All Cannings Church of England Primary School

EXTENSION TO THE BUILDING
On 17th May work began on our new Library and a small extension to our Staff Room.  The builders have been able to make excellent progress due to the good weather.  In the first week the foundations were completed.  In the second week the block and brickwork has been finished and over half term the roof trusses arrived.

Here are some of the photos of work in progress.  The project is due to be completed on 6th August and will be ready for use at the start of the new academic year.

  
By the end of June work on the roof will be completed and the internal plasterwork and fitting out can take place.

Congratulations to our hockey team
who became County Champions at the
Primary Schools Hockey County Finals
at Devizes on 26th March, defending the title which the
school also won last year.

HAINE & SMITH AWARDS

Congratulations to our most recent winners of the
Haine & Smith Awards which are given
each term for children who have shown the most improvement in their sporting performance.

  This term's winners are Luke, Jamie, Eleanor, Hannah and Steven who have received their awards from Giles Smith of Haine & Smith who kindly donated the trophies.

ECO SCHOOLS GREEN FLAG AWARD



Congratulations to our Eco Council who, under the leadership of Mrs Anna Woodman, have successfully completed the Green Flag Award - one of only 6 schools in Wiltshire to do so.

The children have been working on several different environmental themes over the past couple of years as they have progressed through the Bronze and Silver Awards.  The Green Flag required involvement in a large scale community project and in our case this has involved working with the church to develop the churchyard.

We look forward to flying the real Green Flag very soon.

Wiltshire Young Carers Service
This year the school is supporting Wiltshire Young Carers as its chosen charity.

Young Carers care for relatives with disabilities or long term illness with their day to day needs.  The charity has 900 young carers on its database in Wiltshire, many of whom are caring for parents with drug or alcohol dependency, or serious mental health problems.

The charity provides support, advance, emotional support and practical assistance as well as respite and the chance to relax with other young people in similar circumstance.

It services are free including the provision of transport and residential breaks

CLASS 2'S GOLDEN WORSHIP

Class 2's Golden Worship was a celebration of Mothering Sunday.  The children sang and shared pictures that they had drawn of their mothers and talked about some of the ways that other countries celebrate Mothers' Day.  During the service parents were presented with flowers and simnel cakes.  Thank you to all of the parents who were able to join us.
