Weeton Primary School's Guestbook

Hello princess, Mummy told me you got an award for reading and writing well done! Also you were brave enough to read in front of the assembly about London’s burning. I’m really proud of you. Miss you baby I’ll write soon love Daddyxxxxxx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Daddy! I'm missing you. I'm still reading reading every night and trying hard at school. We have been practising a Christmas song for you. Granada Reports will be filming it tomorrow and then it will be on the television. I love you. Love from Ellie xxx
PS Have you seen the picture of me as a fire fighter? (Great Fire of London pdf link on Home page and Class Pages)

Hi again. Just saying hi and I hope you had a great weekend. I watched the fireworks which were great. I went trick or treating with Elle B. That was also great. See you soon. From Rachel.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It was a rather wet week for fireworks, wasn't it? Glad you had a good time.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. I've just been researching about the Hermit Crab for school. I heard they like to eat apples,grapes, cheese, steak and meatballs. I'm having a great time working with Mrs Dudding in the top maths group. Maths is my favourite subject. I can't wait to go and see the Wizards of Oz its one of my favourite movies. See you soon.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: That seems a very strange diet for a Hermit Crab! Mrs Dudding is really pleased with the maths group. We will soon be "following the Yellow Brick Road" to Lancaster!
Mr Horrocks

Hi guys (Sasha, Paige, Lara). Did you have a nice holiday? Well my teacher is Miss Porter and my topic is Victorians. I need some tips and facts. Pleeeese help! I miss you lots and lots.
PS I went on a Victorian trip today!

REPLY coming soon from your friends!

Hello Weeton, long time since I have written to you. I see that a lot of people from Weeton have been keeping in touch, from when I was attending. I still remember the Listening Box and I see it has done a lot of help through the years. I remember using it for little things about falling out with friends. Ha ha. I still keep in frequent touch with Christie, Callum E, Ben Tibbs, Callum P, Jade T, and lots of others. Jordan, Jack + Aimee attend the same school as me, Rockport Boarding School, it is a good school which we all board at: www.rockportschool.com take a look. I am in some of the pictures of netball in the pupils' area and gallery. Nice to talk to you again. I am almost sure that I will be coming back to Blackpool to meet up with everyone and I will be sure to make a visit back to Weeton and see how much it has changed. Love Demi x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Demi-Leigh. We could still recognise you on your school's website - even after all these years! It's good that so many former pupils keep in touch. We would be delighted to see you again one day. In the meantime, we all send our very best wishes. Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone! Looking forward to coming back to school. I'm going out trick or treating with Rachel tonight (Really looking forward). I hope everyone is having a lovely week off. I'm having a new bathroom fitted. Everything has been ripped out so looks horrible but will look nice when it is finished. Speak soon. Elle x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Elle. Pleased to hear you've enjoyed your holiday - even with all the upheaval. Remember when we had the builders in at school? It's all worth it in the end. See you back at school.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. It's Lewis here . I hope everyone is ok. We had to get dressed up the other day for Book Day. I went as Robin Hood and Megan went as a Dalmation. I still really miss Weeton though. I miss Mrs Hodson and also Daniel. Megan really misses Charlize. We still wish we were at Weeton and we both don't like the 25min walk to school and back every day. Bye for now.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you. We have just started back at school after the holiday. Your book characters sound good! You are going to be really fit with all that walking! It's not the same without Megan's singing! Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone! Really enjoyed dressing up as farmers and scarecrows. Mrs Lomas looked great as a scarecrow. I won't be here for the next Harvest Festival. Seems strange thinking about it now. I really enjoyed Class 1, 2 and 3's performance. Our school is truly OUTSTANDING. Speak soon Elle x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: I enjoyed the songs from Classes 1, 2 and 3 too. We all had a really happy day!
Mr Horrocks

Hia Weeton
Just thought I would tell you that my mum has had the baby. She had a boy called Jacob and he was born on the 13th October 2009.
Maybe he will go to Weeton one day. Say hi to Mrs Lomas for me :)

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Brilliant news! Congratulations and best wishes to all the family. I'll put Jacob's name down for Class 1! Mrs Lomas (dressed as a scarecrow today!) say Hi!
Mr Horrocks

Hi and congratulations on your outstanding achievement :)
I have just been having a nosey and seen that Rachel commented on us visting Blackpool so thought I would update you. Clara didn't win over the weekend but did very well. Been recalled for her Waltz and Jive... she got down to the final 12 which is a brill achievement given it was her first national competition and there were hundreds of people... just ask Rachel!. Laura got a 2nd for her Salsa so we did bring home one trophy! It was a very tiring weekend with lots of travelling/dress changes/make-up rituals but as we stayed on Weeton Camp we did get to see your new school developments and WOW they look good! Maybe next time we will be able to look inside. Clara is in her last year of primary, Katie is now in her second year of secondary, Olivia is in 6th form studying A Levels and Laura has just gone to Uni studying graphic design.
Say a big hi to all at Weeton and keep up the good work x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear your news. Picturing you all, it's as if you are still here! You were, after all, here for a while! So pleased to hear how well the girls are doing - dancewise at at school. It doesn't surprise us to hear about Laura's graphic design course. I'll always remember the Morgan trademark handwriting and art work. I still think of you all when I water that plant you gave us when you left, in the green vase. Everyone says hello - and call in and see us the next time you visit Weeton.
Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton, Nathan here,first I want to say happy birthday to Tom for Saturday! Next I just want to let you know that we have just had our first week at our new school, Leconfield Primary, which is much bigger than Weeton with 180 pupils but it is very friendly and easy to find our way around. My class has 34 pupils in it and I have made lots of new friends (but am missing my ones at Weeton), Keane is also enjoying it and Lewis is in his reception class in a different building to us but is making new friends and settling in really well. Our new house is much bigger than at Weeton and the camp is also really massive and it takes much longer to get to school. We now have to go either in the car or on our bikes as it is about a mile just to get to the camp gates. I hope to hear back from you all soon. Bye for now - Nathan, Keane and Lewis (oh and Corey says hi )

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: So pleased to hear you are all settling in your new school. They are lucky to get you all. I've been meaning to get Tom to reply to your message. Did you know he has broken a bone in his foot playing Kickball? Tom kicked the playground instead of the ball... He was back at school the next afternoon though, his foot in plaster and with crutches. Anyway, keep in touch and keep working hard - all of you! Watch out for a few words from Tom.
From Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone! Really looking forward to dressing up for Harvest week. I've got my outfit already. Also looking forward to going on the trip on Thursday. It's going to be great. I think our school is OUTSTANDING. Speak soon x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: We did have a great Harvest week, didn't we? And the Manchester trip to see (and hear) The Band of the King's Division was fantastic too. Amazing to think we raised over £600 for Food Aid.
Mr Horrocks

Hey everyone, how are you all? On the 19th I'm going on a French trip for a week and I can't wait. Demi and Jack hi. I'm writing to you from school. For a boarders treat we are going to the cinema tomorrow night to see Fame, which will be good. Got to go for supper Bye

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear your news, Aimee. Hope you have a great time in France! Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone
How's it going? I am now in third year and I am in the same school as Demi. I'm almost deciding which GCSE subjects I'm going to do. I'll probably do Drama as I have been in the Sound of Music and soon to be in Wizard of Oz. I'm still good at English.
Tell Mrs Lomas thanks a bunch for helping me in English.
BYE!!!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you again, Jack. We are pleased to hear that things are going well for you, particulary with the drama and English. Mrs Lomas is really pleased. Say Hello to Demi and to your Mum and Dad from us. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hi, it's Christie. How is everyone at school? I'm doing well at Carr Hill. I was inspired when I did judo in Year 6 so therefore I am now doing Taekwondo and I have been doing it for two years. I am one belt away from my black belt. I'm also doing dance. I still miss all of my teachers at Weeton. I still keep in touch with my old friends especially Jade and Demi. Well I've got to go now. Bye. Christiee_x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear about the Taekwondo and dance - Mrs Lomas is proud of you! Hope you get that black belt soon! Jade called in to see us the other week with her Mum, and Demi keeps in touch through our website. Keep working hard! Best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton, Mrs Bushell here (Andrew's mum). Well we all have settled now here in Cranwell. Andrew was ten yesterday (Monday) he had a good birthday. Christopher is going to join a different high school on Friday. We appealled for St George's and are pleased that we won. It looks a good school. It's also an outstanding school. Tristan is busy at work. He has just applied as a parent governor at Andrew's school (fingers crossed). I start a new job on Monday with the NHS as a community support time and recovery worker. Weeton Primary is a very special school. Thank you for all your hard work that you did for Chris and Andrew. Please say a big hello to Mr Goth and Mrs Lomas. We will keep in touch. All the best. The Bushell family.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear that things are going well for you all. A belated Happy Birthday to Andrew (bet you missed our cake!). Pleased to hear Chris is going to (another) outstanding school. Life as been as busy as ever here (hence this belated reply). We've all been dressed up as scarecrows or farmers for our Harvest Festival today. LOTS of straw around school for Mr Thornley! Raised lots of money for Food Aid again this week. Hope your job is going well and also Tristan's. Until next time, we all send our best wishes.
Mr Horrocks

Hi Paige, Lara and Sash. Miss you so much. Wish I could be at Weeton. You are the best friends I ever had. Love from Rome

REPLY: Your best friends say hello and hope you are enjoying your new school.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone just saying hello. I'm going to Jessica's sleepover party tonight with Emma and Elle C. I'm so excited, it's going to be great. Last night I went to see Disney Princess On Ice. It was fantastic I Loved all the bright colours. Talk soon, bye.

REPLY: You are having a fun time ast the moment!
Mr Horrocks

Hey there,
Just a wee hi and hello to Mr Horrocks. He taught me back in 1995 when the KOSB were posted in Weeton. Just to say thank you for a great time at a great school.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Great to hear from you after all this time, Mark. You were in my last class before I took over as Headteacher. I hope life is treating you kindly. Best wishes for the future, from Mr Horrocks.

Greetings from Canada!
Hello everyone - what a fantastic website! I am still enjoying life over here in Vancouver with my daughters Abigail - nearly 9 and Jenny aged 7. I am at a new school this year teaching a split class comprising of Kindergarten/Grade 1 students. It is a very busy class with lots of boys! You are very fortunate in the UK to have teaching assistants - Mrs Lomas I miss you!!! We are starting to talk about Fall and Thanksgiving over here. My class are going on a field trip to a pumpkin patch in the next couple of weeks. I will e-mail some photos when I get chance. From Mrs Hoogstins (Class 1 teacher 1994-2003)

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Great to hear from you! Doesn't seem five minutes since your two girls were born. Have you seen the picture of your Friendhip Award? There's a link on our Home page to a picture of the 2009 winner. Pleased to hear you are back teaching the younger ones. We'll have to send Mrs Lomas (from Class 1 and now a grandma!) on loan to you! Our children have also been growing pumpkins - and made pumpkin pie last week. We are now preparing for our Harvest Festival. Everyone sends their best wishes. We look forward to seeing the photos. From Mr Horrocks

Hello,
I went to Weeton way back in 1992 and just looking through your website brought back a rush of memories. I left in 1995 and we moved to Edinburgh where I finished primary school. My Dad then came out of the army and we moved back to his home town of East Kilbride near Glasgow. I live in the city now, I went to Glasgow University and did a MA in English Literature and then an MLitt in Modernities. I work in a theatre now. I still remember Mr Horrocks taking us to see "The Witches" at The Grand in Blackpool. The Tron where I work is somewhat smaller! Mr Horrocks I still want to a writer though, I'm always working away at something. If I ever get my novel published (or even finished!) I'll send you a copy. It's amazing to think of all the things I learned at Weeton that I'll never forget. I still look out my calligraphy pen to write my Christmas cards (but make much less of a mess now) and thanks to you I still recognise Handel's Water Music during the first bar. I don't think I could have managed studying poetry without my knowledge of the Greek myths. I remember you teaching us about LS Lowry and picture we did for the wall at the back of the hall (and I still remember the song!). I think I decided I wanted to be a writer the day you loaned me a copy of "Danny the Champion of the World" and I also make an effort to read "The Mennyms" once a year. I ended up recommending it to my secondary school English teacher and she added it to the 1st year reading list. On my last day at Weeton we had a trip to the factory where they made the Blackpool Illuminations and for a competition I think, we had to put our name and addresses into an envelope at the end of a balloon and release them. All the way in the car up to Scotland I watched for that balloon. Weeton always felt like a home which is so necessary for nomadic children and I feel that I got such a good and varied education and had such a good time that I know it will always be very special to me.
I just want to say thank you Mr Horrocks and best wishes. All the best to all the children as well and their families here and overseas.
Karen Clarkin

REPLY: Thank you so much for your message. It has brought back so many memories for me and reminded me why I went into teaching all those years ago. You were in my last class at Weeton before I became Headteacher here in September 1995. You were our very first Good Citizen Award Winner that year. We are now on the second shield (there's a picture of them both in our awards cabinet on our Home page). Since then 26 others have joined you with the honour. As almost 800 children have joined us since you left, you belong to a very elite club! And I can honestly say, you set a very high standard of good citizenship. You still get a mention each year when our latest award winners are announced. I am so pleased to hear how successful you have been. I look forward to one day reading a copy of your novel - signed in black ink of course! It's really good to know that you still rembember all those things. I'm still a big LS Lowry fan (we always have some Lowry's on display at school) and we still take children to shows at the Grand Theatre. We took the whole school to see The BFG earlier this year. You can see a rather special picture of that Lowry display - pdf link at the foot of our Home page. Should bring back a few more memories! Thanks once again for getting in touch after all these years. With best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

I went to Weeton Primary many years ago and remember Mr Horrocks as being the deputy head then. I went from 1990 to 1992 I think!! Was a great school then and hope all the pupils and staff enjoy their days there as much as me and my sister did. I lived on Cosford Street number 118. Great memories.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Helen. I remember you and your sister! I've checked, and you and Sally joined us in April 1992 from Edinburgh. You left us in 1994. We've had a few changes since then! Hope all is well with you. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hi everyone. I'm really looking forward to Dick Whittington. I'm also looking forward to our assembly on Friday and I've been looking at all the fab pictures. Speak soonx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: By the time you read this we will all have enjoyed the great show ("Oh yes we did!") and your assembly. It was good to see so many parents at your assembly. Very popular! Thank you for singing Happy Birthday to me!!
Mr Horrocks

Hi, it's Lewis and Megan's mam here. I just want to say a great big thank you to all the staff for the great work they did with Lewis and Megan. Lewis really misses Mrs Hodson and he will be leaving a message for her soon. They started their new school yesterday but Lewis says the assemblies at Weeton are much more fun. Once again thank you for everything. Lewis and Megan have come on great with all your help. Lewis and Megan will be in touch soon x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your kind words. We were really pleased with the progress Lewis and Megan made during their time with us. I am sure they will soon adjust to life in their new school. We look forward to hearing their news in the future. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.
PS The children from Lewis and Megan's classes say "Hello".

Hi, so how's it all been doing? Moved again a few months ago. Settled into my new school again. It's hard work. Wish I'd stayed at Weeton. I would have a bigger brain now. Hope everyone's well. Bye xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Great to hear from you again, Lauren. We had heard about you moving. I'll get Mrs Lomas to bottle some Weeton magic to make your brain a bit bigger! In the meantime, keep trying hard and best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks.

Ellie Cain I got your picture yesterday. Thank you very much it was lovely. Daddy is in Afghanistan now. Make sure you keep being a good girl at school and practise your reading with mummy.

Love you princess, Daddy xxxx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Daddy, it's Ellie here! I read your message with Mummy. We hope you are okay. I have ben reading to Mummy. It's a book called The Wedding. I remember being a bridesmaid. I'm off to assembly now. Love from Ellie

Hi, I am now in Year 6! and I have a new teacher to our school who is called Mr Wright and he is teaching us!
I have seen the new entrance beacuse I came down and I had a dancing competition in Blackpool beacuse I now dance! I also saw Rachel and she is still the same. She is still really nice and my best friend !
Nice to talk to you!!
Love Clara Morgan xxx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Clara, it's Rachel here. I enjoyed watching you at the dance competition. Did you win anything? I've now got a new hair style, a lot shorter than it was before. It was my birthday on Monday. I got lots of money! Got to go now because the bell has just gone and I can't be late for my speed test! Best wishes from Rachel.

Hi everyone! I really like drama club with Mrs Dudding and Miss Carter.My dad did great north run at the weekend and finished in 1.39. Happy Birthday Rachel !

REPLY: I just knew it be good! Congratulations to your Dad! Good luck with the London Marathon, Mr B!
Mr Horrocks

Hi guys it's nice to be in touch again. Tell Tom C that only the Year 5 & 6 can play in the school football team. Anyway I do play for an out of school club called Thorpe Rovers FC. Hope first week of school
went well. Mine did. Today I had my first day of practising the African drums and trumpet.
I wil get in touch soon. Bye

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Tom! I've told Tom C about the football. Hope you play well. Classes 6 and 4 walked down to the main road on Tusday to watched the Tour of Britain cyclists go by. Some of Class 4 thought they were going to be famous because the TV cameras were filming as they went by! Drums and trumpet sounds fun! Keep working hard. From Mr Horrocks

Hi Guys,
Thought it was about time I got in touch, I have just been looking at all the end of term awards photgraphs, well done to those who won (nice one David!) and I'm sure the rest of you tried your hardest, there's always next year!
Jessica, I too find it hard to believe you are in Year 6, you all seem to have grown up so fast. It doesn't seem like 5 minutes since the Year 5s were infants, where does the time go?
We are enjoying life in Norfolk near all of our family and the weather is a vast improvement! Tom's school is huge, and we have both noticed that it is not as well looked after as Weeton. Lots of rubbish lying around and grass missing where children take short cuts. I'm sure Mr Horrocks wouldn't stand for it!
I hope you are all enjoying the start of a new school year, I know I am! I will get Tom to send his own message if I can get him to sit down for long enough. Have a great term, miss you all.
Mrs Thacker.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you. I've just read out your message to the children in hymn practice. Tom C wants to know if your Tom is in a football team. It's a sunny morning here (!) and Class 6 are now outside enjoying multi sports with the YMCA. The new term has started off well. Everyone sends their best wishes. Looking forward to hearing from Tom.
Mr Horrocks

Hey guys, me and my sister Ellie Parry miss the school so much. You may remember me, I hope so... So how is everyone, especially Mrs Lomas? Last time I heard she had a bad back. Since I have moved away too, I haven't been able to pop back. I hope to do so.... soon. Write back soon.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Of course we remember you, Callum! And your sister! Thanks for getting in touch again. Mrs Lomas is fine now - and she has a new hair colour! Hope things are going well for you and Ellie. How is the sport going? Mr Lomas said you will always be welcome to call in and see us. Our best wishes to both of you and your Mum and Dad (hope they are both okay), from Mr Horrocks.

Hi guys. We miss you a lot. I have been invited to 2 birthday parties and a bbq and Aidan got invited to 1 party and a bbq. Miss you all lots especially Paige, Sash and Lara.
Love Romany and Aidan xxx
PS Would Paige, Sash and Lara be able to reply back to me like they did with Chloe MCConnell?

