Red Nose Day and Drum Day 1999
The Year 2 staff, Miss Katwa, Mrs Butcher and Miss Price came up with the idea of all coming to school in our pyjamas for Red Nose day. The children were asked to bring a contribution for comic relief for the privilege of wearing their night clothes.
Those contributions totalled 130 pounds.
There were lots of Red Nose activities around the school during the day, including dancing, joke telling and a silly poem recital from Year 2.As a follow up to the school's involvement in the Hampshire Curriculum Music Project, Sue Beckett from the music team came to spend a day with us.
The children, in small groups, spent about 45 minutes each with Sue playing a variety of drums. From bongos to huge African
drums carved from tree trunks.
The children (and the teachers) enjoyed it immensely - there is
something very theraputic about beating an 'African talking drum' or a huge 'gathering drum'.
