• The name is Boffin, James Boffin!

  Wed 10 Oct 2012
  Today we had a visit from Science Headquarters.  James Boffin, Special Scientist Agent, was sent to show us some science he has been working on.  He made us laugh and cheer and clap and taught us about lots of amazing science stuff.  Have a look at some of the photographs, maybe you will see something you can try out at home.

  

• Harvest Time at Gateford Park

  Fri 05 Oct 2012
  On Thursday, we held our two annual Harvest Festivals at school. The children sang beautifully in the performances and many kind donations of food were given by parents. Pete Hardy, from Poplar Church, reminded us all that 'we reap what we sow' and entertained us with photos from the past. The parents who came to see the KS1 Harvest Festival looked fantastic, joining in with the actions to the songs!
  
  As is the tradition at Gateford Park, the Year 6 children then took the donations out into the community, to give them as gifts to the elderly who live nearby. It was lovely to see Gateford children bringing a smile to so many faces. Please see the photographs below.
  
  Our thanks go to everyone who donated food and came along to support our Harvest Festivals, to the parents who helped with distributing the harvest parcels and to the staff who made it all possible. Thank you!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  

• Team GP Football Update

  Thu 04 Oct 2012
  There has been excellent news from the football field this week, with two excellent victories for Team GP!
  
  On Tuesday, the boys went to Priory School to face them in the first round of the Parry Cup.  Both teams played well but with two super goals from Jamie B. and one each from Adam O. and Joshua G., Team GP won with an impressive 0-4 scoreline.
  
  On Wednesday, it was the first match in the league as the boys faced St. Augustine's School at our Raymoth Lane field.  Jamie B. and Adam O. provided a goal each leading to a 2-0 victory for Team GP.
  
  Our thanks go to the parents and staff who help with coaching and come along to cheer the boys on.
  
  What a great start to the new season!  Go Team GP - keep it up!
  
  Please check back for photographs of the games in the next couple of days.