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: We miss you too. Hope you have fun at the birthday parties. We are now in Class 6. We started swimming again this week. I'm (Paige) am now in the middle group like you were. Bye for now, Paige and Lara (Sash is on holiday at the moment).

Hello Weeton. I have settled in well at St Andrews and home and I have made some friends. I wish I was back at Weeton though where all my friends are. What are you doing in school?

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Glad to hear you are settling in your new home. I am sure you will soon get used to life in your new school. Cookery Club started tonight for Class 6. They've been making fruit salad and smoothies. Mrs Leech has been doing a display of fish - hanging from the ceiling in Class 6. Looks wonderful. Best wishes to you and all the family (it seems stange not having you all around), from Mr Horrocks

Hi it's me again. I can't believe I'm a Year 6 now. Iit feels really strange! At the end of the year I will be getting a long lasting pupil award. I can still remember my first day,well a little bit! I am going ice skating tomorrow (13 September) . I can't wait because I've just got a new pair of ice skates and I'v never use them! Oh no not again I've got to go to gymnastics. See you on Monday bye!! Love from Jess

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Yes, where have all those years gone!? Hope the skating went well and you manged not to fall over too often! From Mr Horrocks

Hello everybody, Hope you're all enjoying your first week back at school. We are having a fantastic time in Slovakia and it is still lovely and hot. We are seeing all our friends and family here. We have also learnt a bit more Slovak. Missing you all and can´t wait to be back. Love Sophia and Cameron xxx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello from far away Weeton! Glad to hear you are enjoying your extended stay over there. We have missed you during our first week back at school. Happy birthday (yesterday), Sophia! Someone (guess who) will be pulling your hair when you return to Class 4!! Yesterday and today, your Dad has been really busy weeding and tidying the school garden and all the plants and shrubs by the dining hall. A great help.
Anyway, I'll get your friends to send you a message. Have fun! Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Doesn't time fly!? Mrs Lomas says hi and keep working hard - keep up with the Weeton way! Oh, and keep smiling!
Best wishes for your 4th year from Mr Horrocks

Just saying hi. I'm very bored. I can't wait until we go back to school. I've got a big surprise about my look but you'll just have to wait and see. I am coming round on Thursday to pick my jumper and cardigan but I'm wating in the car so nobody will see the new and improved Rachel. See you soon. Bye

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Your new look hair style was outstanding! Very grown up!
Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton. Going into 2nd year of high school. I'm excited. How is everything going? My brother is doing well. He is in P4 as they call it in Nothern Ireland. I'm soon to be a big big brother. My mum is having the baby on September 8th and my dad is coming back on the 7th. Say hello to Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth for me please.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you again, Jacob. It's hard to believe you are in your second year at high school and Josh in P4. I can still picture you welcoming the Mayor when you were in Reception! We are not back at school yet, but I'll pass on your message to Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth. You are in for an exciting time at home. Let us know when you have some more news.
Thanks again for keeping in touch with your Weeton School family and very best wishes to all your family, from Mr Horrocks.

Hi Weeton. Good to speak to you all again. Hope you are all well. I think I've now done 2 or 3 GCSEs now. Having a great holiday. Doing ok in school. I got a B in my maths mocks. Hope I've got that in my real one. Thinking of joining the army next year. Anyway I'm off out now. PS Hi Mrs Lomas. Hope you're well.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Callum. Hope you get some good GCSE results. We are all on holiday at the moment, but I'll pass on your good wishes to Mrs Lomas when she returns to school. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton. I have settled in partly (still lots of boxes). Please give special mentions to Charlie and Andrew T. Wish I was still in Weeton, although it is rather sunny here in Cranwell. Lots of luck. Andrew

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It will seem strange you not being here for the start on the new term. Glad to hear you are settling in. Hope all goes well when you start your new school. It's sunny here in Weeton this morning!! Best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks.

Hello all,

Mrs Donnelly here! I have just had a good look at all the wonderful pictures and stories on the Weeton web page today. I have to say it looks like Weeton is still proving to be a fabulous school. I hope all the staff and children are well and have a lovely summer holiday.
Enjoy your new term. Best wishes Mrs Donnelly

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's only you! Lovely to hear from you, Mrs D. Lots of happy memories of your time here. Hope all is well with you and the family. Just gearing myself up for the start of the new term. Keep smiling! Mr H.

Hi Weeton, Sorry I haven't spoken in ages. Just about to pack for Portugal. Only 3 months left before the baby arrives. I'm excited. It's an October baby. Hope you're all well. Say hello to Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth for me.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: By the time you read this belated reply, hope you had a good time in Portugal. October is a great month for a birthday - that's when mine is! I'll pass on your hello to Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth when I see them soon. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi. How are you? I'm fine. I will soon be going into P5 it seems that my life is going really fast without Weeton. Is Sophia still at Weeton? Can you ask one more little thing to Miss Russel please. Does she know if Amy is still at Weeton?

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Alex in P5! My, you are getting old! Sophia is still here at Weeton, but Amy has moved on. See if you can spot Sophia in one of the pictures of this year's Award Winners. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hello Weeton.
I attended Weeton many, many years ago, if I’m right I was about 5-6 years old, I would have attended the school 1973/74. I have such fond memories of the school. My dad was in the army hence the reason for attending the school. It seems you still have an outstanding reputation; keep up the amazing work.

REPLY: Hello! I've found you in the Admission Register. You arrived on 3rd October 1974, along with your brother, Michael. I see you lived on Butlers Meadow. You were the 1898th pupil to join Weeton School. We are now up to 4864. Mr Wilson was the Headteacher in those days, and Miss Jenkinson (who joined us for our 50th anniversary celebrations last year) was the Deputy Head. You left Weeton in July 1976. If you are ever in the area, do call in and see us. You would be very welcome. Thanks for your message. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone
Thank you for the reply. I saw on your web page who won the Good Citizen Awards. On Tuesday we did our school play. We did Twelfth Night. So bye.
PS Say well done to Jess and Elle and say hi to everyone.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Twelfth Night - I'm impressed. I was once in that play! I'm sure your friends will read your good wishes when they visit our website. Hope the new term goes well for you. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks.

Hi Mr Horrocks. I'm having a great summer holiday but I don't really have a holiday to relax bacause I still have to go to gymnastics. Hope you enjoy your holiday. Bye now. Best wishes from Jess.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: A belated thank you for your message, Jess. Glad to hear you are enjoying your holiday (and all the gymnastics!). I can't believe you will be in Year 6 in just a few weeks. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

I'm missing you guys already, especially Elle C, Sasha and Katlin B, Charlie M, Andrew B and Jake.
Love Romany x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Well you can still keep in touch with all your friends on our website. Andrew left us at the end of term too. Best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks.

I'm moving today. I'll miss you all. Love Romany xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: And we'll miss you too, Romany. Good luck in your new school. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone in Class 3

I like my new school, but I have another week to go before my holidays. Hope you all have a great summer.

Missing you

Hi Guys.
I'm very bored!
A man is over at my house building a patio. It looks greats so far. I am happy for the people who got awards at the award ceremony. Ufortunately I didn't get one for the second year running. On the bright side I'm going to try next year and do my best. I enjoyed doing the leavers' assembly and I am going to miss all of the Year 6s, mostly Shannagh and Courtney but then again all of the Year 6s all have a special place in my heart and I will never forget them. I can't wait until I'm a Year 6. I just love Mrs Lomas teaching me. I have got her a very special presant for being OUTSTANDING while I have been in Year 5. I am sure she is going to keep it up. By the way, remenber Clara Morgan? Well I saw her in Blackpool a few days ago (she says Hi). She was in a dancing competition with thousands of other people. Laura Morgan came second place in the Salsa. I met up with the whole family the next day as well. I still haven't heard if Clara won anything yet, hopefully she did. Goodbye for now.
PS I can't wait for the holidays!!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Well, that message certainly kept you busy! Sorry you didn't win an award again, but do keep trying. Thanks for the news about the Morgan family. Perhaps we will find out if Clara won anything through this Guestbook. Enjoy the last few days of term. I too can't wait for 2pm on Friday!
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone
I found out my SATs results. i got all 4s. I saw the pictures of your sports day. It looked fun. We have not done ours yet. I also visited my new high school. I had the best day. My high school teacher is calles Mr Roberts. How is Mrs Lomas?
I have to go. See you soon. Bye
PS Say hi to Courtney and Shannagh.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Well done on your SATs, Shauna. Mrs Lomas is fine - and is delighted with your results. Glad you like your new school. Good luck when you start in September. Courtney and Shannagh say Hi.

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi this is Charlize. I will be so so sad to leave Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas class on Friday. I am looking forward to getting my award tomorrow.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Congratulations on your TWO awards!
Mr Horrocks

Hi all
I was thinking about my time at Weeton Primary and thought I would send you a message. I miss the school a lot. I'm off school at the minute as I am poorly. I have looked at the site and it looks like you are all still having lots of fun. Is my Romeo and Juliet picture still on the site as I cannot find them. Miss you all loads. Please say hello to Mrs Nolan for me. Callum

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Callum. Hope you will soon be feeling better. To find the Romeo and Juliet pictures, click on Class Pages; go to the bottom of that page and click on 2006-07 class pages. There's a pdf link at the bottom of that page. Hope that helps! It's amazing how many children have left us since then. We break up on Friday. I'm looking forward to a good rest! I'm going to Stratford to see some more Shakespeare. Can't wait! Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas say Hello!
Best wishes to you and your family from Mr Horrocks.

I guess that bit of luck did work! I got a B. Which isn't too bad:) I have my GCSE dance exam going up soon. Fancy giving me some luck for that too?! XX

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lots of Weeton luck is on its way!

Hello all, it's Sian here.
Hope you all remember me. Well, I went to Ireland and I'm back at Carr Hill now. Did my first 2 GCSEs last week. Was scary. How's Mrs Lomas? I miss her.
Weeton is like the best ever.
Love you all :)
SIANY xx

REPLY: Good to hear from you , Sian. It's usually your sister who writes. Hope your GCSE results are good. Mrs Lomas is fine. Been busy rehearsing the Leavers' Assembly with Class 6. Remember that? Best wishes from your Weeton School family.

Hello! Thanks for the luck in my exam, I passed with commendation. My coursework has been handed in too and I'm expected to get an A. Fingers crossed! My mum says hi too x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's amazing how a little good luck from Weeton helps! No, I'm sure you must have worked hard to do so well. Anyway, hope that A comes your way! Hello to your mum from everyone at Weeton!

Hi Weeton. I hope that you're having a super time!
Thank you Mrs Lomas for all that you have done. You are the greatest (wish I could come back!!). I am doing well and now in Yr 8 and have achieved great levels up to 7! All because of you. Hope Class 6 are having a great time and had a great sports day. I know that I enjoyed them!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hasn't this year gone by quickly?! Well done on you achievements this year, Chris. I do hope you will continue to keep in touch when you move. Have a great summer holiday. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hello Weeton. It has been a long time since have visited the school website. I am now in a lesson PE lesson in an IT room and I am designing a poster about the seven values of the London 2012 Olympic games. I can find enough information to make it really good. I was also wondering who has won the Public Speaking Award.
See you soon, Ryan Wilson.

_______________________________________________________

REPY: Good to here from you again, Ryan. Our Public Speaking Competition is next week, so watch this space! Best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks.

Hi Weeton, how is everyone doing? I'm hoping to come down and see you in the next 3 months. I'm very busy at the moment! I have all my course work due in, and my ballet exam on Saturday, very nervous! But it would be fantastic to see you all again. See you all soon x

_______________________________________________________

Hi Weeton
I am waiting for the results for my KS3 exams and then I pretty much start my GCSEs. It feels not that long ago that I finished primary school and now I have nearly finished school altogether. Bye for now.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you again, Daniel. Hope your results are good. We are just waiting for the KS2 results. Do you remember what that was like? Mrs Lomas sends her best wishes. From Mr Horrocks.

Hi everyone

Two days ago I found out I will be going in Upton High School and I will be in form 7WR with Mr Roberts. I go for the day on the Tuesday. We have been doing the 50p grow all week where you sell stuff and make money and make your own stall. The money goes towords the new stage we just got. See you all soon, Shauna.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Shauna. Hope your visit to your next school went well. Mrs Lomas has just told Year 6 their SATs results. Hope you were pleased with yours.
Mr Horrocks

Hello Mr Horrocks and everyone at Weeton,
I am glad to hear that Mrs Lomas is getting better. Luke's hand is getting better. He has had his stitches out but still a scar left.

I had sports day today (Mon 22 June) and it was really fun but the bad thing is that I had fractured my toe a couple of days ago and I had to do sports.
I forgot to tell you about my residential trip that iI went to. It was only about 5 miles away from my house but it felt like I was the other side of the world.
Anyway, we did lots and lots of activities. We got to jump off this small cliff thing into this big pool of water. It was really fun, but the only bad thing is that the water was really cold and dirty (the showers were freezing cold) but the good news was that we were only away for four days so when I got back home I think I stayed in the bath for a good hour.

Tonight at 7 o'clock I am going to a high school to meet the teachers that I will spend the rest of my childhood with so a bit excited but on the other hand I am very nervous, so speak to you soon.

PS Rhiannon B will be coming over to stay at my house on 18th July so I am looking foward to that.

PPS Send all my love to everyone at Weeton including the teachers, and say a big hello to Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for all your news, Chloe. We read all of it but I've just put part of it here on the website (there was enough to start a Guestbook of your own!!). Anyway, it's good to hear from you. Hope the visit to your new school went well. Mrs Lomas saw Rhiannon not so long ago. We are coming to the end of yet another school year. All looking forward to the summer holidays. We've had amazing weather this week for all our sports. The pictures on the Real Radio website might remind you of Weeton Sports Day! Best wishes from your Weeton School family.

Hi, sorry I have not spoken for a while. I have been so busy with exams and school trips. How are you all? I went to Dublin Zoo on Sunday and it was amazing. It's so close to summer and I can't wait. We break up next week and I'm going to England to see family. My dad comes back in August and I can't wait I will be so happy to see him. I wish I could come see you all. I miss Weeton so much. I must go as I'm in an English lesson. Bye.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Our you allowed to visit our school website during English lessons?! I suppose it is writing. Anyway, enjoy the summer break when it comes, Aimee. Our best wishes to your family, from everyone at Weeton School.

hi guys (Sash, Caitlin, Paige, Lara). I'm going to go to my cousin Lilly's 5th birthday party tomorrow. We are going swimming (I love swimming). Love Romany x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hope the party went well and you enjoyed your swim!

Hi everyone
Yesterday I went to Chester and did javelin running and I came first. My friend got a gold medal and my teacher Mr Graham was really
nice to me when I got 2nd in javelin. In the relay we came 2nd as well. We had to stand in the rain and thunder.

Got to go. See you later bye

Much love, Lara X

You and Rohit arrived exactly 30 years ago and you were pupil numbers 2491 and 2491. We are now up to 4860 - so a lot of children have come and gone over the years. It also mentions that you went to Carr Hill and your family returned to India in October 1982. I don't know where you are living now, but if you are ever in the area, do call in and see us!

I had a great start at my new school. I only had half a day because
there was a mistake in the letter. The mistake was that I had last year's letter.

I have made some great friends. I have got recorders on Tuesday,
swimming on Wednesday and then Spanish on Friday.
And my subject is plants.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: A belated thank you for your message. It's good how you seem to meet up with old friends again. The whole school went to see THe BFG at the Grand Theatre just before we broke up for Easter. The giant we made for Jack and the Beanstalk (do you remember that, Clara?) is now back in the hall, pretending to be the BFG!! You can just see him in the St George's Day picture on the Home page. Best wishes to both of your families. Keep smiling!
From Mr Horrocks

Hello Mr Horrocks,
I hope Mrs Lomas is getting better and Mr Thornley isn't getting bored form carrying Mrs Lomas's things around.
I think it was last year but I saw Lewis with his brothers, Mum and his Dad. II hope he enjoyed it over here in Northern Ireland.
As I have said, my Dad is away in Afghanistan at the moment he has been for about THREE moths now and they get a break in the middle and the soldgers are away for about SIX months so my Dad will be coming home at the end of this month, so we are nearly there. He gets 2 weeks off so he is taking me out shopping. I am looking forward to that.
Anyway, Luke sends a hello to Mrs Lomas and to you Mr Horrocks.
I have to go now so I hope you all enjoy your Easter
and I hope you get time to email me back.
From Chloe Weatherstone x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY (better late than never!): Mr Thornley has been cutting the grass for us, because the men who used to do it just stopped - without giving us any notice. Hope Luke's hand is getting better. Also hope you had a great time with your Dad. We had a surprise visit from Chandler today (he would have been in Class 3 here at Weeton). His Mum was telling us how everyone is over there. We do still miss you all. Bye for now, from Mr Horrocks.

Dear Weeton Primary,
It's very nice to see that Mrs Lomas is still there and Mr Horrocks. I am in Yr 9 now and I'm going into Yr 10 this summer. I'm looking at my report now and noticed I am getting 5's and 6's and that is mostly because of the hard work Weeton Primary have put into helping me. I have missed Yr 5 and 6 mosly because I had the support from Mrs Lomas. If it is no problem Mr Horrocks, I would like you to show this message to Mrs Lomas. That would be very kind of you. Thank you. Melissa. x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Mrs Lomas whooped with joy when she read your message! You probably heard her! It is good to hear from you, Melissa. The Good Citizen Award - which you were awarded in 2006 - is in the new trophy cabinet in our new entrance area. You can see a picture of it on our Home page. I hope your sisters are all well. Keep working hard. Mrs Lomas is proud of you. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.
PS Sorry for the delay in replying.

Hello again Weeton,
I am glad to hear that Mrs Lomas is better. I hope Shauna will be ok in her new school. I am happy to hear that Mr Thornley is ok and very pleased to hear from my letter. Me and Lauren are out and about within the camp all the time. Most of the weekends we are having sleepovers.
Now that you metion Lewis, how is he? I had seen him over here quite i bit ago. I think he was just visiting.
Luke has hurt his hand really badly and this is how. He was running home when he triipped up on a kerb and fell. He landed on his Knuckles and he thought it was grass but it was concrete and he has a big, big cut on his hand and he said that he could see his bone. He got 3 stitches.
Anyway, I have to go and get ready. Bye

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lewis is fine. Still enjoying his sport. Lukes accident sounds like an episode from Holby City! Hope his hand soon heals. Bye for now, from Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton School
I just want to say I hope you're having a nice weekend and today I am going to make my Easter egg. I hope I win!!!
I really really can't wait until the BFG and until we break up.
See you on Monday.

Hello everyone,
I hope that you all had a great time when you went to Blackpool Zoo!! I'm not at school at the moment because we've broken up for Easter already (which was last Friday)!! we've all got 4 weeks off school because we work longer hours and 6 days a week!! Mrs Lomas will be pleased to know that I'm top of my set for Maths and I've got a great teacher called Miss Clarke. When we go back we'll be doing a lot of Rounders which i'm really looking forward to!!
Right I'd better go now and help my mum with tea!

