SUPER
SCIENCERED NOSES AT
THE READY!BY THOMAS BEASLEY-EADES, LUCY BOURNE& ISABELLE HARMAN
On the 15th March, it was time to get
the red noses on and have a great time
raising money for Comic Relief!
We all came in red clothes and some of
the Year 5 girls painted peoples nails,
sprayed hair, did tattoos and face paint
and guess the name of the baby.We also did some fun activities in as-
sembly and it was teachers against
school councillors!! The competitions
included
how many
clothes can
you fit on as
fast as you
can, then
ring the
bell? Whocan eat the
most dry
crackers?
Can you fit
loads of
Maltesers in
your mouth then say fluffy bunny? It
was so funny!Sebastian Armstrong even entertained
everyone with his act juggling red noses!All the money raised for Comic Reliefwill go to help people who are not as
lucky as us, like giving people in Africa
a better life, clean water and houses.
The money can prevent them from get-
ting malaria, and help them to live a
longer life. If you watched it on the telly,
you could see all the daring challenges
normal people and celebrities did like
Jessie Jay shaving off her hair! But its agreat cause so they knew they had made
the right decision and we are glad that
we at Bickerton helped too!

Some children from Year 4, 5 and 6 went on a
wonderful trip to perform at the Young Voices
concert at the Manchester arena.
They had been practising and practising for a few
months and it took a while to learn all the songs anddance moves. At the concert, they performed with
thousands of other children and some special acts.
We have asked a few people for their opinions about
it:
Mrs Boothby went for the very first time and she
said I thought it was amazing!! A once in a life time
opportunity and a great atmosphere! The practice in
the afternoon was hard work, but totally worth it be-
cause then, we got to sing with loads of other people
and schools. The best thing was when they turned the
lights of and all you could see was the torches. Mag-
ic!
We also asked Sashas mum Elizabeth Price some
questions:
Did you enjoy it?
Yes it was great.
Did you like the songs?
Yes they were brill.
What was the best part of the night?
When the lights went out.
What was your favourite act?I liked the African childrens choir.
We also asked Mrs. Chesworth some questions:
How was it?
Fantastic as usual.
What was your best song?
Musical memories and all of them! The taking part
was the best bit.
What was the hardest part?
The practising!
Thank you so much Mrs. Tedham for organising it and
to all the rest of the staff who came!

Then we wentin another room and got a cup of chocolate and
got a choice of toppings there were: marshmal-lows, white chocolate buttons, and wine gums,rice krispies and last of all jelly babies. We went inan education room and watched a movie abouthow cocoa beans travel to the UK.

snowballs and Mr Richardson and all of class 4
had a huge snowball fight with everyone join-
ing in! Everyone made a lot of forts too!But in the end Mr Rich said that the snowballs
were getting too hard like compacted ice.
We asked some people about what they
thought about the snow.
Mr Richardson said I loved it! It made the
school look like a Christmas card. But I did get
fed up of falling over and having to wear sillyboots! I hated driving in the snow as some peo-
ple were so silly but I loved playing football
and the snow ball fights.Mrs Tudor commented The snow was a bit of
a nuisance but it was fun for all the children. Mrs Boothby said The snow is great fun and
there are lots of educational activities you can
do in it. We made snow sculptures as part of
our art lesson!Class 1 pupil Maisie Tudor commented It was
great because I loved building the snowmenThe snow was great, even though at the end,we all got fed up with soggy socks and gloves!

made the most of the snow by
trying to live in it! We have had
igloos popping up all over the
field and Class 2 worked to-
gether to create their own in the
celebration garden! Mrs Weav-

their own at home and brought
us the pictures to see.

Class 4 took part in a dance festival onWednesday 13
thMarch and Thursday 14
th
March at Bishop Heber.They based it on South Africa because of ourlink activities with Tiger Kloof school this year.It was a wonderful dance called Safari and wehad learnt it with Mrs Parsons. We performed itwearing coloured T-shirts and lots of other
schools from the area took part. On the firstnight they called us Tushingham but luckily thenext night Mrs Parsons reminded her that wewere Bickerton and they got it right! On Thurs-day, we watched all the dances and Tom
thought that the chocolate one was the best andSasha and I thought the surfing in the UK dancewas the best! At the start of the whole dance,every school came on the stage with the bannerand ours was the best because it had lights on itfrom Young Voices.Mrs Parsons has also worked on a version of the
dance with the other classes in the school. She
said The children performed the dance beauti-
fully with no mistakes and we all had a great
time! Thanks to Mrs Chesworth and Mr Richard-
son for coming along to help too.
