Click the links above to see some pictures of our fantastic 'Dad's Week'.  A big thank you to all the Dads, Grandads, Uncles and Brothers who came into school last week.  Hopefully you might spot yourself on these photos!  We made bird boxes, Egg Carriers, Computer Posters, and even went fishing!  We also had a great 'mini olympics' where the fitness really showed!  A big thank you to Chris who spent a lot of time organising the week.

Dad's Week

In a closely fought golfing encounter, Chris managed to beat Mr Cox by 5 strokes at the weekend, which included a tee shot that hit the pin and stopped 2 feet from the hole.  Mr Cox was leading until hole 15, when a poor approach found the water and his game fell apart.  In an interview after Saturday's game Chris talked about his upcoming British Open entry.  "I know Tiger is playing well at the moment but I think I have the mental game to match him.  I am hitting the ball really well at the moment."  Chris also went on to say that he will continue to fulfil his role as learning mentor even after he becomes the world number 1.

See the video of David Cameron's visit to our school

A very exciting day for Walsall Wood JMI School yesterday - we had a visit from the Conservative Party leader David Cameron.  After sampling Mrs Hayward's finest tea and biscuits with Mr Trawford, Mr Cox and Chris, Mr Cameron then spent half an hour with some pupils from Years 5 and 6, answering some very tough questions!  Yes Olivia, I am sure Gordon does help him!!  Lots of journalists were here, including a TV crew from Central News, the Express and Star, Evening Mail and the Walsall Advertiser.  I will post a link very soon to the Central News report and also to the reports in today's papers.

A visit from Gandalph!!

Each class is working hard to raise money for their end of year trip, but Year 3 are really setting the standard! They had a tombola this week and raised £220.
This brings their total raised so far to a massive £320!! Maybe they will end up in the Bahamas for their trip if they keep raising so much.......

Well done Year 3!

Reception class are now eating their lunch in their classroom - they all seem to be enjoying their own private sitting! If you want your child to try a school lunch after half term, just let Sheila or Elaine in the office know. # Posted by Stuart Cox at 8/2/08; 12:49:39 PM to the Letters Home dept.