Mrs Dudding brought her new daugter into school yesterday. Mrs Dudding is hoping to be back with us again in June. Anyway, have a lovely Easter. Hope your Mum and Dad are both keeping well. Best wishes from your Weeton School Family.

Hey Weeton, hope everyone is all right. Say hello to everyone for me and tell Mrs Lomas especially and Mrs Leech. Also, what was the matter with Mrs Lomas. Thanks a lot.

REPLY: Hello Callum! Thanks for your message. Mrs Lomas had a bad back but she is fine now, thanks. Mrs Leech is well and is still doing lots of wonderful art with Classes 6 and 4, also with a group of parents on a Thursday morning. We hope all is well with you - how is Ellie getting on at school? We still have her photo a the wall, so she is still "with us". Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Of course I remember SATs Boostering!!! I loved the experience
(sometimes anyway)! I hope that all seven of the Year 6's get excellent results! All the best Tiffany xx

Hiya Guys !!
I'm so sorry it took me this long to to write back. My sister just reminded me. Are you learning anything new in your topic? I'm learning about plants. My homework was FUN for once..... only kidding! We had to plant a runner bean and sunflower. Which one do you think is going to grow first? I think the runner bean. I'm missing you all. I'll be coming back down soon. How are my friends Shas, Paige and Lara? Just a quick hello to Mr Goth. Missing you too. Write back soon.
Love Chloe XX

REPLY: Hello again, Chloe! Class 4 had an Egyptian day last week. We all went to see The BFG at the Grand Theatre yesterday. In the afternoon we had an Egg Hunt - organised by the School Council - on Woodland Walk. We had a great time and the sun shone all day. Hope you have a happy Easter.
From all your Weeton friends.
PS Runner bean!

Hello everyone. I'm missing everyone still. I heard from Courtney. Mrs Lomas has had a bad back. I hope it's better now. I'm really busy preparing for my SATs and I think I'm level 5 in reading comprehension and an early level 5 in science. I'm really proud of that! It's nice and sunny here and I'm really enjoying myself BUT I still miss everyone at Weeton! I hope you will reply soon. Love Sophie x

Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton PS

Good to hear from you too, I bet some people were very confused when Mr Horrocks read my letter out aloud. I am glad Mr Thornley is ok and very pleased to hear from me. Could you tell Mrs Lomas that I said I hope she gets better soon but I am glad too hear that she is coping. I am glad you had fun at Blackpool Zoo. Ii wish I was there to see all you all and to spend time with you all. I hope you are all and Mrs Leech are having fun with your art work.YES I do rememeber that book, thank you for reminding me. Luke is doing very well and he is thinking about doing his A levels but he does want to thank you all for your help in his education and he is very good at art and he wants too become a tatto artist. All the very best wishes to everyone at Weeton Primary School. You will see me soon because I am coming over very soon but I'm not sure when because my dad is away at the moment and we are not sure when he is getting back, so when we are for sure when he's coming back then I will contact you all in some way.
Love to you all.

PS I felt very excited when I saw the letter was from Shauna and Courtney. It warmed me up so much.
I can't wait to see you all and Lauren Wright sends her very best to you all and she says hi to Mrs Lomas.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello again Chloe! Since your last message, Shauna has left Weeton - only Lewis is now here from your original class. Mrs Lomas is much better and now has a trolley to carry all her books and marking around (to save her back). She is still busy boostering with Year 6. Mrs Leech is running an art workshop for parents every Thursday morning. They are doing some lovely work, as you can imagine. Say hello to Lauren from us at Weeton!
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton this is Rachel Here on my new Laptop it's very different to my old computer. I just want to say that I'm really excited to see the BFG. It's my favourite Roald Dahl book. I'm enjoying our music lessons on Thursay with Miss Hargest. I'm playing the Clarinet. I have one at my house.
Speak to you soon!!

REPLY: THanks for your message, Rachel. Hope you soon get used to your new laptop. I'm looking forward to seeing the BFG (again) too!
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone. How are you doing? Say hi to Mrs Lomas for me please.
I'm enjoying school at the moment but I go into Yr 8 in May. Hodgson go up a year early. Yesterday I was in a netball tournament. It was great !
Well see you for now. Say bye to Mr Goth and Mrs Lomas for me.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Amber. Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth say hello! We've got a couple of netball matches here at school tonight. Yesterday, our football team played in the tournament at Carr Hill. They played really well and ended us as runners up in the small schools' final. We are really proud of them.
Hope Sam is enjoying college.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi,
Just thought I'd drop a line or two or three or maybe even four!
Anyway how is everything back at Weeton? I heard that the trip to Blackpool Zoo was a success! It's my birthday in 9 days (and it's Mrs Kays) I will already be 12!!! As normal I am still missing Weeton terribly but Kirkham Grammar is great! I've been in many of the concerts and have had three excellent grade cards! I am loving my Maths still and even got stopped in the corridor, with my friend Rachel, by my maths teacher to say that I was a brilliant member of the class. I also love French Drama and all of my Sciences (Plus all of the rest)! I am involved in many of the clubs and societies at school and enjoy Hockey, Netball and even my Cross Country lessons!
If there is any new news please say so!
Plus a big HI to the whole of the school! I hope that you haven't forgo me yet!!!

Tiffany C.Toomey xx

Keep in touch.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks and Mrs Lomas

Attended Weeton School between 1987 - 1990 along with my brother and cousins, my father was in the army at the time. Am 27 now. Seems like years ago but still remember the times well. Mr Horrocks was a teacher at the time, would have only just started before we left but can still remember him.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It was years ago! Thank you for getting in touch. I came to Weeton in April 1989 as Deputy Head. I've found you in the school's admission book. You were pupil number 3301; we are now up to 4856! I see you arrived in November 1986 from Northern Ireland and moved to Germany in February 1990. Your brother joined Class 1 in 1989, so he wasn't with us long. Some things never chage at Weeton! Was Emma your cousin? She was in my class. If you are ever in the area, do call in and see us.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. I've really missed you all. I'm doing really great at St Michael's. On Tuesday 10th February I got picked for the Gala and i saw Rachel C, Elle B, Jessica S, Ryan P, Lewis M and Tom. You all swam well. So well done. I have to go now. Bye bye.
From Stephanie

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Stephanie. We are pleased you are enjoying life at St Michael's. It's good when you can still meet up with some of your old Weeton friends. They all enjoyed the Swimming Gala - and we were really pleased with the result. Hope Callum is well. Keep working hard.

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Thinking of you all,

REPLY: Hi Chloe, it's Shauna and Courtney here!

Good to hear from you. Mr Horrocks read out your message in assembly this morning. Mr Thornley was really pleased you mentioned him. Mrs Lomas has got a bad back at the moment, but she is coping. Last Tuesday we went to the zoo and it was really, really fun! Mrs Leech is teaching our class this afternoon. We still have that book we made in Class 3, when we said nice things about each other. Do you remember it? That's all for now. Hope Luke is okay. Best wishes to all the family. See you soon, love Shauna and Courtney

Hiya guys. Are you ok? I hope you are. I am better now. I bet Blackpool Zoo was so COOL. I would have loved to have come. Our school had a disco on Friday. It was really FUN! What have you been doing (Lara, Paige, Sasha)? I'm doing fine.
Love Chloe xx

Hi everyone at Weeton,

I'm sorry I haven't talked to you recently. I have been busy! Say hello to Mrs Lomas & Mr Goth.
I don't know if you would remember Deborah Heys but she is moving to where I live.
I got my SATs results and I got all 4s. I have started Wyedean and love it. I went on a PGL trip at the start of Wyedean and made lots of friends. I am doing great at school! Laura is going to Spain in the summer as part of her school work. I really miss Weeton. I am glad to hear about the report, My mum was really happy for you! Well done. Make sure Weeton has fun at Blackpool Zoo.
My best subject is art and I've had letters home saying how good I am at it. But my worst subject is French!
Nice to talk.
Bye bye
Katie xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Katie. How time flies! Well done on your SATs results. Mr Goth and Mrs Lomas were delighted for you. Of course we remember Deborah! I always remember her Mum carrying Deboarah's brother around school on her shoulders!!

We are not surprised to hear you are doing well in art. Keep trying with the French though!

We are all looking forward to our day out at the Zoo. Let's hope the sun shines!

Hi everyone. How are you? Got my netball tour in March and my dad goes to Afghanistan in March aswell. In October I'm going to France with school and my dad comes back from Afghan then! School is great. Doing cross country at school and it's so exhausting. I can't remember if I told you about America, but it was amazing. Going again in December with Jack Burney. It's so cold and windy over here, How is the weather in England? Well I have to go because have to be up early in the morning because of school. Talk soon!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: What a busy life you lead! Cross country was probably my least favourite activity at school! It's been cold, wet and windy here - although the sun actually shone today! See if you can get Jack to send us his news - we haven't heard from him for a while. Keep smiling! Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hi guys. What have you been doing at school? I'm ill at the minute. That is so bad but guess what, this is bad, it's my birthday tomorrow. So that was my birthday present from me!. Are you okay Lara, Sasha and Paige? Missing you so much. I wish I could be down for my birthday. Anyway I think I'll have a good birthday here. Missing you so much Mr Goth. You are the best teacher ever. Bye.

Hi Mr Horrocks,

If you are in contact with Mrs Duckworth still, could you please pass on my E-Mail address. The last time I posted, I couldn't find an e-mail with her details on!

It'd be great to speak to her again, and I hope all is well with yourself!

Dale

REPLY: Hello again Dale! I'll certainly pass on your email address to Mrs Duckworth again and ask her to reply. Hope everything is going well with you. Everyone is busy and happy here at Weeton Primary - especially after our recent Ofsted inspection! Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hi it's me. I am having a lovely time at my new school. It is bigger than Weeton and has an upstairs! I am in Year 2 now and I am in the Lower School choir. How are all the teachers and children? I miss you all lots. How are you Mr Horrocks? How has the building work gone?

Hi Weeton. How are you all? Can't believe we have done our first Christmas without you. Things are really good. Did you ever finish the buliding work? I remember Mr Horrocks getting all excited about it . How is Mrs Lomas? I miss you teaching me. I also miss waving to you in the morning because it made your day and mine. I used to get on that bus happy. Got to go now but you have a great website so we can keep in contact. Bye. Take care. Brad and Natasha xx

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you both again. Good to know how you are getting on. Yes, all the building work has been finished. I'm typing this in my fantastic new office! Mrs Lomas is well and as busy as usual. Keep trying hard at school and don't forget to smile, Brad! Best wishes from Mr Horrocks and Mrs Lomas.

Hello everyone at sunny Weeton. It's been over a year now since we left but we still keep you all in our thoughts. I have just been reading all the notes left in the guestbook and it's so good to hear how everyone is getting on. We have just moved again leaving Osnabruck behind and are now in JHQ. Shannon and Kian love their new school but Weeton still holds a place in their hearts. Kian wants to know if you have got a new Little Mr Horrocks yet. Lots of love to all the teachers especially Miss Nolan and Miss Russel, and Shannon sends love to Mrs Lomas. Bye for now, hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you again. Doesn't time fly! Pleased to hear you both like your new school. Well Kian, you still hold the title of Little Mr Horrocks! Doctor Who may be able to regenerate, but no one could better our original Little Mr Horrrocks! When we have Best Efforts, I still think of Kian's reaction when two children from the same family come out to the front! Anyway, keep in touch and happy new year to all the family from everyone at Weeton.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. Happy New Year to those who didn't know that I came down to Weeton for 3 days. Sorry to those people who didn't get to speak to me.

Congratulations on your ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted report. The whole ‘school family’ should take great pride in this fantastic achievement. When I spoke to Mr Onyon, he was particularly impressed with how polite, hard working and well behaved the children he met were and with the warm welcome he received from them. The inspection and report confirmed the opinion of my fellow governors and I, that the dedication and professionalism of the whole team at Weeton produce an outstanding level of care and education. I hope you all enjoy ‘celebrating’ your well deserved success.

Regards,
Mr Tristan Bushell
Chair of Governors

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for all your support - along with the rest of the governors - and all the time you have given to Weeton School since you joined our Governing Body. We really do appreciate it. The children were excited to learn on Friday that we are planning to celebrate by taking the whole school to Blackpool Zoo for a day in January!
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Have you decided what the Christamas production will be yet? Are you going to put pictures on the webpage because it would be cool to see who has the main part! Got to go now.
Love Abigail (former pupil)

Hey everyone, how are you? I can't wait until 11th December as I'm off to Orlando for 2 weeks and on 16th December I'm swimming with dolphins! I'm so excited. We fly back to Ireland Christmas night. Tell Mrs Lomas I am going on tour in March with school for netball. We are going to Nottingham. School is great. Got tests coming up in 2 weeks, I'm so scared. I got my report from Rockport and I got 8 A's and 7 B's. At school my worse subject is French because we are expected to learn it really quickly and we get French tests every Wednesday. Look at me babbling on, how is everyone? Mrs Lomas was the best teacher I ever had. She is awesome. Well I'm going. Bye.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: What a lot of exciting news, Aimee. We are all very jealours of your trip to Orlando. And Mrs Lomas is delighted with the netball. All the skills you picked up at Weeton have obviously helped! Well done on your fantastic grades. Keep trying with the French! Everyone here is fine - starting to think about our Christmas production. Our school is being inspected this week - so we are in for a busy time! Wish us good luck!
With best wishes from Mr Horrocks and the amazing Mrs Lomas!

Hi everyone
Did you all have a great holiday, I sure did. You know that it is nearly Christmas. Are you doing anything special like a play? We're not. I think we're just dressing up our tree, which will probably be quite fun because I think we have to make all the decorations. In PE today we did some Indian dance moves and it kind of reminded me of when we had our special Indian day at Weeton, were we came to school dressed up in Indian clothes. The dance moves were really, really hard. I wish that I could just come there on Tuesdays and do PE with Mrs Leech. It's so relaxing when she does yoga. I wish my teacher could do yoga. Well that's all I think I have to say. Love Chloe xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for all your news, Chloe. It's good to hear what you are doing when you move to a new school. We are doing a Nativity this Christmas - on our fantastic new stage! We can't wait for it to arrive! It will have blue curtains and we'll be able to set the stage out in lots of different ways, depending on the show. A lot better than those ancient stage blocks we had! Mrs Leech sends her best wishes - and is pleased you still remember the relaxing yoga.
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton! Just had a look at the new pics. Can't believe how much the school has changed! We are enjoying Germany, settled in really well. I'm doing football and rugby at school. Leona is doing really well with her reading and maths. We have got lots of friends here but still miss our friends in Weeton. Can you say a big hello to Stevie and David in Mr Goth's class. Tell Mr Goth I still wish he was my teacher. We will keep checking the site to see if anything exciting is happening! Love Blake and Leona x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's good to hear from you again. We are pleased to know you have both settled in Germany and enjoying school. Miss Russel is pleased about your reading and math, Leona - keep trying hard! And Mr Goth is flattered by your comment, Blake! Along with all youir friends, Mr Goth says hello! We have recently ordered a new stage, which includes seating for the choir, ready for our Nativity. It's going to be a whole school production this year, so watch out for pictures of all your friends.
With best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hello! How is everyone? Something happen yesterday. It was freaky. I went to see my new boarding school and William Ponting was there. I'm going to the same boarding school as Willam Ponting! From Ellie

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's lovely to hear from you, Ellie. Everyone is still busy and doing lots of interesting things here at Weeton. You wouldn't recognise the place after all our building work this year. Fancy you meeting up with William again. Weeton children really do get around! Keep working hard and let us know how things go at your new school.
Best wishes to all the family from Mr Horrocks

Hello to all of the teachers in Weeton. I haven't been in touch for a while now because I have been very busy with football and I have been signed on for a team called Glentouran. They are the top team in Northern Ireland and I am looking forward to playing for them. I'll see you for now. Goodbye.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It was worth waiting for - with such good news about the football. Mr Goth and Mrs Lomas are delighted. They obviously trained you well here at Weeton! Good luck with your matches and best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks.
PS Hope Olivia is still smiling brightly!

Hello to everyone at Weeton!
I was just sat here bored on the internet and thought I'd have a look at your website. I can't believe the school's turned 50 now! I still have the mug from the 40th birthday celebration, hahaa.

I was wondering if the school had any performances or shows any time soon? I'd love to come see how the school's changed and say hello :]

Anyway, I'd love to hear back from you.
From Leigh.

REPLY: Long time, no hear! It's good to hear from you again, Leigh. You would be very welcome to come and see our Christmas show (see Calendar Plus for details!). However, you are more than welcome to come along and see us before then. Just phone first to make sure everyone is here. We might even find you one of our 50th birthday mugs to go with your 40th!

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton,
We have just seen all the photos on the site and it was lovely to see Ethan, Jack and Aidan, who I miss very much.
I have made loads of new friends and love it at my new school. Cattercik is cool, we have lots of parks to go to after school and have collected lots of conkers...
My writing is coming on a treat and will be doing my own list to Santa this year. Take care everyone. Love Frankie xxx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Frankie! It's good to hear from you. Miss Nolan and (little) Mrs Lomas are so pleased to hear you are enjoying your new school. The other week, Mr Goth's class got some conkers. They played with them as we all sang "Conkers" during Friday afternoon assembly! Glad to hear your writing is coming along well - don't make that list too long for Santa this year. Anyway, keep working hard and keep visiting the website.
Best wishes to your family from Mr Horrocks.

Hello
Are you all OK? I have got a maths test today. AHHHHH. I am so scared. I will come and see you as soon as possible. When do you break up for the half term?

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Rhi! We are all back at school now! Hope your maths test went well. Call in and see us whenever you are around.
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone. I'm missing you loads, especially all my friends and Mrs Lomas. I've settled in my new school really well. I've made lots of new friends. I hope everyone is working hard in Year 6. I am glad to be starting in Year 6. My class isn't mixed with Year 5, it's just Year 6. I hope everyone has enjoyed the school's 50th anniversary. I heard about it on the phone from Courtney. It sounded like real fun. Missing you loads. Love from Sophie xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello! We are all glad that you have settled in nicely. Mrs Lomas told me to send you her love. We are all missing you too. We are all working hard ready for our SATs. Hope you are too. From all of Class 6 and Courtney.

Hello to my Weeton family
You know when I said I am going on my trip, well I went today. It was well COOL !! I went to Portsmouth. I went to see half of the Mary Rose which is still standing and we went on the HMS Victory. Guess what - Henry III built the Mary Rose in Portsmouth. It was the best day of my life. Are you still learning about the Romans or something else? I feel a bit more settled now. Still walking around with a smile on my face. Well I am most of the time. Enjoy your half term teachers, as well as everyone else. Write back soon. Missing you all loads.
Love Chloe xx
PS Hi to all my mates!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Chloe! You certainly had a great day out. Lucky you, seeing the Mary Rose. Too far for us to visit from Weeton! I'll get your friends to send a message to you very soon.
Mr Horrocks
PS We all enjoyed our half term break. I went to Stratford and saw Hamlet and Love's Labour's Lost (starring David Tennant) and A Midsummer Night's Dream. That's what I call - well cool!!

