Sutton Road Primary is proud of the links we form with our community and our families. Take a look at a few of the things we have been getting up to...

SEND Coffee Mornings

This year we will be holding half termly SEND Coffee Sessions for parents. we will be having a number of visitors from different agencies that support children who may have additional needs. It is a great opportunity to meet other parents and have an opportunity to discuss worries you may have about your child, in a relaxed environment.

Our next SEND Coffe Morning is on Thursday 25th April

 

Nottinghamshire’s Fostering Campaign

Some children from Year 4, 5 and 6 were invited to the library to take part in a fostering campaign. The children shared what family means to them by decorating a leaf and including it on the new mural in Inspire Mansfield Central Library.

Feedback from Nottinghamshire County Council - “The children were fantastic and it was great to see them get so involved in the activity and all of the additional requests for holding the ribbon and photos! They were a credit to themselves, their teachers, and the school, and we loved having them at the event."

   

Bailey House 

Some of our children have enjoyed making a range of Christmas Crafts in workshops that have taken place in conjunction with Academy Transformation Trust. The children involved in the crafts visited Baily House Care home on Botany Avenue to see some of the residents. We all engaged in Christmas crafts, had chats about Christmas and listened to a Christmas story. We had a great time. Thank you to Academy Transformation Trust Further Education College and Baily House Care Home.

   

Children in Need Fundraising

     

 

Harvest Festival Food Bank Donation

Following our Harvest Festival Assemblies all food was donated to the Sherwood Forest Foodbank. They shared that our donation was equivalent of approximately 295 meals.

 

Summer Fair

Thank you to everyone who attended our summer fair, it was a great turn out from our Sutton Road families and our local community - thank you to everyone who helped us raise money for our school.

Baily House Residents

Our Year 1 children invited the staff and residents from Baily House Care Home to share their knowledge of identifying trees, they talked to the residents about the planters, how they needed to be prepped and what they had to do. The children were so excited to show the residents the planters and they talked about what plants need to grow. The staff and residents were then invited into our library and 1LS to share a book which the residents loved, and some children were very keen to share their work from the vehicle books which made everyone smile. The staff at Bailey House all commented on how polite and how lovely the children all were. Year 1 you were a credit to the school, well done.

    

Sutton Road Celebrated EID

The whole school helped our Muslim families to celebrate EID by making banners, lanterns and other related crafts in school. We had an assembly all about EID and most classes chose to make EID cookies.

After school we held an event so that all of our families could celebrate EID together. We were so lucky to have traditional foods such as cookies, biscuits, petit fours, samosas, potato balls and lots of other foods all provided by our families. We listened to traditional Egyptian and Pakistani music and looked at traditional items such as clothes, jewellery, lanterns, prayer mats and decorations. Some children and adults had henna style tattoos applied too.

The event was very well attended, and it was a great celebratory atmosphere. A huge thank you to our families for providing such an array of items and foods and for helping to create such a positive learning experience for us all.
