Shields

Time to show you the talents of our parents.
They worked with their children to produce shields to decorate the stage for our production of Troy Story

 Great, aren't they?

Some were Spartan shields and some were Trojans

Thanks parents - you really added to our production

A day in the life of Jesson's. Thursday 29th March 2012

Thursday 29th March. Just another day at Jesson's. Let's look what's happening.

Above, we have Year 3 trying out the penny farthing in Coventry's Transport Museum

For the first time, we have a team in the local girls' football league. A 3-0 victory! Well done girls!

Below, what's this? Lunchtime. A queue of children...

 ...waiting to enter a competition organised by the School Council

A penalty shoot out with Mr Seager in goal. This is an action shot Well saved Mr Seager

The Reception children love playing in the sunshiine

Even if you hurt your elbow, a kind member of staff will look after you

Inside the dining hall there's a good variety of food on offer. Burgers, cheese pie, fish goujons, chilli con carne, jacket potato. We regularly have halal meat available for thsoe who want it too.

Nursery children were very excited by their special visitors, farmers Robin and Vicki and one of their lambs.

It was fun feeding

Stroking was even more fun

We asked lots of questions too.

Ingestre Hall recording weekend

Friday night: Mr Jackson and Mr Hayward pause for a break while setting up the equipment

The front of the drums have to come off so the microphones can be put in

Careful with that piano....

Saturday morning at 7 am. The mist is just lifting (View from the bedroom window)

 Mrs Roden talks to John, who isn't happy with the sound levels

 Taking a break in the side room

 Mr Kimberley does some quick practice
Jubilate come back in to join Fusion

Getting ready to record the next Jubilate song

 The view from the conductor's spot

Even with the demon goalie, the bloglady's team won the football  match. Sorry Mr Seager, but 6-4 is a clear victory.

There was time for fun before the disco started 

Sorry, the disco pictures were too blurred!!!!!  The children moving too fast, not the bloglady - not after the 50 minutes of football!!!

New Games

We've had some new playground equipment. Here the bloglady tries out a throwing game.

This picture took a long time to take because she kept missing (ahem!) 

A Eurofighter went over school on Friday

Sunflowers and Symphony Hall

Some of our children went to perform at Birmingham's Symphony Hall at the weekend

Here are a few pictures - Thanks Mrs Bramble!

 It was an excellent day, apparently. It certainly looks that way.

These sunflowers were done by children in Year 2. Yes, Year 2. Aren't they amazing?

A visit to Blists Hill results in some homemade candles

Year 5 went to Blists Hill, which is near Ironbridge.

Looks a bit like the Black Country Museum doesn't it?

They found time to chat with the local bobby...

 ... and to visit the local chapel.


Writing with quill pens proved challenging 

They really enjoyed the candle workshop

Here are the finished results

We had hoped they might make Mothers' Day presents, but most children seemed to want to keep theirs!
