Parley First School

The pupils at Parley First School have had a very busy start to the summer term. The first week back after Easter saw many activities about weddings and celebrations, such as writing invitations, designing flags and calculating numbers of knives, forks etc for wedding guests. This linked together the Royal Wedding with our Social and Emotional learning on the focus of 'Relationships'. On the Thursday all the children had lunch on the field with long tables resembling a street party. There was little confusion with some children as to who Kate and William were, as Year 1 had also given these names to the pair of blue-tits that had nested in our bird-box. All the school have been able to watch the nest-building, egg laying, hatching and chick growth via a web-cam that has been linked to the interactive whiteboards in every classroom - our own Spring Watch!
The children have also been proud to present a cheque for £250 to be sent to Peace Mutanda School and Orphanage in Tanzania. The money was raised through a second-hand toy and book sale that was rung by the School Council with the support of Mrs Eileen Griffiths from the Cicely Foundation who have agreed to match the money we raised. It is hoped that email links can now be set up between the two schools in order to see how our money is helping children who are not so lucky.
