"Guess how many Jelly beans are in the jar"
The children in year 3 chose Make Them Smile as their designated charity when they held a fund raising day on Thursday the 14th of May.
They each took time to write a letter to the charity and made some lovely posters for the guess how many Jelly beans are in the jar.
The year 3 pupils have worked very hard creating their idea for the class charity and working out the cost of this.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the year 3 pupils, to everybody that participated and a special thank you to Ms Bates for making this event possible.

Toby’s Latest Race Update March 2025
Despite only being four weeks into his recovery from illness, Toby was determined to take on today’s 10K race in Nantwich—and he absolutely smashed it!
He was the youngest wheelchair racer in the event and placed an incredible 3rd.
This was Toby’s first-ever 10K, and while nerves got the better of him at times—causing him to be sick three times—he pushed through. On the third occasion, paramedics briefly stopped him for a breather, but he was determined to continue and finished strong.
Nerves are part of the journey, and with each race, he’s building confidence and resilience.
Toby now has his own website at www.tobyrichardson.uk
