TEA & CAKES ON THE VILLAGE GREEN AND BRING & BUY SALE

Our event for charity, was held on Sunday afternoon 29th June. A big thank you to all who supported this event and made it a success.  It really was a joint effort with the Sheet Association and residents – we had so many contributions from you; garden produce, plants and flowers and homemade jams etc.  And of course thank you to anyone who made a cake and thanks to all for coming and supporting us on the day and buying Raffle tickets.  We had some generous prizes donated from local businesses and individuals. And if you helped setting up on Sunday morning, lifting and shifting gazebos and marquee to give everyone shade in the heat of the day, and all those tables and chairs – that was much appreciated too!

And thanks to those who entered the photography competition, all of which made a great display alongside the themed floral original art.  Your generosity produced £1131 – Tea & Cakes £366 / Produce stall £260 / Tony Clear’s flowers £186 / Raffle £319. The proceeds were split 75% / 25% to The Rosemary Foundation and Cancer Research respectively. A pleasing result.

We don’t normally single people out for praise on this website as so many people do so much and most of our events are a team effort.  However, on this occasion we felt we wanted to thank Sheet resident Tony Clear for his involvement in the Tea and  Cakes on the Green event on 29th June, and specifically for his contribution to the Bring & Buy Stalls.  Many of you will know of the huge amount of work he puts into his field of cut flowers which he sells at the Harrow pub, proceeds from which go to the Rosemary Foundation. His admirable efforts over the years have raised many thousands of pounds for this organisation.  On this occasion Tony and his partner Clare were up early on Sunday morning and gathered 30 bunches of flowers while most of us were likely still in bed! Many thanks Tony, you raised £186.

Thanks to all who came to the Tea & Cakes on the Green event on Sunday 29th June – full report and photos next month!

Here is the Sheet School Spring Term Newsletter

Hello everyone, Well a rather exciting Spring term for us here at Sheet with an Ofsted visit!  You can find the details here. We are rightly very proud of our report.  The report praises the school’s focus on personal development and behaviour and attitudes and has graded these two areas as ‘outstanding’, noting the staff’s dedication to ensuring the best for each and every child! We are thrilled to have received such positive feedback from Ofsted and are pleased that the aspects we value were noticed and noted in our report. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff, the support of our parents and governors, and the resilience and enthusiasm of our pupils. There have been visits to Windsor Castle for our Kingfisher Class (Year 1/2), The Living Rainforest for our Herons (Year 3/4) and to The Natural history Museum for Kestrels (Year 5/6).  We have celebrated World Book Day, Pancake Day (you may have heard the cheers of support from the village on Shrove Tuesday), Engineering Day and Science week too!  Alongside this our children have taken part in music day and art day at Bedales.  It really is ‘all go’ at school these days! We’ll be back in July to share more stories and adventures. Until then, keep that Sheet spirit alive! Julie Robinson, Head
