and film in our school and also allow children to assess their own performances in music and physical education.

Please contact the school office for information about each title and an order form.
