- A new school club has been formed!
- These children formed the Happy Club at playtime. Who can join the club and what should the rules be?

- Autumn arrived at Sherington School with our final crops of carrots, beetroot and potatoes supplementing the free fruit & veg supplied by the local authority. The latter formed the basis of our harvest lunch which was followed by our festival celebrations in St Laud’s Church the same evening.
- We were joined over lunch by representatives of Sherington Pre-School and our VIP guest Mrs Christine Bearman who officially opened our bike shed (belatedly) and the new joint Pre-School growing plot. Thanks are due to Christine for her time and gift of a gardening token, to Oliver & Thomas Wright and to Mason Dowd for their gifts of apple trees to begin the planting in the plot. Also thanks are due to Mr Crook of Sherington Garden Centre for a generous gift of seeds and pots.
- Our National Healthy School trophy was
 delivered by Mrs Pam Brandon from the local authority team and on the same day we were cheered along by ‘Mooey’ one of the MK Dons mascots. Sports Coach Chris, who has been training our Key Stage 1 children in Multisports, brought Mooey to help us celebrate.
- Key Stage 1 made healthy sandwiches and side-salads from a buffet-style range of ingredients to complete their Design & Technology tasks.
- We ended the half-term with some nice autumnal walks and rambles including a picnic lunch at the Perry Lane Recreation Area taking the opportunity to check our off-site facility.

- The starting of a new academic year gives us pause for thought as we see our new cohort settle into the school family. This year has been no exception as the ‘old hands’ of Year 1 adopted their new Reception classmates and by offering guidance and support helped them into new daily routines.
- A fine crop of wild blackberries in our hedgerows combined with the first apples in the new mini-orchard led to one enterprising pupil making us all a lovely crumble as her positive contribution to the school.
- A follow-up ‘Bridge-Builder’ assembly by welcome return visitor Anna Bayman on the theme of ‘God’s Word’ complemented our opening RE topic of Belonging whether to home-family, school or the family of the church.
 - The PTFA financed an educational fun-day at the new Eco-Park in Milton Keynes which, although a little chilly, was an extremely enjoyable and informative trip. Stevie the baby Stegosaurus was a big hit as were the small ‘drama-documentary’ performances and host of varied activities.
- Having won our Milton Keynes Bronze Healthy School award in 2005 we had been working toward the next Silver Level when the Local Authority suggested we go for the higher National Level. This we have now achieved and are aiming to raise this further to local Gold Standard in the following school terms.
- We hosted the AGM of the Sherington Pre-School, said a final thank you and temporary Goodbye & good luck to Sue for all our liaison work over the previous decade. A welcome outcome with the new team will be continuing and extended liaison including their own growing plot in our school grounds.
