  • Race For Life 2016

    Published 28/06/16

    31 children across The Forest Federation had a fantastic event running for 'Race for Life' and have raised over £1300 for such a worthy cause. We had a wonderful time, it was fabulous to see the children and families running around the field and it was special to see younger siblings too, the toddlers loved it!  We also thank the parents who helped with refreshments. We are so proud of the children for entering into the spirit of the event, raising such great funds and it Is important to mention several families at Needood who rasied nearly £50 each and one family from Rangemore who raised over £1000. When they arrived on the field the girl said, "At first I felt nervous but when I got there I felt excited and happy. I am so proud to have raised so much and was determined to give it my all for all of the people who have supported me. So many people supported me because I wrote a letter saying that I was running in honour of my Nanna and my dads mum and 2 uncles as well as my mum's friend who is currently fighting back cancer. I was thrilled to raise £1,089 towards the school total." Well done to everyone.

    The children in KS2 went to church to find out what happens in a  Communion service. Mrs Rees and Mr Harrison explained to the children in the detail the significance of the service and what the bread and wine represents. The children were able to watch a demonstration of how to take communion and sampled the wafers (but not the wine!).

  • Safety Week - Visit from Inspector Neeson

    Published 06/06/16

    A visit from Inspector Neeson from Staffordshire Police started our Safety Week on Monday. He talked to us in our classes about road safety, stranger danger, E-safety, knives and anti-social behaviour to name a few! During our whole school assembly he also talked about the role of the Police in keeping us safe and we had the opportunity to ask lots and lots of questions! We thank Inspector Neeson for giving up his time to come and see us.

    We have lots of other things planned for Safety Week such as how to stay safe in the sun, Water Safety, Fire Safety and Class 3 will be taking part in a visit from the Prison Service.
