Congratulations
We would like to congratulate last years Opal and Ruby classes for achieving
such a high standard in the Rye in Bloom competition and for being awarded
with a plaque for the school. Also many thanks to their teachers, Mrs
Edwards, Mrs Turner, Mrs Eldridge and Mrs Annetts for their hard work,
commitment and support for this.
Adult Volunteers
Community Tea Party
This was our second event to say thank you from our school for all the
hard work and support these wonderful people have given the children
and the teachers. It was lovely to hear these people say what a lovely
school we are and what a delight it is for them to come in and work with
our well mannered children.
So thank you adults.
If
you know anyone who would like to help in the classrooms with art,
reading or playing board games with the children,
please contact Mrs N Turner.
Book
Fair
Thank you for supporting the last Book Fair. We sold nearly £600
worth of books giving us £120 worth of free books for our Library.
Library
Books
Please could you check your children’s bookshelves at home and see if any
of our reading books are there. Many books are missing from our Library. If you
do find any, please send them in a carrier bag to Mrs Turner.
The Library
We desperately need help for classifying, covering and cataloguing our new
books. If you or anyone you know has an afternoon or whole day to spare, please
could you let Mrs Turner know by leaving your telephone number with our school
secretary, so that Mrs Turner can ring you at her convenience.
Thank you.

We are pleased to celebrate the success in their SATs tests in May 2005,

Out of the 24 children many of them achieved Level 5 which is above the
expected level.
20.8% Level 5 in Literacy

We would like to thank children, parents and staff for their hard work
in gaining such a high level of success. Well done!

Silver Stars
As a result of a great deal of hard work and the innovative projects
set up by our staff, Freda Gardham has been recognised as a school that
promotes and delivers a healthy curriculum. The good practice in PSHE
has been monitored by the East Sussex, Brighton and Hove Healthy Schools
Partnership and we have obtained a silver award. We are hoping to convert
this to a gold in the future.
Congratulations to all staff.