Hello Weeton School.
I am enjoying my new class with Mrs Lomas and I enjoy doing art with Mrs Leech. I love the new school now that it's finshed. I enjoyed the Harvest festival. It was great.
Good bye for now.
Love Rachel Carter

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: We are pleased to hear you are enjoying school, Rachel. We've all had a really busy half term. Have a good holiday!
Mr Horrocks

I would just like to wish you all a happy 50th birthday . I saw the story in the Gazette last week. It was the best school Andrew has ever attended and we really miss that. Healthwise he is doing really well. He has just past the two year post diagnosis. He still picks up every bug going but he is doing really well (can you believe it has been two years - where has the time gone?).
Anyway, well done again on reaching your 50th anniversary. You have such a brilliant school. We miss you all and thank you so much for all the kind things you did for Andrew when he was there.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It is so good to hear from you! We often wonder how Andrew is getting on - so thank you for getting in touch. I know Mrs Donnelly (who now lives down in Portsmouth) will be delighted to read your message when she visits our website. Time has flown by! Thank you for your 50th birthday good wishes. We've had a lovely time celebrating. Do keep in touch - Andrew will always be part of the Weeton school family.

With best wishes to all the family,
from Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone. I am just dropping you a line to say Hi ! I've been looking at all the photos of your exciting Celebrations. It was great to see everyone again. You know I told you about my hockey match well..... I sort of got injured . One of the girls slipped as I was about to tackle her and she went flying backwards and her hockey stick hit my mouth. Luckily I had my mouthguard in otherwise all my front teeth would have been knocked out !! It's really badly bruised but It's started to heal now!! Thank goodness. Speak soon xxx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: What an experience you've had! It almost warrants a headline on our home page! In fact, I think it does! Hope you soon recover, Abigail.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks and all your friends at Weeton

Hi it's Amber. How's your new playground? I'm going to play a netball match tomorrow. It will be my second match. I'm in hockey club too. I use some of Mrs Lomas's sayings everyday. They're helping me a lot. My report comes out next week . They are going to grade me UH OH. Well, got to go. Speak to you soon, bye.
PS I keep seeing Sam Clegg (hope you remember her). Oh yes - how's Mrs Dudding's baby doing? Has she had it yet? Hope she has, bye

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Mrs Lomas is delighted to know that her useful sayings are still helping you. Also pleased to hear about the netball and hockey. Of course we remember Sam - brialliant mathematician! Mrs Dudding's baby hasn't arrived yet. Any news will be on this website! Hope you get a good report.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hello Mr Horrocks and all of the teachers at Weeton School. I haven't been in touch for about 1 whole year. Now finally I have found the website again. I am now living in Bilsthorpe near Mansfield with my mum, Lianne, Sheriden and my really annoying brother called Joel! As you will know ,I have moved around millions of times before and we are staying in Mansfield for good now (hopefully). I'm in a high school now called Joseph Whitaker and have lots more new friends. I am really missing Weeton School and it was the best primary school I have ever been to! I think all of my friends have now moved to Northern Ireland. I have asked my dad who lives in Ireland aswell to get me all of their email-adresses so I can get in touch with them! Could you say a big hello to all of the teachers who have taught me especially Mrs Kirkham. Ask her if she remembers getting out of her car and giving my brother a present when he was a little baby! I hope I will be able to get in touch with you now. My mum will be sending a comment very soon to say hello. See you later!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Great to hear from you again, Mitchell. Your message has really brightened my day (I've had Ofsted on my mind a lot recently!) I'll certainly mention to Mrs Kirkham about that present for Joel. It's just the kind of thing I can see her doing - so thoughtful. She still teaches here every so often, and was here to help us celebrate the school's 50th birthday. By the way, the Braithwaite royal tree is still growing! You'll all have to come and see it - and us! - one day. In the meantime, keep working hard, and best wishes to all the family.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. How are you all? Miss you all lots and definitely Mrs Lomas and definitely Miss Dudding and all the other staff who helped me lots. Thank you so much for the support that you all gave me. Say hi to all my friends. Miss you lots. Bye xx

_______________________________________________________

RELPY: Hello from everyone at Weeton. THank you for your message, Xianetia. Hope school is going well with you. How is Brandon getting on? All your friends say Hi!
Mr Horrocks

No, I haven't got my SATs results yet . Can you tell me on here. I don't care if everyone sees them!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: I've sent them to you privately, Kovac. Let me know if you haven't received them yet. Hope you are pleased with them - we are!
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone. I really enjoyed seeing you all on Friday. Guess what - I have made it into the Hockey team and we are playing in a match tomorrow. I am going back to Northern Ireland and I am going to see Aimee and Lauren - Yay!! Speak soon Love Abigail (former pupil)

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It was a lovely surprise to see you and your mum on Friday. You looked so smart! Well done on the hockey team. Hope your first match goes well. Keep in touch. Best wishes from Mrs Lomas and all your friends.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone,
I am now in boarding school and it’s going well. Hope everything is all right. From William Ponting

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Great to hear from you, William. We had heard that you were at boarding school now. Pleased to hear that you are enjoying it. We remembered you and Edward last week during the service to celebrate the school's 50th birthday. Someone from Class 6 carried a flag from the Saudi Arabia (25 different flags altogether - from all the countries children had joined us from or moved to over the last 50 years). So there we are - we still remember you both! Hope your mum, dad and brother are all well and happy. Keep working hard!
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone at Weeton. Sorry I have not spoken to you recently. I have been so busy with boarding school but I'm really pleased with myself as I'm in the netball team and on Friday it was my birthday and the best present was my iPod touch which is what I am using right now to write this as it has the Internet on. It is so cool. Well anyway, I have to go as I have to be up early as I have to go to school.

_______________________________________________________

RELPY: Good to hear from you again, Aimee. A belated Happy Birthday! It was mine the day before yours! Everyone sang Happy Birthday to me at the end of our service to celebrate Weeton's 50th birthday. Each class made me a great big card, so it was a very special day. I didn't get an iPod touch though! Hope the netball goes well. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks.

Hello everyone. Missing you loads. I might visit soon and you can tell all my friends to e-mail me.
From Olivia White

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hope all is going well at your new school, Olivia. The School Council is holding an election soon, to find a replacement for you. It will have to be someone good, to be as good as you! We look forward to seeing you sometime in the future. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks and all your friends at Weeton.

Hello to all the staff and pupils at Weeton Primary School.
I am missing you all so much. I have settled down in my new school. Guess what my TOPIC is - the Tudors! Next week we are trying real Tudor food and writing with a feather and actually dipping it in INK. How cool is that! The thing I am missing is my friends. I miss Lara, Paige, Sasha and all my other friends. I love my house. It's this place Warminster. It's so big and scary. The thing is for me is I've got my family still havent I. I'll have to go now bye. Love Chloe x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you so soon, Chloe. Fancy your topic being the Tudors! Hope the writing goes well! I am sure you will eventually settle down properly - it's sure to take time. As you say - you are with your family - and they are the most precious people to be with. So keep smiling and keep in touch with us - your Weeton School family! Best wishes from Mr Horrocks.

Hi everyone. Hope your all ok. Tell Miss Toomey there are teachers still at Kings that remember her. Hope you all ok. Write back soon.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Kovac. I hope you received your SATs results - well done! We are still waiting for the official results for writing. Best wishes to all your family from all of us at Weeton, from Mr Horrocks

Hi Everyone!
Thought I'd just let you know how well Tiffany is doing. She has already had 10 grade A's and 7 Grade B for her homework. So not a bad start !:-) Let's hope she can keep it up. She is complaining a little bit about the amount of homework she is getting though.
I hope you have taken loads of pictures of your Weeton's got Talent!!
Can't wait to see you all dressed up!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Pleased to hear that all is going well for Tiffany. I'll be getting some pictures of our birthday celebrations on the website as soon as I can.

Hi Weeton, it's Daniel.
I've started my third year in high school now and make my choices this year. Can't wait to make some timetable changes. Hope everyone is well.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: We can't believe you are in your third year! How time flies! We have all had a great week celebrating 50 years of Weeton School. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. I'm doing well at high school. Abigail's coming to Weeton on Friday or Saturday.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Abigail came to see us on Friday, when we were all dressed in out Fifties gear! She looked really smart in her school uniform and with her new hairstyle. Pleased to hear you are enjoying high school, Amber.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone
It is Rhi, your old pupil. Just a quick one to tell you that I do not live in Northen Ireland anymore. I go to Carr Hill High School and I love it so much. I am so glad to be back and wish to see you in the future. By your ex pupil Rhiannon Budd

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: You have no excuses not to visit us soon! Just wait until you see all the changes here at Weeton. You won't recognise us! Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

To Mr Horrocks and all the team
It is with GREAT regret that I am unable to attend the birthday celebration on Thursday as I am committed to work at my current school. I will be there in heart and spirit, if not physically! My ten years or more that I spent at Weeton were amongst the happiest I have ever spent in education. It was the most fantastic team to work with and I will always cherish the memories - especially the amount of laughter! It is so lovely to read the messages from past pupils and learn about all their achievements. You know that I will always keep in touch and I will try to visit as soon as possible.
With love, Jo Duckworth

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Sorry you can't be with us on Thursday. I was hoping you could have entertained us with one of your wonderful sing songs! Happy days! Anyway, thanks for your message and we look forward to seeing you back at Weeton again soon.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks and the team

Hey everyone :) How are You All?
Me, Jordan, Aimee and Jack are all In Rockport Boarding School now. We miss everyone and miss you lots.

REPLY: Good to hear from you. Hope you are all working hard! We look forward to seeing you again later in the year. Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Thank you for the very kind invitation to the school's 50th Birthday Celebrations. Unfortunately I shall not be able to attend but send the Staff and Pupils my best wishes and congratulations on this momentous occasion.

How time flies !!! It doesn't seem that long ago when I was Nursery Assistant/Non Teaching Assistant at the school that the 25th Birthday Celebrations took place. Since that time there have been many changes and improvements to the school buildings and school life. I frequently look at the school website to keep up to date with all the happenings and am most impressed with what I see.

Congratulations and very best wishes and here's to the next 50 years.

Janet Hay

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Soory you can't be with us, but thank you for your good wishes at the special time for our school. We've got some pictures of you on display - those were the days when we only had one teaching assistant! You were a good one though! If you ever want to call in and se us, just let us know. It would be lovely to see you again after all these years.

Best wishes to you and Bill,
Mr Horrocks

Hello all at Weeton Primary,

I have just been looking at your website. The school looks al ot different from when I left there 8 years ago. It still looks like a lovely school to be taught at though! I have booked half a day off work on 2nd October to come down and celebrate your 50th anniversary with you all. Hope you are all keeping well. I will see you on the 2nd.

From, one of your longest serving pupils!

Hiya to everyone at Weeton. I don't know if you can still remember me but I have now started my third high school and it's great. It's a sports college just like Risedale but in this school I might be doing GCSE for PE.
Hope to speak to you all soon.
Jade x

Mr Horrocks

Hi everybody!
I am missing Weeton terribly:(!
Kirkham Grammar is brilliant though, except all the homework (I'm in the middle of history homework now!)
Once again i'd like to say thank to all who helped me achieve my goals. Especially Mrs Lomas, Mr Horrocks, Mrs Kay and all the rest of the team!
Thank you all so much and "HAPPY BIRRTHDAY TO YOU ALL!", I wish I was there to celebrate it with you all.
Tiffany C.Toomey

PS I wish that I could come to the Weeton's Got Talent day!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear you are enjoying Kirkham Grammar, Tiffany. Get on with that homework! Thanks for your birthday good wishes. Time will tell whether Weeton actually has got any talent! (I jest - we've got plenty!) Thankfully, Mr Cowell will not be with us!
Mr Horrocks

Congratulations Yanto!
Well done Yanto on receiving Sean's Award. Mr Horrocks tells me you have been a very brave boy with all of the sadness and hard times you have gone through. It must have been very hard and sad to lose your dad, but you have kept smiling. Your dad will be very proud of you. Keep up the good work at school, and once again WELL DONE!
Louise

_______________________________________________________

RELPY: Yanto thanks you for your message.

HI Mr Horrocks & all the staff at Weeton!
Just been looking on your website (as I do often) and love the pictures of the new entrance. It looks really nice and welcoming. Great idea about the tv set! The display cabinet looks great. What a lot of awards the school has. Wouldn't like to be the one who cleans them all, ha ha! I will definitely try and get over next year to see you all. Would like to personally thank you all for your support and kindness in keeping Sean's memory alive at your school. It means so much to Keith and I. Saw Mrs Masters at our summer ball in August. She told me all about your end of year assembly and that someone has received Sean's Award. Look forward to seeing the pictures. Life in Ballykinler is okay. Ryan has settled in well here, he is doing well at school. He still has his heart set on being a doctor! Can't believe he leaves next year, how time flies. Callum is going to playschool and the new baby is due in 7 weeks so I have my hands full !! Hope you all had a relaxing summer. Best wishes to you all.
Take care
Louise

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: So good to hear from you again and news of how you are all getting on. It's great news about the baby. We all send our best wishes to you. Sean's Award went to another deserving child - Yanto. His face lit up when he realised he was going to receive it. School is as busy as ever, particularly with our 50th birthday celebrations only a few weeks away. We look forward to seeing you all again some time in the future. Mrs Lomas is so impressed with Ryan's choice of career!
Mr Horrocks

Hi, Guess who my neighbour is - Wesley Bath. He is in my school . He says hi. His sister Kiera is in my class and so many others. I'm going to tell them about your website and maybe you will here from many others.

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Brad. It's nice to know that you have met up with Wesley and Kiera again. We hope they are both happy and doing well at school. Keep working hard! Keep in touch.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks, Mr Goth and all you Weeton Friends.

Hi everybody. How are you all ? We had a good summer . We both had 9 weeks out of school due to moving. We have all settled in nicely. We do miss Weeton. I know I wasn't there for long but I would love to say thank you to all at the school.

Bradley says hi to Mikey if his still there and Mr Goth. We as a familly would like to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY 50 years"
Bye for now, Natasha xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for your message and birthday wishes, Natasha. Mikey is still with us. He's in Class 6 now - just like you were, with Mrs Lomas. Pleased to hear you are all settling in your new home. It seems strange not seeing you waving to me at the bus stop when I come to school in a morning! Remember: you are still part of the Weeton School family.

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hello everybody,
How are you? I'm supposed to be researching for prep but I thought I should drop you all a line or two. Please say hello to Courtney Glen, Sophie McConnell and Kailei O' Flynn. Not forgetting The best teacher in the universe Mrs Lomas!! I'm having a great time in Giggleswick although there's way too much homework. I've got to go now befoe I get into trouble BYE Love Abigail

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Abigail! It's Courtney and Kailei here! Sophie left a couple of weeks ago. We've just been to have a look in the garden and your corn is growing well. You should see your Arts Award and photo in the new display cabinet - it looks magnificent! Mrs Lomas sends her love.
Best wishes from all your Weeton friends.

Hiya everyone. Missing you loads (espeacially Mrs Lomas). Having a great time at high school. Keep getting lost though. Speak to you soon. Bye

PS Will you tell Mrs Lomas that Sam has got into college.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Amber! Pleased to hear you are enjoying high school. Hope you can find your way around by now! Mrs Lomas is really pleased to hear that Sam has got into college. We are all enjoying being in thew new Class 6. We are getting ready to celebrate the school's 50th birthday.

Bye for now, Courtney, Kailei and Class 6

I miss this school so much!!
Big hello to all the teachers - especially Mr Horrocks and Mrs Lomas! Hope you are all well. Haven't been in touch for 2 years now, and I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Like Danielle, finished 2nd year of uni . Now in Newcastle, it's been incredible. I'm changing over to do my final year at uni in Madrid, so I move there in 9 days - no where near organised.

Regards to everyone in Weeton. Anyhow- I remember being computer monitor many moons ago (and Joseph and that coat of many colours........cringe!)

All the very best guys and hope you're having a marvellous summer!
:-)

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Dan! Is it really two years? Time flies. Pleased to hear you've enjoyed your time at Newcastle; Madrid sounds very exciting. Hope all goes well. I'd forgotten about Joseph! No wonder you won our Arts Award in 1998! We are just about to celebrate the school's 50th birthday at the end of September. Had you not been in Madrid, you could have come along and given us a verse or two of "Any Dream Will Do"!
Keep in touch and good luck in Madrid.
Best wishes to your Mum and sister, from Mr Horrocks

PS Mrs Lomas says hello and hopes your writing is as good as it used to be!

To all the teachers and pupils at Weeton Primary School. We are writing to say goodbye as we are moving to Warminster.

To Mr Goth and Class 4, I would like to thank all the helpers for all their great help and Mr Goth you're the best teacher I could ever wish for in my whole life. You helped me through some tough times like when my dad was away. It was REALLY FUN with you teaching me. I'm so sorry that I can't say bye properly. I wish I could change things but I supose that's life.

I'd like to say to all my GREAT friends I'm going to miss you loads. Thank for being the best of friends. I'm going to miss being on YELLOW table.
I will write again soon.
Chole xx

Dear Mrs Lomas and Year 6. I am writing to say goodbye as I am moving to Warminster. I will miss you. I am thanking Mrs Lomas lots and lots for her help with my maths. I really wanted to stay with you for another year. Please keep in touch with me. I 'll keep writing to tell you how I'm doing. From Sophie xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for your messages. We are sorry you are leaving us so suddenly. We hope you take lots of good memories and learning with you, from your time at Weeton School. Do keep in touch and let us know how things go.

Best wishes from everyone at Weeton.

There are only 2 remaining teachers at Weeton County Primary School, as it was known then, that I recognise. Mr Horrocks, who once played King Herod in the nativity whilst I was one of the three wise men, and Mrs Kirkham!

A great school, one that I miss massively!

I would be most grateful if somebody has an e-mail address I could contact Mrs Duckworth, circa 1996, on.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's really good to hear from you, Dale, after all this time. We've just had a new trophy cabinet made and the Good Citizen Award with your name engraved on it (1997 winner) is displayed in all its glory! I certainly remember that nativity! We've got some photos of it in one of our albums, plus a good one of you when you won the Good Citizen Award along with Kayley Cracknell and Danielle Hill. Mrs Kirkham actually retired a few years ago, but she can't keep away and continues to work part-time for us. Mrs Duckworth left us in 2005, when she became Deputy Head of a larger school in Chorley. I'll pass on contact details to you.
If you are ever in this area, do call in and see us.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi Mrs Lomas. Just came back from Cyprus. It was great. See you soon. Bye, bye.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Pleased you had a good time in Cyprus. I'll bet the weather was better than what we've had this summer in Britain! Good luck when you start school in September. We'll be thinking of you.
Mr Horrocks

Hi! Just thought I'd tell you about how I am already missing the school! I am missing being with Kalei ( I hope I spelt that right), Shauna, Natasha, Nathan and Macauley (and anyone else I forgot - sorry!) But I especially miss BIG Mrs Lomas, Mrs Speriatt, Mrs Dudding+baby, Mrs Birkett, Mrs Ramsey, Mr Horrocks, Mrs Kay and all the rest of the teachers who helped me through primary school life at Weeton. I hope that the new Year 5s have fun and good luck to the new Year 6s for the SATs ahead (if they do them).

