Christmas came early: three, enormous boxes of equipment were waiting for our return after half term. The equipment is a gift from the Premier League and is part of their scheme to promote active learning across the curriculum.

Needless to say the brand new, well-pumped footballs are already a big hit but we are sure to be using the full range of equipment to motivate pupils to make best progress in the very near future.

Thank you to Richard Scudamore and the FA Premier League for their support.

Well in true FJS style, we came ready to raise money for Children in Need 2014.

We all dressed as superhero’s, creating our own names and powers! Many of us came armed with cakes ready for our cake sale and the BBC news came to film us arriving at school.

This year was no different and our traditional afternoon of games was enjoyed by the whole school community. Much hard work goes into creating our own games which are run and the rest of the school enjoy playing (and winning!).

After a wonderful day where much fun was had we needed to remember that we were raising money for such a worthwhile cause.

We await  the announcement of the grand total amount raised and hope it is a new school record.

During this week children have been organising their donations to our Harvest celebrations at FJS.

Mr Parsons from the Trussell Trust presented an assembly to the whole school and thanked them for their generous donations.

A little information about the Trussall Trust:
The foodbank is now firmly established in South Wiltshire and was given the Queen’s Jubilee for service to the community in 2003.  It was set up by The Trussell Trust (Registered Charity No 1110522), a Christian charity, and is committed to launching life changing, sustainable community based projects.
The foodbank provides short term emergency food to people in crisis.  Food is given as an intervention strategy which allows care professionals, such as Church Pastoral Workers, Health Visitors, Social Services etc, time to put longer term measures in place.  Last year the foodbank distributed over 38 tonnes of food to 4,054 people, of which 1,563 were children.  People are given enough food for at least 3 days.  We would be delighted if the children could support this charity.

Every class was set the challenge to build the best Guy for our firework event. With the competition on each class set to work on their secret plans to construct their masterpieces!

After much stuffing, creating and fun our creations were complete.

I think you will agree they are all wonderful and all got their own style!
