• A visit from the Puffins

  Fri 01 Feb 2019 Mrs Winfield
  We were delighted to host the Year 1 Puffins from Hope this morning. They joined the Swallows for a morning of space fun - blasting off together for an adventure out of this world; writing diary entries from visits to space stations and helping each other to build junk model rockets. 

  

• Our Christingle Service

  Fri 01 Feb 2019 Mrs Winfield
  We had a lovely collective Worship in church this morning. The children had made 'christingles' at craft club and we took them down for our service with Simon. We talked about the significance of the red ribbon, the sticks, sweets and the orange. We reflected on how the Children's Society supports those in need and then lit our candles for prayers.

• Anti-Bullying Week & Children in Need

  Wed 21 Nov 2018 J Garmeson
  Children at Edale School took part in a series of lessons and activities during anti-bullying week. The children discussed issues around bullying and also focused their attention on acts of kindness that they had experienced and added them to our 'Tree of kindness'. They ended the week with a busy morning at Hope School to celebrate 'Children in Need' where they dressed up, decorated cakes, made Pudsey faces and cracked Pudsey codes!

  

• Our Remembrance Service

  Fri 09 Nov 2018 Mrs Winfield
  We had a lovely service of remembrance at the church this morning. The children made medals to honour all the men from Edale who did not return home from the war. Our Year 6 Ambassadors read some of their own thoughtful poetry and we reflected on what an impact our soldier silhouettes had in the pews of the church. All children demonstrated the utmost respect during a moment of silence outside.