I am looking forward to going to Kirkham Grammar School. My first day is September 2nd (wish me luck please). Once again, thanks to all the teachers and pupils that helped my through the time I spent at and away from Weeton!

Hope the new school year goes well, and the new Class 1 children have as good a time as I had at Weeton (read through the Best Efforts books!). Hope to hear from Class 6 soon.

PS Can someone tell Louise Dack in the new Class 4 that I said Hi! Thank you!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Tiffany. We are not back at school yet, but I'll make sure everyone you've mentioned (ie most of the school!) reads it when we return. So good luck at Kirkham Grammar - do us and your family proud. I'm sure you will.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Very impressed with the website and its layout. What a good idea to have to retain a blog or guestbook comments.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for visiting our website - glad you like it! The guestbook has been a really good way of keeping in touch with our children and their families who are always on the move. You will have to come and visit us in the autumn term - we are even better in real life!
Regards, Mr Horrocks

Hi Mr Horrocks. It's me, Elle Clarke. I'm having a fab holiday. I have done lots of fun things. I have done grass sledging, trampolining, swimming and I learned how to dive. It was my mum's birthday on the 27th July. Hope you are having a great holiday too.
Elle Clarke

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Elle! Glad to hear you are enjoying your holiday. With all that sport you are going to be so fit when you return to school. Mrs Lomas will be thrilled! Hopefully, the Olympics will have inspired everyone to try lots of new sports. I'm enjoing my holiday, although I'm now starting to think about school again. There's lots of planning to do for the school's 50th birthday celebrations at the end of September. See you and Tom on 3rd September.
Mr Horrocks
PS A belated Happy Birthday to your mum!

Hello Miss Russel and Class 2, it's Bethany here. I am missing you all at Weeton lots and lots. I have started at my new school and have made lots of new friends, but I still miss everybody from Weeton. Katie says hello to Miss Nolan too and she misses her lots!!!!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Bethany and Katie. We miss you too! You should see your classroom, Bethany. It's just been decorated. Miss Russel is teaching Year 2 in September, so her class will be moving up with her! Class 1 has also been painted and will soon have some new carpet areas. Frankie left us today, so we lit the Friendship Ring - and he gave us all some chocolate! Have a lovely summer holiday and keep in touch.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

The Good Lord was creating teachers. It was His sixth day of 'overtime' and He knew that this was a tremendous responsibility for teachers would touch the lives of so many impressionable young children. An angel appeared to Him and said, "You are taking a long time to figure this one out."

"Yes," said the Lord, " but have you read the specs on this order?"

TEACHER:

…must stand above all students, yet be on their level
... must be able to do 180 things not connected with the subject being taught
... must run on coffee and leftovers,
... must communicate vital knowledge to all students daily and be right most of the time
... must have more time for others than for herself/himself
... must have a smile that can endure through pay cuts, problematic children, and worried parents
... must go on teaching when parents question every move and others are not supportive
... must have 6 pair of hands.

"Six pair of hands, " said the angel, "that's impossible"
"Well, " said the Lord, " it is not the hands that are the problem. It is the three pairs of eyes that are presenting the most difficulty!"

The angel looked incredulous, " Three pairs of eyes...on a standard model?"

The Lord nodded His head, " One pair can see a student for what he is and not what others have labelled him as. Another pair of eyes is in the back of the teacher's head to see what should not be seen, but what must be known. The eyes in the front are only to look at the child as he/she 'acts out' in order to reflect, " I understand and I still believe in you", without so much as saying a word to the child."

"Lord, " said the angel, " this is a very large project and I think you should work on it tomorrow".

"I can't," said the Lord, "for I have come very close to creating something much like Myself. I have one that comes to work when he/she is sick.....teaches a class of children that do not want to learn....has a special place in his/her heart for children who are not his/her own.....understands the struggles of those who have difficulty....never takes the students for granted..."

The angel looked closely at the model the Lord was creating.
"It is too soft-hearted," said the angel.

"Yes," said the Lord, "but also tough, You can not imagine what this teacher can endure or do, if necessary".

"Can this teacher think?" asked the angel.

"Not only think," said the Lord,. "but reason and compromise."

The angel came closer to have a better look at the model and ran his finger over the teacher's cheek.

"Well, Lord, " said the angel, your job looks fine but there is a leak. I told you that you were putting too much into this model. You cannot imagine the stress that will be placed upon the teacher."

The Lord moved in closer and lifted the drop of moisture from the teacher's cheek. It shone and glistened in the light.

"It is not a leak," He said, "It is a tear."

"A tear? What is that?" asked the angel, "What is a tear for?"

The Lord replied with great thought, " It is for the joy and pride of seeing a child accomplish even the smallest task. It is for the loneliness of children who have a hard time to fit in and it is for compassion for the feelings of their parents. It comes from the pain of not being able to reach some children and the disappointment those children feel in themselves. It comes often when a teacher has been with a class for a year and must say good-bye to those students and get ready to welcome a new class."

"My, " said the angel, " The tear thing is a great idea...You are a genius!!"
The Lord looked sombre, "I didn't put it there."

This for all the Teachers and Staff at Weeton!!

Mr Horrocks

Hi, I don't know if you remember me now. It's been a while, but I just thought I'd say hello to everyone and hope you're all okay! I'm down in Warminster now. School is going quite well. Going into Year 11 in September. Did my first GCSE the other week. I'm hoping to get the result back soon.
Just thought I'd let you know that I think Sean's page is looking great!
Byyeee
Love you all there xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Of course we still remember you, Natalie! It's really good to hear from you. It's hard to believe you will soon be in Year 11. How time flies! We've just given Sean's Award to the second person. I'll be putting details on the website as soon as I can. It can only go to someone really special - just like Sean.
Hope you GCSE result was a good one! Best wishes to all the family, Mr Horrocks

Mr Horrocks, What team won the sports day?

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Reds won! Greens came second and Yellows came third. We had a great afternoon. The sun actually shone for most of it. By the way, I have some good news for you: Class 3 won the Modern Languages award for learning Spanish! Everyone got a certificate and a medal. We'll send yours to you! Happy holiday!
Mr Horrocks

Hello Class 3, it's Lewis. I'm at my new house now. It's nice and I have a very big bedroom. I am going to see my new school today so I will tell you all about it soon.
Miss you all. Hope to see you soon.
Lewis

(Can you read this to everyone in Class 3)

_______________________________________________________

REPLY from Class 3: We are pleased to hear from you and glad you like your new house. Hope you like your new school. A big smile from everyone here in Class 3!

Well done Emma and Millie for winning the Public Speaking Competition. You did very well . I like all the new building work - it looks great. Speak soon, bye for now.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: That's a kind message Elle. It was a really good competition this year. Everyone tried very hard and Father Roland had a tough job judging it.

And yes, I agree - school is looking great! It will be even better in September when all the decorating is finished and the new adventure playground things have been fitted. Something to look forward to. We'd also like to build a mini theatre with a stage and seating. I'm sure you could make good use of that with your acting skills. Watch this space!
Mr Horrocks

You can read this out to Class 6

Hello everyone. My new school is called Blankenhagen School. Hope you're all ok. Missing you all. Write back soon. Kane, I can't wait until you come up. Thanks Mrs Lomas for the SATs and boostering help. I wouldn't get good results if you were not there to help. Thanks.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Mrs Lomas read out your message to the class. They were pleased to hear from you. Hope Xianetia and Brandon are both well and happy. Regards to your Mum and Dad. See Joe and Kane's message below.

Hello everyone. Just showing my new class the school website and I thought I'd say hello, especially to Mrs Lomas, Kane and Joe. Missing you all. Write back soon.

REPLY: Hi Kovac, glad to know you are all right. Is it good in your new school and have you made any new friends? Judo is going really well and everyone is learning new skills. Courtney C won the award last week. How is your new camp? We both went to the Pleasure Beach this weekend. Had a great time - wish you could have been there.
Write back soon and good luck in the future, from Joe and Kane.

Hi to everyone at Weeton Primary School. I have settled in very well at Down Academy which will be named Blackwater College at the start of summer. We have broken up for our holidays for 9 weeks. Thank you Mrs Lomas for helping me because I have passed my summer exams with flying colours. I'll write back soon. See you all, Paul Peacock

REPLY coming soon from Class 6

Hi! How are you? I am very disappointed as I did not get into Down High - the Grammar School - but I am following in my sister's footsteps and going to a boarding school called Rockport. It is over here in Ireland in a place called Hollywood. It's about an hour away and I come back at the weekends so it will be good. Also today I found today that I have got a place in Rockport. Hope you all are ok and thank you for everything!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your news, Aimee. We hope you will be very happy at Rockport. I can remember visiting Redburn Primary School, which is in Hollywood (NI), at the end of 2000. THe children were coming to Weeton from there in spring 2001.
We are all busy preparing for the end of term - we break up later than you, of course!
Best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks

Hi Mrs Lomas (and of course all the other Staff involved)
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the work and patience you invested (again) to get Tiffany into Kirkham Grammar School. I bet you are relieved it's all over again for another year?
We are so glad we got Tiffany back into Weeton Primary,after the short absence! Best decision we made!

Catrinx

REPLY: Thanks for your kind words, Mrs Toomey. It dosen't seem five minutes since Tiffany joined Class 1. I am sure she will continue to go from strength to strength when she goes to Kirkham Grammar School.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hello everybody. How did your SATs go, Year 6 ?

Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone, I can't believe Amiee told you I had a girlfriend!! I dumped her anyway.My mum said I am too young to be tied down. My Dad is in Kosovo at the moment, and I find out what High School I have been accepted at soon, so I will let you know. Say Hi to everyone for me, especially Christopher Bushell.

Charlie says Hello, and he has his first wobbly tooth. We lost our Cup Final in Ballykinler Rec, but I got a trophy at the end of the season for most improved player so I can't be that bad.
Speak soon
Jacob Bell

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: You've got such a wise mum, Jacob!! Hope you get a place at the High School of your choice. Class 6 have just got back from a day out in Blackpool. They've had a great time, walking along the Prom and going on rides on the pier. Christopher has recently returned from holiday in Holland. He says "Hi". Sorry you lost the Cup Final - but well done on your award. Hope Charlie's tooth is now with the Tooth Fairy! I am finally in my new office - it's so posh I can't believe it!
Best wishes to your Mum and Dad. We still miss all our old friends.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. I am so glad the SATs are over because they were really hard. I am having a great time off and working hard towards a gymnastics competition next weekend on 1st June .I can't wait!!!!

See you all back at school.
Love from Jessica xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: This is a belated reply! We were all pleased to hear how well you did with your gymnastics. Will you be ready for the London Olympics?!

Mr Horrocks

Hello Mr Horrocks and all the rest. I've settled well over in Ireland.
It is really good over here but I miss my friends a lot and the teachers at Weeton. Prince Edward is over in Northern Ireland and our school Kindle Primary is going to do a play in front of him. My mum has just had a baby called Alfie. He was born last week and he just looks like my little sister Katie. He is really cute. I've missed Weeton a lot.

Jake Harris

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for letting us know your good news about your new baby brother. Everyone here sends their very best wishes to Alfie and all your family. We look forward to seeing him one day.
So, your second visit from Prince Edward! I hope your play went well.
Mr Thornley has missed Josh coming to collect his carton of milk at the end of the day!
Anyway, it's good to hear from you, Jake. Be good and work hard!
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi to you all, thought it was time I dropped you all a line. It has been over 6 moths since we left Weeton to go to Chepstow! It's been a very busy time for us here. The Battalion have just returned from Belize and are now training ready for a 6 moth tour to Afghanistan in September. We have a great house in a lovely location with wonderful views of the river and bridge. Katie and Clara have settled down into their new school after a few 'teething' problems and seem to be enjoying it. Katie has been accepted into an excellent secondary school so I hope she will do well. Olivia has made friends and works every weekend with her sister, Laura, in a local pub waitressing. I am assistant manager & pre-school room leader in a local preschool. I also implement communication, language & literacy across the school so I'm learning lots!
We all miss the close community of Weeton school and Katie especially misses Mrs Lomas! I miss my 'chats' with Mrs Kay but she will be pleased to know I've yet to forget a lunchbox! When we visit our house we will pop in to see you all. Take care x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's great to hear from you and hear all your news. Glad to know that things are going well for the girls. And your new job sounds as it it will keep you busy! It seems like another time since you were here at Weeton - we still miss all our old friends. It's great when they keep in touch like this though. Mrs Kay has got an ENORMOUS new office! And she's obviously getting lots more work done now she isn't having all those chats with you!! The remodelling work on our school has been really successful so far - you won't recognise the place when you see it. Do pop in and see us when you are over here. In the meantime, everyone from the Weeton family sends their best wishes to all the Morgan family.
Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton,
My new school is great. I am doing my SATs at the moment - urrrh
[they are very hard!!!] HELP!! I think i might have got them right. I will tell you my results.
Love Clara xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: So pleased to hear you are enjoying your new school. I'll bet you are glad the SATs are over and done with. Mrs Lomas certainly is! Do let us know how you get on, Clara.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi Mr Horrocks, I've had a wonderful time at my new school but I have been missing Weeton School a lot . I've missed all the teachers and pupils. So how's everyone there?
Georgia Knight xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for your message, Georgia. It's really good to know you like your school. We are all looking forward to the half term holiday after all the tests.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hiya
How is the school layout going?
It was really good to see you all.
Sian

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It was good to see you again, Sian. The building work is almost finished. Take care.
Mrs Lomas

Hello again!! Haven't said hello for a while so I thought I'd drop you all a line!
Really miss school. Still, happy 50th birthday (for Feb just gone!).
Hope you're all okay. Hello to Mrs Lomas especially, miss you lots!
I'm just finishing my second year of uni now. I'm at Uclan in Preston (just down the road!!) and having an amazing time!! Going into year three and then into teaching!! Love being in school so much. It's the best job for me.
It's really good to see messages from other people I went to school with and to see how they're all doing well, and great to see pictures of all my old teachers!!
Take care and hopefully I shall hear from you all soon.
Love, Danielle xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's lovely to hear from you again, Danielle. I'm so proud of you (my best monitor!). We are celebrating the school's 50th in the autumn term - things have been so busy this year. Pleased to hear you are enjoying uni. Keep in touch via the website and do call in and see us some time - we'd love to see you again.
Best wishes from Mrs Lomas

Hey Weeton
Miss you all lots. I'm moving to a boarding school soon called Rockport Boarding . I'm excited. Jordan is moving there too
as we are both into our sports and the school is based on sports.
I think it will be very cool. Hope to come over soon . Maybe in our nine week summer holidays.
Jenny says this is a very pretty looking primary and very cosy.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your news. Hope your new school is a good one and you soon settle. Jenny obviously has very good taste in primary schools!
Mr Horrocks

Hiya everyone. I'm going into Year 10 in September. I can't wait until 23rd June because I'm doing my first GCSE's for science at 9:00. Hope everyone is ok, I am. I'm coming back up on 30th of this month. Hopefully going to pop into the school and see evceryone again. So how are all the Year 6's doing in their SAT's? Hope they do just as well as me and Melissa did and everyone else.
Please can you say a big hi to Mrs Lomas because I miss like mad, I think of her helping me out with my SATs when I'm doing my coursework and when I do my science SATs.
Well, I have to go. I'll keep in contact.
Kimberley Knight

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Mrs Lomas was thrilled to hear from you and Melissa. We are so glad we can still keep in touch and hear how our "old" pupils are getting on. Year 6 have been doing lots of relaxation exercises before their SATs this week (remember them?). Hope your science ones went well.
We hope Georgia and Simone are both okay and getting on well at school. Looking forward to seeing you here at Weeton again.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hiya Mr Horrocks and Mrs Lomas. I'm in Yr 9 this September. I've missed everyone at the school. I should be coming to see you this month if I can get into the camp.
I still live in Oxfordshire. I'm 4 hours away from Blackpool. This year I'm finding school quite hard because I have picked my options and I'm doing my SAT's at the moment. I did my maths tests today. I found that one quite easy to do. I did three maths tests. I've still got my certificate from when I won the Good Citizenship Award. Have you still got the trophy?
Well I have to go now. I will write back soon. MISS YOU ALL.
Melissa Knight xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Melissa. It would be good to see you again if you make the long journey up from Oxfordshire. Mrs Lomas and Yr 6 are looking forward to finishing the SATS on Friday. Hope the rest of your SATs went well. We still have the Good Citizen trophy and your name is there for ever!
Best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton
I'm in class at the moment and I thought I might tell my old primary school the good news.
Me, Jacob and Jordan are playing for the Ballykinler village team and we have been put through to the final of the cup!
Well, bye for now.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: So, all those skills you picked up from Mr Goth and Mrs Lomas worked!! Good luck with the final. Let us know how you get on.
Mr Horrocks

Dear Mr Horrocks and Mrs Lomas
I am missing you all so much. I now live in Bolton and my SATs are coming up in a week. I am really worried but I know that I will do great because I learnt a lot while I was with you. I hope I can come and see everyone soon but it might be a bit hard as I live over an hour away.

Mrs Lomas, I am missing you the most because you are the best teacher ever and I know that everyone there thinks so too. I know that I will pass my SATs because you gave me confidence when I first did my SATs with you in Year 6.

I was really upset when I heard about Sean because I had known him since he was born and it was hard to take in.

I hope that I can see you soon.
Love to everyone there at Weeton Primary School.
Love from Jade Dianne Lewis

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's really good to hear from you again, Jade. Mrs Lomas has been busy preparing yet another group of Year 6 children for their SATs. They still do their relaxation exercises - so remember to do yours when your next lot of SATs start! Good luck with them.

It would be lovely to see you again one day. You'll be able to see Sean's Award. It's really special and it keeps Sean's memory alive here at school. How is Aaron getting on? Keep trying hard - and thank for remembering Weeton.

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi. Did you like my surprise Mrs Lomas? Laugh out loud I hope you did! Hi from us all over here. Bye for now.
An ex pupil, Rhiannon

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It was lovely to see you both! It really made my day. I hope all is well with you. See you again,
Mrs Lomas

Hi everyone. I am really enjoying my new school in York (but it's not as good as Weeton). Missing you all. I now go to Brownies and in the Easter holidays I went to Brownie camp. Harrison says hello as well. My baby sister is now 9 months old and everyone says she looks just like me! Hope to visit you all one day soon as we have different holidays here.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's lovely to hear from you again, Angel. And hello to Harrison! Pleased to hear that you are enjoying your new school - they are lucky to have you! (I don't normally include the bit you've put in brackets, but who am I to argue with a Good Citizen Award winner!)

We start back at school on Monday. Inside school is looking very different now. Wait until you see the new toilets - a really bright pink chosen by the girls! And at long last - locks on the doors!

Anyway, do come and visit us when you are down in Weeton. I can't believe your sister is already 9 months old. Best wishes to all your family,
Mr Horrocks

HELLO!
I miss you all so much. Thanks a lot to you Mr Horrocks and Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth. Thank you to all the teachers and this is why we have gone this far because of all of you. I will be back to see you again with Catherine.
PS I can still remember our school prayer!

