On Friday 21 November 2014, Stanley held a Mufti Day to support anti-bullying week, and many of our children wore blue, the campaign colour. At Stanley we believe that every child has the right to learn and play in a safe environment, and any form of bullying is unacceptable. Deputy Headteacher Mr Herdman wore a particularly eye-catching outfit!

As part of their topic on the Great Fire of London, Year 2 have been learning about firefighting through the ages, and were recently lucky enough to have a visit from the local fire service to demonstrate equipment and techniques that are used today. Please visit the 'Year Groups- Year 2' section of the website for more photos of this exciting event!

This year’s school Arts Week will take place w/c 9 February 2015. At Stanley, one of the values in our 
values education project is 'Responsibility'. In light of this, this year’s Arts Week will have the focus of 
'Trash to Treasure' by recycling and upcycling different objects. In order to fund all the exciting 
workshops available, we have decided to start a fundraiser, so that the children have the opportunity to 
experience a wide range of these activities.

 

How can you help?

We are asking for you to donate all kinds of unwanted items, such as CDs, DVDs, Games, iPhones and Games Consoles. We will then recycle and exchange these goods for money, which will be used to fund Arts Week. (N.B Please make sure that any items donated are in working order. If donating CDs or DVDs, please make sure they come with the matching case). Please drop off any donations at the school office. 

 

For one of our activities during Arts Week, we will be creating some bottle lid artwork. Please can you save up your lids of all materials, colours and sizes, and drop them into the school office or directly to Hollie Kempson (Birch Class teacher). Thank you in advance.

To introduce their new term topic ‘Remember, Remember’, Year 2 held a ‘Guy Fawkes Day’ on Monday 3 November 2014. The children and staff dressed up in period costume and the day included different activities to teach the children about this historic event.
