Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• D.I.S.C.O.

  Thu 21 May 2015

  It was the Summer Disco this afternoon. There were some impressive moves on display from the children as well as Mr Cole. 'Frozen' and 'Gangnam Style' seemed to be the big floor fillers, but sadly DJ Ashley was unable to find one  request for Showaddywaddy's 'Doo Wah Diddy'. Maybe next time, Mr Helm...

   

  Take a look at some of the action below:

   

  

• Trip to the Tip

  Tue 19 May 2015
  The School Council were lucky enough to visit the Household Waste Recycling Centre on the Nuffield Industrial Estate to get ideas about how we can improve recycling at Upton Infant School.

  

• CASA Football Tournament

  Mon 18 May 2015

  The Year Two footballers were treated to a football feast at Upton Rec! Due to another school pulling out of the CASA tournament at the last minute, a mini-tournament was held, with three Upton teams of four players contesting the CASA Sports Trophy. The eventual winners, "Team Orange", remained unbeaten and scored some truly excellent goals.

   

  The next CASA event is this Friday - an athletics tournament starting at 3.15pm.

  

• Election Fever

  Fri 08 May 2015

  On Thursday election fever gripped Upton Infant School. Groups of pupils across the school presented their manifestos to try to persuade the other children in school to vote for their proposal on how to spend £100 to 'improve' the school.

   

  In a closely fought battle the winning parties were the 'Hide and Seek' party (-is this the new name for the Liberal Democrats?), the 'Fox Flash' party and the 'Swimmers go Crazy' party.  They promoted the ideas of spending the money on updating our role play costumes and purchasing some water fun equipment eg a big paddling pool and water pistols to be used as a class reward for collecting 100 gold coins.

   

  Mr Helm (as Prime Minister) and Mrs Steele (as Chancellor) will now ensure that the manifesto promises are kept.

   

  The opinion of the political commentators is that there appears to have been a big swing towards FUN at Upton Infant School.

   

   

  

• Nepal Appeal

  Fri 01 May 2015

  Upton Infant and Junior Schools held a non-school uniform day today to help raise funds to support the people of Nepal.

   

  Nepal was hit by a devastating earthquake on Saturday, its worst in over 80 years. More than 500 people have been reported dead and 50,000 more injured. Many families have lost everything in the earthquake.

   

  Thanks to the generosity of Upton Infant School's pupils, families and staff, a total of £615 was raised. It was particularly touching that some children were moved to donate their own pocket money towards the appeal.

   

  Thank you very much to all members of our school community. Below are a few pictures of the children in "non-school uniform".