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for your message and kind words, Paige. It's funny the things we remember from our school days. Anyway, we look forward to seeing you back at Weeton School soon. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks.

Hi Weeton ,
I'm just with my mate Nathan in IT and we have some free time so I decided to say hello.

It's nice and sunny in Northern Ireland, so happy days.
Bye for now!

Best wishes to all the family,

Hello. We finished early In IT and I decided to show Jenny my Primary School. How are you all doing? Have you still got the Friendship Circle? Missing primary and Weeton Camp lots. Jenny says hi and it looks like a fun school.
Bye for now.

Thank you so much for my farewell gifts which will be treasured. I have certainly found Weeton to be an outstanding a school in so many ways and it has been a real pleasure to be allowed to work with you all.
I wish you continued success in the future.

Miss you all
Lauren

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Lauren. Everyone in Year 6 is trying very hard to get good scores in their booster work. We are all looking forward to the end of SATs week though, then we'll be able to do some exciting things in class!
Best wishes from Mrs Lomas

Hello again. Just another quick message to Mrs Lomas. As you know I took my 11+ and got a C1 as I had only been here for a short time. I was able to take another test that back in the UK children take to get into a grammar school. I got 2 As and a C1 in verbal reasoning.
See you soon, Aimee

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Well done on your second test scores, Aimme. Year 6 are busy boostering for the SATs. I'll bet you are missing all that! Keep working hard.
Mrs Lomas

Hi everyone at Weeton
I can't wait until June because with school we are going on an adventure week! Over here in Ireland it's really windy and our trampoline flew away because it was that windy! Our youth club is great. Jacob B has got himself a girlfriend and she's really nice! Bye.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: You sound as if you are having a good time over there - even with all that wind! Hope the adventure week goes well. Remember us to all our ex-pupils, especially Jacob!
Best wishes to all the family, Mr Horrocks

Hello friends from school

Hi Mr Goth. Miss ya.
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: We are all pleased you have settled in your new school and have made new friends. We are sure you won't forget us though! We have had an India day in Class 4 this week. We all dressed up and did some cooking in the kitchen. Mrs Lomas sends her best wishes to Jake.
Best wishes to you from Mr Goth

HI everybody
I'm doing well in high school (I think). Over here is brilliant and fun. We have our own beach and now starting up cadets and boxing.
Bye
_______________________________________________________
REPLY: Pleased to hear you are enjoying life over there, Jack. Mrs Lomas is busy boostering with Year 6. We are looking forward to when all the building work is finished. Lots of changes! I've just spent two days emptying my office, ready for the wall coming down between mine and Mrs Kay's. Watch out for pictures. Anyway, keep working hard. Hope you are still enjoying reading. Best wishes to your Mum and Dad,
Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone at Weeton. I love the school over here but I don't like the place. They say it is normalisation but it isn't. Anyhow, how are you all? I was looking at the website. When did you find the penguins in the loft? Ha ha ha ha! I love the website. Are you getting really excited for the SATs? Ha ha ha ha!

Bye, got to go, from an ex pupil Rhiannon
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello, Rhiannon! We are all fine here, although everywhere is dusty and things are all over the place because of all the building works. I'll be putting a picture of the penguins on the Home page very soon! It's all very well you laughing! Year 6 and Mrs Lomas are busy boostering for the SATs. At least you don't have to do them over there!
Keep smiling!
Mr Horrocks

Hi Mr Horrocks,

Don't know if you remember me but I was a pupil at Weeton round about 2001. I was in Year 6 Mrs Lomas' class. Also I won the yearly award. It's great to see that the school is doing well and achieving its targets. I went to 7 different primary schools whilst my Dad was in the army and I consider Weeton to be the best. My education is still progressing and I am going to university in September to study television and radio.

All the best for the future and to Weeton.
Jordan North
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: It's really good to hear from you, Jordan. Of course we remember you! After all, you were our Good Citizen Award Winner (along with Joe Morell) in July 2001. We are glad you still remember us so fondly. We hope Domonic and Bradley are well and working hard. We've found a picture of you and Bradley in our "Hello and Goodbye" book from when you joined us from Catterick.

Anyway, all the best for September - and keep in touch.
Mr Horrocks

Dear Mr Horrocks,
Thank you for a lovely morning spent in your school. It was great to see all the fantastic artwork and hear about your exciting, new future plans. Having never been to Weeton School before, it was a real pleasure to meet you and see how creative you all are. I hope to see you again in the not too distant future!
Best wishes,
Elaine (Unipace)
PS. Apple Mac's rule!!
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for visiting Weeton School this morning - even though we were completely tipped up with all the building work going on!

The plumber actually made an exciting discovery later in the day. Clearing out the loft space above the boys' tiolets, he found a large papier mache penguin! Then another, followed by two young ones - one covered in real feathers! I recognised them: they had been made 25 years ago for the Young Seasiders Competition at the Grundy Art Gallery. The fathers of the pupils had served in the Falklands War in 1982. We've got pictures of the children who made them, together with a Gazette article. And the entry won! They will now become part of our 50th anniversary celebtations.

If you go to our News page and click on 20 March 2007 (A voice from the past...), you can find a pdf link to the photograph of the penguins and one of the girls who helped to make them.

I am sure we'll be seeing you again sometime in the future, to help us develop our creative curriculum.
Regards, Mr Horrocks

Hi Mr Horrocks, Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas

Thought I would say hello. I am still doing well at my new school. We have just done a project called "All about me" and we had to bring in baby photos of ourselves. This week we are dressing up for World Book Day, we have to come as our favourite character from a book. Do not know who to be as I love books so much. I still miss Weeton lots.

love Tyler xx

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: So good to hear from you, Tyler. You're message really cheered me up at the end of a busy Monday! Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas are really pleased to know how well you are doing at school - they knew you would continue to work hard. We hope you choose a really good character to dress up as on World Book Day. I once dressed up as Willy Wonka!
Best wishes to your Mum and Dad,
Mr Horrocks
PS Alfie says woof (quietly!)!

Hi to all the staff at Weeton, Just wanted to say we still think about you all and how supportive you were to Sean. We will never be able to repay your kindness but know that you have our sincere heartfelt thanks. It's hard to believe it's nearly 7 months since Sean left us. It's his birthday this month and we are going to name a star after him, we think he would love that! Anyway hope you are all ok please say hello to Mrs Lomas & Mr Goth. We will try to visit some time this year. Bye for now

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you. We hope you are all okay. We've had a really busy school year so far (as always, I suppose!). The children are looking forward to their dads returning from Afghanistan - won't be too long now. The builders have been very busy remodelling our school. You'll have to come and see us when they've finished. It's looking so different!
Mrs Lomas, Mr Goth and all the staff send their best wishes to you all. Please remember us to all our friends over there.
Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton. I am missing you and in Kindle I was doing Fame and I sang a lot and danced a lot in it and I was also dressed up.
I miss you loads Weeton and can you tell everyone I miss them loads. Thank you for everything you have done for me and I hope you will send me a message back.
Lots of love, Olivia Peacock

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you again, Olivia. Your wish is my command - so here's my reply! Sorry you are missing us (although it is nice to be missed because it shows how much you enjoyed being part of the Weeton family). We all miss your cheerful ways - so keep looking on the bright side of things. You seem to have had a good time in Fame - wish we could have seen it! Mrs Lomas sends her best wishes to Paul and hopes he's happy and working hard at school.
Until next time, best wishes to all the family from Mr Horrocks

PS Just realised I didn't get your friends to reply to you in January! Watch this space!

Hi Weeton. I'm having a great holiday. The new school library looks great. I can't wait until the school is finished. It's going to look lovely.
I think the games at Weeton Primary School are really good. I'm getting better at my maths now.
Bye for now
Rachel

REPLY: Glad you are enjoying your holiday and all the extra maths homework you asked for! Mr Goth says you are getting more confident with your maths now, so keep trying hard.
Mr Horrocks

Mrs Lomas

Hello to all the teachers that remember me. I have now settled at Bulford and I go to school at Kiwi. I really enjoy it and have made lots of friends. My mum has got a job at another pre-school but misses working with Sam Jones. She is always on the phone to her, and I get to talk to Christie. I hope you are all okay. I really enjoyed my time with you and thanks for everything. We don't have Best Efforts here but we do have certificates if we do some good work. I have already got a few. We also have Kiwi points and if we get so many we get a bronze award. I have one and I'm working towards my silver. Speak soon.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Rian. We are glad you have settled at Kiwi School and life in Bulford. Well done on getting a bronze award - kep working hard to get a silver one. Pleased to hear your mum has got a job. I hope Amy is also doing well at school - and still keeping everyone happy with her smile! Stay in touch.
Best wishes to all the family, Mr Horrocks

I would just like to say a big hello to all at Weeton Primary School, Kyle and Josh have settled in really well. Kyle is looking forward to starting high school in September. Josh is doing great at school. Would just like to say a big thank you to all the staff for making our time at Weeton more comfortable. Not only for the kids but the parents as well, especially when the dads were away. So THANK YOU again. Take care, Mrs Foxley

____________________________________________________
REPLY: Lovely to hear from you - thanks for your kind words. Pleased to know that things are going well. I hope Josh's collar bone is getting better. Lots of our dads are away at the moment, so you know what life is like. They are now more than half way through their tour, so everyone is looking forward to their safe return. School is as busy as ever, especially with the builders being with us. You won't recognise the place when you next visit!

All the best, Mr Horrocks

Hi Mr Horrocks, I know you are a great fan of L S Lowry. Well I am learning about him and his drawings and paintings. He's great and I am doing well at my new school and I love it. My favourite subjects are art and science. Bye Weeton. I will speak to you again soon.
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Stephanie! I am pleased to hear you are enjoying finding out about my favourite artist, L S Lowry! Now you live in Manchester, you'll have to go to the "Lowry" to see all his pictures. One of the best days of my life was when I met Mr Lowry at his house, The Elms. If you ever see a photo of Mr Lowry's front room, he sat in the chair opposite the fireplace, and I sat in the chair next to him. The paintings of his mother and father (now in the "Lowry") were on the wall, along with lots of other pictures and lots of clocks.

So, keep looking at and enjoying Mr Lowry's pictures. And keep working hard at school! With best wishes, Mr Horrocks.

Hi Weeton - I have settled in my new school and made lots of new friends. I have also joined Brownies and Dance class. Has Rachel moved or is she still there? If she is, could you let her know is she ok and please tell her that I miss her very, very much. Tell all of the staff I said hi to them and the school. Miss you all. Have you got any more new people in Class 4? If there is tell them I said hi and I would like to meet them but I can't because I'm all the way here in Manchester. Hope you have a nice time.

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Stephanie! This is Rachel here - still at Weeton School and in Mr Goth's class! I really, really miss you. We've got lots of new people in Class 4. We've also got the builders in school at the moment. We had a pantomine on the first day back at school. It was Cinderella and it was really good. I'm in the craft club and recorder club. Do they have any clubs at your new school? Until we hear from you again, lots of love from Rachel.

To Weeton. I am missing you so much and I would like to speak to Grace, James, Charlie, Ellie and Chloe. Love Olivia Peacock

REPLY: Hello Olivia! Good to hear from you. I'll get your friends to write a special message for you.

Hiya everyone. Just in PSHE on the computers, so thought I would write to you. Miss you all. Hope you are being good. I will come and see you soon. Catherine x

_______________________________________________________

REPLY: We look forward to seeing you back at Weeton School some time, Catherine.

Mr Horrocks

Clara: Hi, missing you all so much. Hope the new bit has gone well. Sorry I've have not been online - comupter has broken.
Maya: Hi, Clara has told me all about you all. You sound really nice.

Bye for now Maya and Clara
______________________________________________________

REPLY: We are glad you still remember us, Clara! Not sure what you mean about "the new bit". New regiment? New building works? Anyway, I hope school is going well - for both of you. Best wishes to all the family.

Mr Horrocks

Hello. In IT again. It has been snowing over here a lot lately, but at the moment it's just wet and windy too. Rhi and I come over in February so we hope to see you all. Thank you again for teaching us at Weeton Primary - it's helped us a lot.
Best wishes
Sian
______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Sian! We've had a lot of rain and flooding around here. It was so deep at the camp entrance, they had to open the other gate. Then the water was off around Blackpool and Over Wyre. It was off at school for a while. Back to normal now though! We look forward to seeing you soon.
Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton. I have just settled down in Manchester. I go to Egerton Park High School and I never thought I'd see the day when I like going to school. I'm entering the Golden Gloves boxing championship and might be fighting abroad soon. My new school now are expecting me to come out with grade b's in most of my subjects! So bye for now Weeton. And give Mrs Lomas my thanks for teaching me to come out like this.
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Such wonderful news Callum! We are thrilled to hear that you are happy and things are going well for you. Another success for Mrs Lomas, eh! Keep up the good work. I hope Stephanie has also settled in her school and is doing well. Let us know how you go on with the boxing - and fingers crossed for those good grades!

Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

HI MRS LOMAS, MR GOTH, MR HORROCKS AND EVERYONE AT WEETON. I LOVE IT HERE IN IRELAND. SCHOOL IS GREAT AND I HAVE MADE LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS!!! I MIGHT BE GOING TO A GRAMMAR SCHOOL IF I PASS MY 11+. CAN YOU SAY A HUGE HELLO TO SOPHIE, ABIGAIL, AMBER AND EVERYONE I KNOW!!!
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Glad to hear you are enjoying life in Northern Ireland and that you've made lots of new friends. All your friends here at Weeton send their best wishes. Hope you manage to get in at the grammar school. Year 6 will be getting on with their booster work with Mrs Lomas soon. At least you don't have to do that in Northern Ireland.

Best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks

Hi Mr Horrocks, Mrs Lomas, and to all the new teachers at Weeton. The websites great! I miss Weeton so much, especially Mrs Lomas! It has to be said she was, and probably still is, the sweetest, kindest, most loveliest (I'm not sure if that's even a word!) teacher of all time and I miss her dearly. I can't beleive it's been nearly 10 years since I left Weeton School to go to high school! I will always remember the four c's! Care, consideration, cooperation and courtesy! This message is really testing my spelling ability! Mrs Lomas swore by them! I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for the great years I had at Weeton. x
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Zoe! Good to hear from you after all these years. Mrs Lomas was touched by your message (she still remembers you) and delighted to know that you still remember the 4 c's! It's amazing how many of her ex-pupils remember them. And yes, loveliest is a word! As you live nearby, you'll have to call in and see us again sometime. Just give us a call to make sure Mrs Lomas is here. If you wait until after the builders have finished in April, you'll be able to come through our new front door and see all our alterations.

With best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi Mrs Lomas (Class 6), Mr Horrocks, Mr Goth and all at Weeton. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all. I'm starting to get used to being at my new school. I'm settling in a bit better (still miss Weeton though). My new teacher is Miss Carton. She's nice but my mum says she's not Mrs Lomas. Not sure what she means though. My mum and dad are looking to buy a house back in Kirkham so you might be seeing my little brother Josh again. Josh has broken his collar bone but he's ok. I miss you all. Would you please say hello to Bradley and Joe for me. Thank you. Kyle Foxley
______________________________________________________

REPLY (at last): Hello, Kyle! It's good to hear from you. We are all pleased to hear that you are settling in your new school. It's sure to take time after all your years at Weeton (although it doesn't seem five minutes since you were in Class 1!). That's good news about possibly buying a house back here. Sorry to hear about Josh's collar bone. Hope it's on the mend now. We would be delighted to have him back at Weeton. Bradley and Joe say hello. Best wishes to all the family from everyone at Weeton.

Hello, this is Demi and Sian. We are in IT and have some spare time on the computer so we decided to send you a comment . It's very cold in N. Ireland. Is it cold over there? Say hello to Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth for us. Thanks for teaching us at primary school. It has helped us in our years since leaving Weeton. Bye from Demi and Sian x
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello from wet and windy Weeton! We've heard about your heavy snow. We haven't really had any yet. We hope you are doing well at school. Mrs Lomas and Mr Goth say hello!

Best wishes for 2008, Mr Horrocks

Hello to everyone at Weeton Primary. It was lovely to see you all when I called in - especially Macauley who had made a wonderful Christmas card for me. Thank you, Macauley, it looks lovely on my mantlepiece - it has 'pride of place'. Thank you for showing me all your very good school work. It is great to see how well you are doing. Well done.
Have a great Christmas,
Mrs Higham

REPLY And a Happy Christmas to you from Macauley and everyone at Weeton School!

Hi everyone at Weeton,
Just like to thank all the teachers there who helped teach me and I'd like to say hello to all my old school friends.
PS Harry Potter still rules - thanks for introducing the books to me Mrs Lomas

REPLY: Good to hear from you Liam. Mrs Lomas will always remember you when she reads Harry Potter to her class. Best wishes to all your family, Mr Horrocks

Hi, I'm at school at homework club. Just wanted to see how you are doing.
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: We are all fine! Hope you get all your homework right!
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton,
I am missing eveyone there so much. It has been so long since I have seen everyone. Lauren left a message a little while ago and I noticed, so did some of my class mates. I even got a mention from Dean. Looking forward to hearing back from you, this school has been an inspiration to me and has given me many memories.
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you again Samantha. School is very busy at the moment - Christmas productions, parties etc. I'm sure you'll remember Christmas in Class 6!

Best wishes, Mrs Lomas

Hi everybody
I can't remember the last time I wrote a comment in the guestbook, it must have been ages ago.
I hope everything is okay because it is here. Hi to Mrs Lomas, I can't believe how Harry Potter ended. Bet everyone is feeling weird about being in the year above, because I am. Me in Year 8 just sounds weird.
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you again Daniel - fancy you being in Year 8! I really enjoyed the final Harry Potter. Hope everything is going well for you. Best wishes, Mrs Lomas

Hi Mr Horrocks, it's Jordan Jack. I used to be a pupil at your primary school. I thought I would get back in contact with you all to see how you are all doing.
I'm doing fine. I now live in Scotland with my uncle. I moved out of my parents house who live in Hull to see what things are like outside army life. But now I have tried that I realise that the army is for me and I'm hoping to go away to basic training on 3rd December.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Jordan Jack
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Jordan! What a lovely surprise! It's really good to hear from you. We've just had our Best Efforts assembly (remember those?) and I read out your message to the children to let them know how former pupils keep in touch when they've moved on. Mrs Lomas was especially pleased to hear from you. Mr Goth became our Deputy Headteacher in September.
We've just had a new regiment this summer at Weeton, so school has been very busy since we came back. Lots of dads are in Afhganistan at the moment.
So it's the army for you then! We hope everthing goes well with the training. Hope Callum is okay. I've just checked the records, and it's 10 years since you both came to Weeton from Germany. How time flies!
Our best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks

Hello to everyone at Weeton Primary School. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed working at Weeton Primary School and that I miss everyone - especially Macauley. I'm sure he is doing very well - please say hello to him from me. hadn't worked in an Army base school before but was so impressed by how 'nurturing' and caring all the staff were with the children - from the Headteacher to the school secretary. I certainly felt that I was part of a 'successful happy family' whilst working there. Weeton Primary School - ''you rock''. I found myself being motivated by the expertise, commitment and 'passion' of the staff that I was fortunate enough to work whilst in Mrs Lomas's class - let alone the children. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to work with such dedicated people and wonderful children.
Regards to everyone, Sally-Ann Higham, Support Assistant
______________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your kind words. As you know, you were with us at one our busiest times, with so many new children in our school. I know Macauley really enjoyed with you. Good luck with your other work.
See you soon, Mr Horrocks

REPLY from Macauley: Hello Mrs Higham! How are you getting on? I am getting on very well. I like doing my maths. We went to see The Twits at the theatre in Lancaster this week. I like the bit with all the worms! Goodbye, Mrs Higham from Macauley

Hiya, it's Daryl. Hope everyone in Year 5 and 6 is okay and the rest of the school. It took me ages to work out the Weeton website, that's why it's been ages since I've sent an email. Bye
PS Hello Amber
_______________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Daryl! Glad you found us at last! Mrs Lomas has a new Class 6 - some familiar faces, some new ones. You've found our website just as we've changed our server system, which means some things look a little strange at the moment. Also, I have to understand how it all works (having got used to the old system!).
Hope everything is going well for you.
Mr Horrocks

Big hello to my three little ones: Kovac, Xianitia & Brandon. I love you so so much. It was lovely to see you on the web cam. Many thanks to the Headteacher and teachers of Weeton Primary. Lastly a big thanks to all the kids from the school, for taking part on Thursday with all the fitness and fundraising.

