  Once again the children, parents and staff amaze us with their fund-raising prowess!  They have raised a whopping £882.88 to help children and families around the world. The entire school community are incredibly proud of this achievement.  There were a variety of approaches used to raise this money:

  1) Cake sale during the extended afternoon break.

  2) Covering a number of red noses with coins (13 in total!)

  3) Buying red noses themselves.

  4) Non-uniform day

• Christmas Tree Festival

  Fri 09 Dec 2016 Hazel Mills

  Year 6 children have been decorating a tree to be included in the Christmas Tree Festival held at West Bridgford Methodist Church. Our tree commemorates the Christmas Truce of 1914 when, for just one day all across the front, men from both side emerged from the trenches and met in No Man’s Land to exchange gifts and play football.

  A symbolic moment of peace and common humanity in an otherwise devastatingly violent war.

  There will be 40 trees on display and the Festival is open to the public over the next two weekends.

• Superhero day a success at Lady Bay!

  Fri 02 Dec 2016 Lee Shilton

  Everybody at Lady Bay had a fabulous day on Friday 2nd December when they dressed up as superheroes!  All of the children (and some staff) looked fabulous!

   

  The children certainly used their 'Powers for Good' throughout the day, but particularly when they visited the Year 6 classrooms for their fundraiser.  I would like to thank the Year 6 children who helped to raise awareness of the unacceptability of any form of bullying at Lady Bay by organising entertaining workshops of activities.  Here the children got to play fun games whilst, more importantly, learning about Anti-Bullying and the need to use their 'Power for Good' to help everyone in the school community to stay safe and free from bullying.  A special mention to the winners of The Best Dressed Superhero and The Anti-bullying Superhero poster competition winners(Pictured holding chocolate!)

   

  Please watch this space for details of the next Anti-Bullying fundraiser.  Additionally, if you feel that you child in experiencing bullying or is unhappy in any way, please don't hesitate to contact your child's teacher or Mr. Shilton.

  

• Rutland win first Dragon's reward!

  Wed 02 Nov 2016 Lee Shilton

  Congratulations to RUTLAND for winning the most Dragon's gold in the first half-term.  It was a closely fought contest, and the final results were as follows:

  Rutland: 526

  Adbolton: 503

  Trent: 512

  Pierrepont: 422

  Seymour: 484

  Their reward was a visit from 'Hawks of Steele', a bird of prey display company.  The children had a thoroughly amazing time meeting a variety of feathered-friends, including Gus, the golden eagle!  Comments were heard from the children, such as, "This was my best day ever!", "I have never done anything like this before!" and "I have always wanted to handle birds of prey!".  The next reward is "Lady Bay Goes to the Movies" and will take place at the end of the half term.  Well done all!
