• Whole School To Christchurch

  Thu 10 Dec 2015 Miss Rogers
  Our whole school marched to Christchurch yesterday afternoon to go there for our annual Christmas Assembly. We would like to thank Vicky and Maggie for leading it. It is much appreciated. We would also like to say thank you to our super readers, choir and prayer readers too. You were so confident.

  

• Well Done Key Stage 1 - A Great Christmas Play!

  Thu 10 Dec 2015 Miss Rogers

  We are so proud of you all KS1 children!!

  The children performed their production of 'Baubles' phenomenally well. The singing was so strong - it sounded professional. You had so many lines to learn and the acting was spot on. A huge thank you for getting us in the Christmas spirit. Everyone was so complimentary about it and rightly so!

  It is great to see how confident you are all becoming and it also proves that practice does indeed make perfect!

  Enjoy the following photographs.

  

• School Choir Sings to raise funds for Autistic Society

  Wed 09 Dec 2015 Miss Rogers

  Today our Choir did us proud here at Great Binfields as the children sang beautifully in Festival Place. They were there to support The Autistic Society as this is a good fundraising opportunity for them.

  Thank you for your support children and I hope that you all feel chuffed with yourselves. Miss Khan and Miss Lyddon thought you tried really hard - well done to you all.

  

• EYFS Nativity

  Tue 08 Dec 2015 Miss Rogers
  As promised, I am posting some lovely photographs of your super EYFS children who did another tremendous job of acting, dancing and singing today. Thank you Year R for reminding us about the true meaning of Christmas.

  

• Christmas Nativity Brings Tears To Our Eyes

  Mon 07 Dec 2015 Miss Rogers

  Our EYFS children did tremendously well this morning as they performed the Nativity story to their Family and Friends. The children sang beautifully, acted wonderfully and said their lines with gusto. It was lovely to see them beam with pride and be so confident. They impressed us all and helped us to remember why we celebrate Christmas. They will perform again tomorrow morning so if you ahvent been yet, you are in for a real treat! 

  Better photos will follow as I'll use a better camera!

  

• Thank you everyone!

  Fri 04 Dec 2015 Miss Rogers

  Thank you to all of you who contributed and supported our Christmas Fayre this evening. It was a fabulous success and we think we have beaten last years' profit total. The Friends of Great Binfields should be immensely proud of themselves. A great result due to hard work! 

   

• It is our Christmas Fayre

  Fri 04 Dec 2015 Miss Rogers
  It is our Christmas Fayre this evening, Friday 4th December from 5-7pm. Please come and support this event.

• Year 1 Food Festival

  Tue 01 Dec 2015 Miss Finnimore and Miss Hanafin

  Year 1 spent two weeks travelling to different countries all over the world. Each day they had a different focus which included; making postcards, writing captions for pictures they took, writing descriptions, measuring using different pasta, building their own Empire State Building and measuring these. They also created video blogs and became tour guides, both using alliteration.

   

  We finished the two weeks with a food festival, giving children the chance to taste food from the different countries which they visited. We tried:

  - Scones and jam from England

  - Nachos and dip from Mexico

  - Polish sausage, Kopytka (Polish dumplings) and traditional Polish biscuits

  - Olives and Paella from Spain

  - Cracker bread and meat from Italy

  - French stick and cheese from France

  - Vegetable samosas and onion bhajis from India

   

  We voted which stall we enjoyed the most - Poland was the winner!

   

   

   

  

• Christmas Fayre this Friday 4th December - Please do come along!

  Mon 30 Nov 2015 Miss Rogers

  This Friday is our Christmas Fayre starting at 5pm and finishing at 7pm. We really do hope that you will be attending with your family to support this event.

  The Friends of Great Binfields are really working hard to ensure that it is a success and our school staff will also be supporting on the evening.

  This year we are adding a few more new things to entice you. Our School Council are having their very own stall of all things Chrismassy of course. Plus all of our children have been busy last week, making some super Christmas produce to sell too. The standard of produce is really high - It really is! The children have already stated they can not wait to spend their pocket money.

  We are still short of bottles for our Tombola so if you could make a contribution, it would be gratefully received as would some lovely cakes for our ever so popular 'vintagey' cake stall (please can donations be dropped in on Friday morning).

  I will be selling raffle tickets like normal but will also be playing a new game - Guess How Many £1 in the jar. The winner (who is closest) will of course receive all of the contents of the jar - an extra bonus that I'm sure will be most welcome at this time of year!

  Also, a reminder that Christchurch, Chineham have their Christmas Tree Festival on this coming weekend. Great Binfields will be decorating their own tree for display and there will lots of fun things going on for families! More details can be found on the web link below:

• Library Visits

  Mon 30 Nov 2015 Miss Rogers
  Look at our Year 1 proudly parading their new library books. The children walked down to our local library braving the bad weather, where the librarians have been brilliant showing them around the books and read them a story also.