Mr Gaul

REPLY: It was fun seeing you on the webcam as well. We are very happy that you did all that for our school. Can't wait until you get back. Love Kovac, Xianitia and Brandaon xxx

Hi Louy and Sean, it was great to see you both and mummy on the web cam. Mummy told me you were both in the Best Efforts book so well done and keep up the good work kids. Daddy loves and misses you both so much. Give mammy and Cyrus a big kiss from daddy and big kissses for you both.
To the teachers thanks for trying so much with the web cam. It was great for all the dads to see their kids. It means so much to them. Keep up the good work and hope to see you all soon.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hi Daddy! We miss you so much. We want you back for Christmas! We both wrote a letter to Santa to have you back for Christmas. If he does, there will be an extra carrot for Rudolf! Love Louy and Sean xx

Hi Corks, it was very very good to see you on the the web cam. I hope you and all of you school had a fun day too. I will see you in 3 weeks time on R&R. Keep up the good work at school. I love and miss you very much, love Daddy

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hi Daddy! I had a fun day as well. I loved seeing you on the webcam. Looking forward to seeing you in 19 days! I'll save you a bit of my birthday cake! Love Corks xx

Just want to say a big hello to my special boy and girl. It was brilliant seeing you and mam on the web cam and bet you loved seeing me! It was midnight here so they got me out of bed for you, but it was sooo worth it. I'm missing you lots and can't wait to get home and have another Christmas. Hope you are trying to be good for mam then I will get you that rabbit you both want! Blake, mam tells me you are doing brilliant with your maths and Leona you are trying hard with your reading. I'm really pleased to hear that, keep it up. Well I'm going to have to go back to work now. I love you both all the world, lots of love from Dad xxxxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Dad! We're missing you loads. We've had a busy week at school. Blake: I've just been in the Best Efforts Book. Leona is just about to go home (it's the end of the school day). Love from Blake and Leona xx

To Sophie and Chloe McConnell. Hello mates, finally got chance to get on the computer. As you know I've been very busy in Afghanistan. I am in camp at the moment so I am very safe. I hope you are both well, and I know you are both doing really well at school and working hard. Hope you didn't think you were in trouble when the headmaster called you into his office but I thought it would be nice for you to get a quick message from me. Like I said mates, Dad's VERY SAFE AND I LOVE AND MISS YOU LOTS AND LOTS. Bye for now Sophie. Bye Chloe. All my love always DAD.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Dad! We are here with Mr Horrocks - and we didn't think we were in trouble! (we never are, says Mr Horrocks!). I'm (Sophie) busy making a bridge with Mr Morgan (a teacher from Carr Hill who comes in every Friday). And I'm just finishing off some maths (Chloe). We are looking forward to the weekend. Chloe is looking forward to her swimming lesson. Keep safe - we love and miss you lots, Sophie and Chloe xxxx

Hey everybody, I bet you never thought you'd hear from me again!! I was sitting in work and thought about the good old days...don't worry I do work...sometimes! I just thought I'd check up and see how Mr Goth was doing, he was a real inspiration to me and I hope he hasn't forgotten about me! I was also interested to know if Samantha Corbett had been in touch, I'm missing her much too. After I moved to NI I finished primary school, I passed my exams in the top 6% of the UK, I then attended Limavady Grammar School but left to move to my home town of Ballymena. I finished high school down here and now I'm working as an Engineer and IT consultant. I have a beautiful baby boy called Cameron, he's 7 months old with the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen. If you hear from Samantha could you please tell her to drop me a line at my hotmail address?? Thanks for everything!!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Another one from the past! So good to hear from you, Dean. As you might have noticed, Mr Goth is now our Deputy Headteacher - and he certainly hasn't forgotten you! He's still doing a great job here at Weeton. Because so many of our pupils move away from Weeton, we don't often hear how things turn out for them, so it's really good to hear your news. Maybe we'll hear from Samantha sometime!
Congratulations on your baby boy - and best wishes for the future.
Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton School. I am doing great in my class and I can't wait until the Christmas play, Snow White. I have to learn my script off by heart.

Love you lots. Can't wait to see you, love Courtney xxxx

Hello people. This is Alex Barclay. How are you? This website's fantastic. Please say hello to Mrs Lomas for me. Did you see the Rugby World Cup final? (That was a try!) Hope you are all well, Alex B

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you again, Alex. Glad you like the website. I've got lots of new things I'd like to put on it, but school has been very busy this term so I haven't had much time.

Mrs Lomas says hello! Yes, I did watch the final. I can just imagine (and almost hear!) your reaction to that "try"!
Best wishes to your Mum and Dad,
Mr Horrocks

Just want to say hi to Blake and Leona Rusk. I really enjoyed staying at your house last week but the week went too quickly!

Hi Mr Horrocks,
I just thought that I would leave a message in the Guestbook.
I am enjoying my last year at Weeton Primary School and making lots of new friends. I am hoping to get a good part in the junior Christmas play 'SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS', and I hope that the Christmas disco works out for the school. I am sure everyone will have a great time.
Bye from Tiffany C Toomey

REPLY: So pleased you are enjoying Year 6, Tiffany. I can't wait to hear who is in the pantomime, after all the auditions today! And as for the disco - it's less than a week since Ellie suggested it, so things are moving fast!

Mr Horrocks

To all the kiddies and mums, please download the 24 hour challenge sponsorship form and poster, and please, get collecting. After all, ALL the money collected will go to both Weeton Primary and Honeypots, so it will directly benefit our kids.

Many thanks Tony Gaul & Carl Storr

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: All the children have taken home sponsor forms, so together we will hopefully raise lots of money. During this morning's assembly - thanks to Kovac - we worked out that it will be 600hrs in Weeton when it's 1000hrs in Afghanistan (hope that's the right way round!). Thanks for sending the poster. It can now be downloaded from our Home page. Our best wishes to all of you over there.
Mr Horrocks

CONGRATULATIONS Nathan on being the first to win Sean's Award. You must be a very strong, brave and determined boy to continue with your studies when you must have been so worried about your dad. I saw the pictures Mr Horrocks sent, so well done. If you had known Sean you would have known that nothing would have got him down, not even his illness. Well deserved, Nathan. You should be so proud of yourself. I bet your mom and dad are. Best wishes to you and your family.

REPLY: Nathan really appreciates your message. Thank you.

Hi!!

I miss Weeton Primary lots. I have loads of memories from Year 2 to Year 6. It was an excellent primary school . Please can you say hello to Mr Goth, Mrs Lomas and Mrs Kirkham for me. Thank you.

I am doing all right at my new school - Down Academy. It is a little bigger than Weeton, so to me it is a little High School. I like the Science and Food Tech. Wee have made meatballs, fruit salad, apple pie and much more.

Just a quick hello to the teachers and pupils of Weeton Primary, from Tony Gaul and Carl Storr, and lots of hugs to both our kiddies, Kovac G, Xianetia G and Brandon G and also Kyle S and Dalton S.
On the 22 Nov 2007, Tony and Carl will be doing a non stop 24 hr physical challenge, all proceeds will be donated to Weeton Primary and Honey Pots (under 5s). It is respectfully requested that Weeton Primary adds a link on to its website and collection buckets are placed around the school, not forgetting wives back there collecting on our behalf. A letter will be sent to confirm the complete event. It gives myself and Carl great satisfaction and all of the fathers out here with their kids at either your school or little ones at Honey Pots to be attempting this challenge.

Good to hear from you again. We are all refreshed after our half term holiday. We are looking after the children at Weeton School for you and all the other dads - keeping them busy and happy. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

I miss you Weeton Primary School. Can you say hi to Miss Russel.

Mr Horrocks

Hi to all staff and pupils at Weeton. Saw the newspaper article on your memorial day for Sean. We just wanted to say thank you to the boys and girls for releasing a balloon for Sean. And thank you to Mr Horrocks and all staff involved for doing this for our son. It is a beautiful Trophy and we are so appreciative that you have done this for Sean. He will never be forgotten at his school, his memory lives on and we think that is nice. Sean would love to know he had a trophy named after him, he would have been well impressed. So thank you all for your support and kindness, not just now but throughout Sean's illness. Will keep in touch because Sean loved going to your school and to me it will always be his school so I'll visit often. Once again many thanks.
Louise & Keith.
PS Ryan is doing very well at his new school - excelling in science & cooking, he's really trying hard.
Take care

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Pleased to hear you have seen the newspaper article. It was a very special morning. I'll send you some video clips once we start back at school. In January, work starts on our new entrance, offices, library etc. We'll then be able to display Sean's Award and the book that goes with it properly in our new welcome area. It would be lovely if you could visit us then, especially as we'll be celebrating Weeton School's 50th anniversary in 2008.

Good to hear that Ryan is working hard at his new school. Mr Goth's class have been doing lots of cooking recently - all the food they grew in the school garden!

We'll keep in touch,
Mr Horrocks

Would love to say Hi to my two little princesses, Beth and Katie. Missing you loads. Hope you are both working hard and being good. Look after Rhys and Mummy for me and I'll see you soon. All my love hugs and kisses Daddy xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Daddy! We love you loads and loads. We are back at school today. I've been writing my name and coloured a clown in (Katie). And I've been doing some writing and some number work this morning (Beth). Love from your two little princesses, Bethany and Katie xxxx

Hi,
Each time I go on the computer I like looking at the website.
How is everybody?
Does everyone like their new class?
I like my new class because we have a really nice teacher.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Katie. We're still on holiday at the moment - back at school tomorrow! We've got lots of new children at Weeton now, and quite a few new teaching assistants starting tomorrow. You'll have to come and see us some time. Enjoy the rest of the autumn term. Best wishes to all the family (it still seems stange without you all!).
Mr Horrocks

Hello. How are you all?
I have started my new school and have settled in very well. My new teacher's name is Mrs Yates. I miss you all so much and would love to give you a big kiss and cuddle but I'm too far away!

My new headteacher is called Mr Young, he is very nice. He has quite a small office like Mr Horrocks.

I miss you all and I want to come back. Have a good new year at Class 1. And do not forget to do Romeo and Juilet!

Love Callum xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Callum. Pleased you have settled in your new school. Thanks to you, I've been doing even more Shakespeare with the children at Weeton this term. Classes 3 and 4 have been acting out some scenes from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" - really funny (you would have enjoyed it, I'm sure). I've been to Stratford this week and went to seen "Henry V" - really exciting.
Keep working hard at school. Best wishes to your mum and dad.
Mr Horrocks
PS Next year, my office is going to be made a bit bigger. Mrs Kay is having a new office next to the library, so we are knocking through to her present office to make my office bigger. I'll bet Mr Young will be really jealous!

Hiya, just came to have a look at the Guestbook to see the reply to my message. I have been practising my swimming and I've got a certificate.

Hello to everybody at Weeton Primary School,
It is lovely to finally be able to access your site and it was so moving to see Sean. We have been without our boxes for the last 7 weeks which has made life very difficult. Saudi Arabia is absolutely fantastic, although we do have some hardships e.g it is coming to the end of Ramadan where Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink between sunrise and sunset, then they party and feast all night . It lasts for 4 weeks, needless to say it is very dangerous out and about on the roads and the shops don't open until 8.30 pm and close at 2.00 am. Then they go into Eid which is very similar to Christmas, they have just started to put the trimmings up in preparation. The weather has dropped from 48 degrees to 38 degrees and it is surprising how cool that feels to us! Both William and Edward have settled very well into the British International School, it takes 40 minutes to get there from the compound as we live way out into the desert. They travel on an armoured school bus, it is exactly the same as an American yellow school bus. Will has been selected for the School swimming team and will represent the School next March in Qatar. I have started a job in the school as a Teaching Assistant for 2 classes in year 2, there are 5 classes althogether each with 17 children. The camels are having their babies at this time of the year and have fun jumping up and down onto the road. We have 3 colours of camel here, sandy, white and black, we are becoming camel experts!!! We will send some photos very soon. With all our love to you all at Weeton. Moira, William and Edward. xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you! You are living a very different life these days! We look forward to seeing some pictures. We break up on Thursday, after a very busy half term. Lots of things to put on the website, but so little time to do it. Anyway, everyone sends their best wishes. Hope everything continues to go well for you all.
Mr Horrocks

For Kyle Mealor
Hello son. Thought I would say a little something for you at school..... Well life is good and the tour is going ok. Looking forward to coming back though. Love you lots. Look after Mum and Tyler and see you soon. Take care.
Love Dad xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Dad! I'm looking after Tyler and Mum. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you. I've been trying hard with my maths this week. We are all missing you and look forward to you coming home. Love from Kyle and Tyler xx

I'm so sorry to hear that Sean has passed away. He was a great friend to me - high spirited, funny and he was also caring. He had a brilliant sense of humour and was always there when you needed a helping hand.
Hi Mr Goth - you're the best!
Love Vicky

Hello, I have made it into the football team for Down Academy and I'm working really hard for a scholarship. See you all when I'm older. I'll come and visit the school. Bye. Missing you all lots, from Paul XX

Hi,
Do you remember me!? The site is really cool. I've got a saw throat and nearly lost my voice! I remember when I lost my voice entirely at home time at Weeton!
I really miss the school but here in Larkhill I've made a new friend - Rhiannon. She's really nice!
I still keep in touch with Megan by phone and letter and email.
(I've know her since I was 1 or 2 - can't remember)
Well it's nice keeping in touch. I miss you all very much.
You've all written such lovely comments and most of you I can remember!
Goodbye, and I'll write often.

Hi all at Weeton. I'm missing you all and I love reading your updates daily. My new school is great. Luke is really into rugby and now plays scrum half for Ballynahish. He is also into motorcross. My mum has just bought a new horse for herself, she is called Grace. She is only 2 so she is still a baby and she has not been broken yet. My dad said that is my job and he is going to tie me to her till she stops bucking. Anyway I've got a lot to say but all I wanted to say was I'm missing you all (Mrs Lomas, Mr Goth, Mr Horrocks, well all of the school faimly).
I will keep in touch with you all. Chloe

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your latest update, Chloe. Good luck with your Mum's new horse. Best wishes from everyone at Weeton.

Hello, Mr H. This is the second time I've written to you! I have settled in to my school (since I have been here for more then a year). I hope you write back to me. I am in the juniors - Key Stage 2! I miss your school.
I'm all the way back in Larkhill and I've made new friends.
Miss you!
from Danny

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you again, Danny. Fancy you being in the juniors now! It doesn't seem five minutes since I was teaching you art when you were in Year 1. I hope you can still remember what the three primary colours are! Best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks

Would like to say a big hello to Millie and give her a big hug and kiss from Daddy. Hope that you are still working hard and earning your stickers. Lots of love from Daddy.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello Daddy! I think of you even at playtime, lunchtime and every time of the day. Even when I'm at home watching telly, I think of you. Hope you are well. Lots of love from Millie xxxxxxx

Hiya,
Just like to say hi and have been looking at the web page. Hi Mrs Lomas, miss your class. It's ok here because there's a swimming pool in camp and a zip wire in the park. Bye, need to do my homework. xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Mrs Lomas says "hello". She remembers how you improved in your swimming when you were here - so keep practising at the pool.
Mr Horrocks

Hiya everyone! I miss you all. I wish I was still at Weeton School. Just to say hi. I miss you all more and more by the second.
Love Rhi x
PS Hiya Mr Thornley. Hope you're doing ok. It's a shame I don't see you cleaning the window in a morning.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good news, Rhi. Mr Thornley is still cleaning the window each morning! He thanks you for your message. Keep trying hard at school.

Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone at Weeton,
I have just been looking at the pictures of you releasing balloons for Sean and just wanted to say how lovely it was of you. Everyone misses him so much. Lauren, Sam and Jake have all settled well in their new school, although they all wish that they could have stayed at Weeton School. I think that once a child has spent time at your school, no other can compare. We all loved how you were all so caring and how everyone really bonded, especially when the dads were away. I really miss Mrs Lomas. She always had the right advice for students and parents alike. I miss chatting to her and her words of wisdom. Michaela is almost 15 now and still says that Mrs Lomas was the "best ever". She's also settled in a bit more now and has the top grades in all of her classes.
Lauren says hello to you all and a big hug to Mrs Lomas. Sam and Jake send their love to Miss Nolan and the other Mrs Lomas!
Will keep looking in on your site,
Love Melanie Wright, (Michaela, Lauren, Sam and Jake's mum)

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to receive your message. We are all pleased to hear that Lauren, Sam and Jake are settling in their new school and it's good to know that Michaela is doing well with her grades. Everyone here sends them a big smile! Keep working hard!

We have lots of new children and families to get to know at Weeton. It's a little strange not having our "old friends" around us - but that's Weeton for you, and things move on. Of course, Sean's memory will live on here and we look forward to presenting his Award to special children in the future.

Do keep in touch. Our best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks

Would just like to say hi to my 2 lovely kids, Louise and Sean. I miss them so much and hope they are working extra hard while I am away. Give mummy a big kiss from daddy. Big kisses to you both xxxxxxx
Also hi to all the teachers in Weeton Primary School

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hi Daddy! We hope you are having a wonderful time at work. We are working very hard. We have a surprise at home for you. We hope you have a happy day at work.
Love from Louise and Sean xx

PS And "hello" from all the staff!

