Skipathon 2008!!

The Great Manford Skipping Challenge...

All children from years 3-6 participated in the great Manford skipping challenge. Our aim was to learn how to skip, because it is a fantastic way to keep fit. All children bought their own skipping ropes to be used during playtimes from now on.

Pat Wye a PE advisor from the borough organised the event and all children were challenged to skip for 15 minutes. Each child was sponsored for the event; some raised as much as £40. The total raised will be posted after half term, when all the sponsor money has been counted. Half of the money raised will go towards buying playground equipment and the remaining money will be given to Saint Francis Hospice in Havering in memory of Marie Smith, a valued member of staff.

Well done to all children and staff who joined in the event, we now must be the fittest school in the borough!!


We hope you enjoy watching the video below of the event, can you spot yourself in action?

Good Manners Week

Good Manners Week

Monday 2nd June - Friday 6th June

During this week all children at Manford will be involved in trying to improve their manners. Activities will take place in assemblies, classes and at break times and lunch times. Teachers will be looking all week for those children with exceptional manners. It costs nothing to say PLEASE or THANK YOU, but it can mean the world.
At lunch times there will be dinner monitors assisting with laying tables and clearing, these children are from Years 5 and 6.

Throughout the week see how many stickers you can collect for good manners and see if you can be the class winner who will be presented with a certificate in assembly.

Also make sure you hand in your 'Good Manners Poster' for the competition run by the school council. Remember the best entries will win and be put up around the school.

It sounds like it will be a fun and enjoyable week, so start practising those manners now!!
