Illustrator like Son - World Book Day 2017

We would like to thank Andrew Kingham for talking to Stanford pupils on World Book Day about being an illustrator. The children were really inspired and enjoyed hearing how he takes an idea to a published page. http://www.andrewkingham.co.uk/

This week, our fabulous Year 4 children have been performing to parents, carers and the rest of the school as part of our Christmas celebrations.

Their version of Cinderella Rockafella was truly magnificent and performed in the true spirit of pantomine - 'Oh no it wasn't! Oh yes it was!'

I was impressed by the slickness of the show and the magnificent singing and acting skills.

Thank you to our talented Year 4 team - Miss Ross, Miss Steele and Mr Templeman who were wonderful directors.

Thank you also to those people that supported the children by making props, costumes and helping to practise the songs - Mr Richards, Mrs Beazley, Mrs Ford, Mrs Harmer, Mrs Graimes, Ms Gough, Mr Cropp and Mr Sandells.

We look forward to welcoming you all to our Christmas Carol concerts at the Church of the Good Shepherd next week.

On Monday I attended the Christmas Carol Concert held at the Brighton Centre where a record number of schools participated in an evening of festive song and musical performances.

Our amazing choir, led by Miss Dell, were positioned centre stage, right at the front and I was sat directly opposite them.

It was a joy to watch as they performed and I could not have been prouder.

Thank you to Miss Dell for all the work that she does with the choir and to Mrs Beazley who accompanied the children to their rehearsal during the day and their performance that evening.

We can now look forward to further performances by the choir during our Christmas Carol Services at the Church of the Good Shepherd next week.

Hope to see you there!

Today, we were delighted to welcome Rachel Hawker from 'Rock Steady' into school to perform a live music assembly which explored the different sounds and techniques used in a rock band! The children loved hearing Rachel sing some of their favourite songs as she performed, live, right in front of their very eyes. The children were asked to share which part they would like to play in their own rock band.

We will be welcoming 'Rock Steady' back to school in January when each class will have an opportunity to participate in an interactive rock workshop.

The children will then be given an opportunity to sign up for  rock band lessons. Keep your eyes peeled for further details.

World Hello Day was started 43 years ago in 1973. The purpose of the day is simple: to promote peace all over the world and bridge barriers between every nationality.

Taking part could not be easier. All you have to do is say HELLO and give a good greeting to at least 10 people you meet. This can be family, friends and adults in school. Be brave and reach out to people that you do not know very well.

Remember: Stranger Danger. You should not speak to strangers unless you are in a public place and with an adult that you know and trust! KEEP YOURSELF SAFE AT ALL TIMES!