Hi Mrs Lomas,
I have just found your school website and decided to let you know how I am doing. I am now at Preston College, doing the chef's academy course. I also managed to get in as a scholorship student. I can't believe I have now been away from Weeton Primary over 5 years, but I still remember how nice it was to go to school there.
I hope you are still enjoying the Harry Potter books. I can still remember you reading the Harry Potter books to us on a Friday afternoon...
Well I just wanted to say hi, and you are all invited to a free meal when I open my first restaurant...
From Lewis.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It's great to hear from you, Lewis. I'm so pleased you've found our website. Do feel free to keep in touch.
Well done in gaining a student sholarship. All the best to you in the future.

I will certainly take you up on your offer of a meal. I look forward top eating at your restaurant!

Mrs Lomas

Hiya to all the teachers who remember us :)
It's by chance we came across the site so we just thought we'd say hi.
We are doing well. Sam's at Carr Hill 6th form studying hard and doing well especially in art her drawings are amazing.
Lauren's finished her 'A' Levels and now has a job working in sales administration for a promotional confectionary company. This may make you think she eats sweets all day but that's not so - ha ha.
Hope we can see our old teachers again in the near future:) x

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Really good to hear from you - glad you found our website! We are pleased everything is going well for you both. It would be good to see you again sometime, and some of your drawings, Sam. We like our artwork at Weeton! You would obviously be guaranteed a huge yelp of joy from Mrs Lomas!
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone at Weeton including you Mr Thornley!!
Missing you all loads! We have settled in well and the new school is good - only 9 pupils in my class so smaller than Weeton - never thought that was possible (25 kids in the whole school). We are 5 mins from the beach and Saffie my horse loves it there - I have even got her to go in the sea once!
Your pictures of Sean and all the tributes are lovely and really show him as he truly was - a very happy special boy and I am really glad that I got to know him. Ryan is always round our house with Luke. Luke is good. He has also settled into his new school well (let Mrs Lomas know)! He is playing rugby and into his motorcross, so very sporty but we can't get him to ride the horse - he he he!
Love to you all and when we come over to visit we will call into to see you all! Miss my Weeton Family! :-)
Hope that you email back soon!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hope this reply is soon enough, Chloe! It's strange not seeing your smiling face around school, after all these years. Thanks for giving Mr Thornley his first special mention - he says "Hello!".
Thanks for your thoughtful words about Sean. I hope like the class pictures - when you were both in Class 2 and 4.
What a big school you now go to! And it sounds like a great place for Saffie - and Luke!
We have lots of new members to our school family now - but we'll always remember the "old" ones. So best wishes to all your family, and we look forward to seeing you back at Weeton sometime in the future.
Keep smiling (I know you will!),
Mr Horrocks

PS We would love to see a picture of your new school - or the beach! If you email one to school, I'll put it on the website.

Hi everybody at Weeton Primary School. I am enjoying my new school. We have lots of homework so we are very busy. I like the beach and I have just started swimming lessons. Hello to Miss Russell, Sophia, Mr Horrocks and everybody else who knows me. MISS YOU LOADS xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello, Ellie! We thought we might be hearing from you soon! We are pleased you like your new school. Everyone seems to be enjoying living near the beach. Sophia is now in Class 3 - only 12 children in her class! Good luck with the swimming lessons and don't forget to do your homework! Keep in touch.
Mr Horrocks

I am very interested in working at your school. It looks absolutely fabulous. I truly believe that learning should be fun as well as educational and from your colourful website everyone looks like they enjoy being at school, even you the teachers. That's what I want - a job I can't wait to go to. I have enquired with the secretary as to how to get to you because I would love a visit, even more so now I have seen the school and the staff.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Wow! I hope we all live up to your expectations!
Mr Horrocks

Would just like to say hello to my three children: Kovac, Xianitia, and Brandon. I love you so much, all my love Daddy. Keep working hard, I'm sure you are. Also hello to the teachers of Weeton Primary.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello, Dad! We are working hard in school. We miss you. I was in the Best Efforts Book on Friday (Xianetia!). Can't wait until you get back. Love Kovac, Brandon and Xianetia XXX

Hi everyone at Weeton, missing you loads. In Ireland it is brilliant. We have our own beach with lots of seals on it. I go to Cumran Primary School and my teacher is called Mrs McDade and I am revising for the 11+ test. I have made lots of new friends. I am missing my friends: Abigail, Sophie, Amber, Tiffany and all the teachers. In October it's my birthday and I cannot wait, I am having a sleepover with 5 friends.

Bye bye xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Aimee. So pleased you are enjoying Ballykinler. We have to make do with a field with some cows in it, here at Weeton! The girls were happy to hear your news. Amber says you were the best person she has ever sat next to in class! Good luck with your 11+.

Best wishes to all the family, from Mr Horrocks

I have seen the jobs advertised for teaching assistants for your school and thought I would look at your wesite. I must say that I am very impressed with it, the first thing that stood out was the colour and how cheerful it looked and the other thing was I thought it was nice to meet everyone before I had even done an application! What a wonderful site, well done to staff and most of all the children for all the happy faces.


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your kind words. Our website has been useful for new children moving to our school, children who have left us and still keep in touch, and - most recently - for dads in Afghanistan.

Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton Primary School. Hope you are all OK. We are now in our 3rd week at Cumran Primary School. Charlie likes it, but he takes too long eating his dinner. I am working really hard at the minute for my 11+ test, which is in November. My Teacher Mrs McDade is helping me lots but I really miss Weeton. Charlie keeps asking mum when are we going back to Weeton, mum said he is too little to understand that we live here now, although I wish we could come back. We have sheep in the field right next to our School, and we can see the Mourne Mountains from our classroom windows. I have just signed to play for the local village of Ballykinler in Sunday League Football. We had our first game at the weekend and got beat 6-1. We need Mr Goth to come and train us. Speak to you all soon, and we miss you lots. Love Jacob and Charlie Bell xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello, Jacob and Charlie! So good to hear your news. We've got lots of new faces at Weeton School now. I'm trying hard to learn all the names. Would you like Mrs Lomas to pop over and help you prepare for your 11+, Jacob?! On second thoughts, I can't let come - she's got plenty to do here at Weeton. And Mr Goth is even busier now that he's our Deputy Headteacher! I hope Charlie speeds up eating his dinner!
Best wishes to all the family from Mr Horrocks

HIYA everyone! It's Rhi, missing you all. Glad to hear that you're all ok. Love an ex pupil Rhi.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello, Rhiannon! It seems strange you not being here at school doing your early morning monitor job. Hope all is going well at school for you.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hello Mrs Lomas and everyone who has just started Year 6 especially Joe, Kelsey, Sophie and everyone else I knew. I hope you're all having a great time. I will be coming to school to give back the public speaking trophy and hopefully I might have enough time to pop into a lesson to see you all. See you all soon. Ryan Wilson x

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We would love to see you (and the trophy!) again soon, Ryan. Hope all is going well at High School.
Mrs Lomas

Hello everyone. So sad to see one of the family, Sean has passed away. I didn't know him but from what I have read he seemed such a happy, charming and brave boy, R.I.P matey.
I'm now in London playing for Chelsea FC football academy, I'm loving it. As a Man United fan it's not too pleasing wearing the Chelsea kit everyday for training and pulling on the shirt on match days but some things in life have just got to be done!
Anyway, hope you have all had a good start to the new school year and have started as you mean to go on!!
Love from Aims :)

____________________________________________________________________
REPLY: As always, good to hear from you Aimee. Thanks for your kind words about Sean. He too was a Man United fan, and he loved his football.

We've had a busy start to the new term, with lots of new children and new families (from a new regiment) to get to know. You know what army life is like: people coming and going (and sometimes returning) all the time.

It must be a real strain for you wearing the wrong colour! Anyway, we are all really proud of you - so keep scoring goals!

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi Mr Horrocks, Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas. When I went to school today, my teacher Mrs Holmes gave me an envelope containing my progress award and medal. I have worn it for the whole day. Thank you so much, I am really proud to have it and hope that I can do just as well at my new school. Missing you all tonnes. Tyler xxxx

____________________________________________________________________
REPLY: Your message has made our day! We can just picture you wearing your medal, Tyler. You deserved it. Now keep working hard and keep smiling - we're sure you will continue to make even more progress this school year. Keep in touch.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks, Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas

Hi everyone, I'm writing just to ask if you enjoyed your holiday - I did. I'm enjoying Carr Hill so much but I miss Mrs Lomas so much. Got to go, bye.
From your ex pupil Christie-Leigh

PS I promise to write again
___________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Christie-Leigh. Glad to hear you are enjoying life at Carr Hill. Everyone seems to miss Mrs Lomas! Do keep in touch (or call in and see us) and let us know how things are going.
Mr Horrocks

Hi Mrs Lomas, I started at my new school this week. It's ok but not as good as Weeton. I really miss everyone over in England, especially you Mrs Lomas. My mum and dad are going to bring me over some time to visit you all and I can't wait. Would you please say hello to Joe and Bradley for me. Miss you all loads. I'll keep in touch. Speak again soon. Lots of love, Kyle Foxley

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Kyle. I am sure you will soon grow to like your new school. It's sure to take a while. After all, you were with us at Weeton for so long. Anyway, keep smiling and do your very best at school. Keep in touch.
Mrs Lomas

We were very touched and honoured as to what you are doing in memory of Sean. I must admit it brought a tear or two to my eye but it is a really honoured gesture. THANK YOU. Sean loved your school. He felt like it was a family. I would love to see pics of the award and the balloon release, and Mr Horrocks I hope you received my letter and Sean's order of service. Once again, thank you to all the staff for making my son feel special. X

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I'm so glad to hear that you approve of our plans to remember Sean at Weeton. I actually sent you an email to tell you all about it (before mentioning it on our website) and to thank you for your letter and the order of service (it looks as if the email didn't reach you). We'll treasure Sean's order of service, and you will certainly get to see pictures (and hopefully a video) and hear all about our service for Sean.
Regards, Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton
How is everyone doing? I started my new school on Wednesday. It is really nice and I have made lots of friends. Hello Mrs Lomas, Abigail, Sophie and Mr Goth. I have heard about Sean, it is very bad news. I have talked to Lauren, Aimee and Jade. My new house is very big and the garden is big too. There is an apple tree in my garden!
Got to go, bye

Would just like you all to know that Sean has an in memory web page that anyone can visit. It is http://seanevans.memory-of.com. Please feel free to visit,
I'll keep in touch with your school web page.

Hiya Mrs Lomas
How are you all doing over in England, while I am sitting here in Nothern Ireland? I really miss evrything about Weeton School. I am back at school on Monday. I am going to Tyrella. It was just a quick one to say hi to everyone. Love an ex pupil Rhiannon Budd

PS Hiya Miss Russel. I miss coming in to your class room on a Monday. I will send some pictures of my new school. Rhi

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Rhi. We hope everything goes well at your new school. You never know, you might get the job as a monitor! Work hard and be happy. Best wishes from Mrs Lomas and Miss Russel

Hi everyone. I have settled in very well and I'm missing you all. Mrs Lomas, I am never ever going to forget you, the best teacher that anyone could wish for.

I heard about Sean. I went to his funeral. My dad bugled for him and we were all crying.

I wish I was back at Weeton with Mrs Lomas. I wish I could have brought her in my suitcase. Tell Brad and Joe that I said hello. Well, I'd better be getting off now. I miss you all. Bye, love Paul x

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you Paul. Glad to hear you have settled in. We were all very sorry to hear about Sean. We are going to do something special at school to remember him - he was such a brave lad.

Sorry we couldn't let you take Mrs Lomas with you! We need her at Weeton!

Best wishes to Olivia and your Mum and Dad, from Mr Horrocks

Hi to all at Weeton, we are all missing you loads. Wish we could both go back to Weeton School this year again. We like it here, but not sure that my mum does. She really misses Weeton. I hope to see you all again. Say a big hello to Mrs Lomas for me and tell her I said thank you for everything. She is the best. Love Kyle and Josh Foxley

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message. Glad to hear you like it over there. I'm sure you mum will like it eventually. I'll be seeing Mrs Lomas (she'll love your message) and all the staff again soon, as we get ready for the new term and all our new families. It's going to be a busy time - as usual! Anyway, keep in touch - work hard and be good lads (I know you will!).
Best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks
PS Have you seen the "farewell" article in the Gazette? There's a link on the Home page.

Hi Weeton, I know you guys are all enjoying your well deserved summer holidays. I just was thinking of my precious Shannon and Kian and saw on your website they had replied back to me. I just wanted to say hi. When you guys return to school, send a message to them for me please - it's very important that they know that the puppy hasn't eaten the carpet, but a couple of pairs of underwear! Thank you Weeton for providing such a nice enviroment for all the children. Enjoy your vacation, Vic and Tony xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY coming soon from Shannon and Kian!

Hi to all the staff and pupils at Weeton, I'm afraid I have some very sad news. Sean passed away at home in Ireland on Friday 10th August. Even though he fought a brave and courageous battle, his little body just could not take any more. We wanted you all know that you were very caring and kind to us while Sean was alive and we cannot thank you enough. We had a lovely service for him, no drab colours, everyone was in football shirts, and afterwards we released balloons to symbolise that he is now free from his pain.
Many thanks for all your support and kindness.
XX from Sean.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Dear Mrs Evans, When we launched this website just over a year ago, I never imagined that such sad news would come its way. Like me, I am sure everyone who knew Sean when he was at Weeton will be thinking about you and your family at this time. When the new term starts, I know we will do something special at school to remember Sean and the happy times we shared with him.
With kind regards, Mr Horrocks

Hi, it's Mitchell. How are you all? We have now moved into our new house and it is lovely. All of my family are going to Torquay on Friday. I hope all of my old friends dads had a safe journey back from Iraq . I really miss Weeton School and my old friends. I hope they had a safe journey to N. Ireland. I will really miss them and of course the teachers. We all love living down here. Dad's just bought a motor bike for him and mum. Sheriden works in a cafe on Saturday. Lianne is still disco dancing. Joel loves school and I play out every night with all my friends. Speak again soon.
PS How is the Braithwaite tree doing?
Mitchell

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for all your news, Mitchell. I hope you have a good summer holiday. I'll get some of your old friends to send a message to you when we go back to school in September. We'll have lots of new children then. The Braithwaite tree is doing fine (I think!); I'll try to remember to take a photo of it so you can see how it's growing!
Best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks

This is to Louise and all Sean's family, Sadly I have just heard from Caroline that Sean has passed away. My heart and love goes out to you all. Take care.
Anne, Andrew's grandma xxx

We have just heard the sad news today that Sean Evans passed away. He will be so sadly missed. If you were lucky enough to meet him you will know that he had a smile that could touch so many hearts and was so happy and bubbly that his illness never showed through. He will never be forgotten and will be in our hearts forever. Our thoughts are with his parents at this very hard and sad time. xxxxxxx

Hi,
It is great at my new school. I like it as much as Weeton. I have got loads of friends there.
I still miss Weeton.
Hope you had a good sports day.
Sorry that I have not sent a message yet, so I thought that I should send one soon.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It's good to hear from you, Lucy. Pleased to know you have settled in your new school. We had a really good sports day - Reds won! We held it on the playgrounds and grass, because the field was too wet. Hope you are having a good holiday - I am!
Best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks

Hello again,
I read all the comments in the guestbook. There are a lot. I have only just read them because I have been so busy. I think Elle in my old class had a really nice one. I sometimes see her so I can thank her then. Hope you are all having a lovely time.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: That was quick! Have you read Elle's "Cyberman" report on the News page?
We had a busy time at the end of term, with lots of people leaving. Hopefully, everyone is enjoying the summer holidays now.
Mr Horrocks

Hi! My name is Jamie and my mummy and daddy have just completed a registration form for me to attend your school. I hope to see you in September! I came for a drive today to see where your school is and I liked it. I like the idea of the feelings box and Rainbow Room.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for your message Jamie. I just know you will like the INSIDE of Weeton School when you join us in September. In the meantime, enjoy the summer holidays!
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks (on holiday!)

Hi,
I am really missing you all. I am having great fun at my aunties. I will be going to my new house on Saturday. Could you say hi to Mrs Gilyead and Mr Goth? Thank you.

____________________________________________________________________
REPLY: Hope the move to your new house goes well. Clara. Mrs Gilyead and Mr Goth will no doubt read your message as they enjoy their summer holidays!
Mr Horrocks

Hi,

Hi Weeton,

Really missing you all. Hope you are all doing great. Hello Mrs Lomas and Mrs Leech.
What is the new Class 6 like? Are they as good as the old Class 6. Laura and Olivia say "hello".

____________________________________________________________________

Hiya Mrs Lomas and Class 6. How are you all doing? I am missing you all. Mrs Leech: missing doing art with you on a Monday. Abigail, Tiffany and Sophie: missing you and leaving all my best mates behind. Mrs Lomas: you're the best teacher I could ever have wished for. I am missing you and all of the school, especially Classes 5 and 6. Love from an ex pupil, Rhiannon or Rhi

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you so much for your message. We miss you too but do remember other members of Class 6 will be with you soon.

We have just had our Special Celebration Assembly. Tiffany and Sophie won the Modern Languages trophy. Sophie won the Friendship Award and a Reading Award. Jade got Year 6 Reading Award. Tiffany won the Maths Award along with Ryan. Christie-Leigh won Good Citizen (along with Angel). Amber won Sports. Christopher and Corey got a Progress Award. Daniel got a Long-Serving Pupil Award. It was a super celebration. We hope you will have lots to celebrate in Ireland.

Hi Mrs Lomas

Just a wanted to tell you that I've been working really hard at St Mary's & have reached my first goal - to be in the top set for all my subjects! I did what you said & worked really hard' My mum & dad are chuffed & proud of me.

PS My dad is doing really well now & is not in a wheelchair anymore! Miss you all loads. Charley X

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: That's my girl! Well done, Charley. We are all so pleased to hear about your dad. It was lovely to see you all in school the other week. Mr Horrocks has got lots of pictures of the Open Afternoon, including the one of your family. When he's got time (after he's had a summer break!) he'll be putting them on the website.

Have a lovely summer.

Best wishes to you all from Mrs Lomas and the staff

I would like to take this time to thank all the staff at Weeton Primary School for all your hard work and support you have given to Elizabeth and Falemaka. I know they will really miss the school but I hope they will find their new school as excellent as Weeton Primary. Thank you very much and God bless you all.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It has been a real pleasure having your children as part of our school family - they are both a credit to you. Falemaka very nearly went all the way through the school with us - from Reception to Year 5. And it doesn't seem five mintues since he brought his new baby sister into school to show us! At least Elizabeth spent her first year at school with us. Everyone sends their very best wishes to you all - have a happy future and do keep in touch via our website!
Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton Primary School. I have safely arrived in Ireland and on summer holidays. Ha-ha! I just wanted to thank all of you and the teachers for the things you've done and want to know who won the Public Speaking Competition. Bye.

Best wishes from everyone at Weeton, Mr Goth

Hi Mr Horrocks and everyone in Class 1
We have arrived in Ballykinler and it is great. There is a really nice beach for me to go and play on and rock pools to look for sea creatures in. There are also two really nice parks to play at and an Astro Turf pitch which I really love.

I spent two weeks at Tyrella school which is changing its name to Kindle in the Autumn. It is really nice and my new headteacher Mr Lemon is very nice.

I can't wait to see all my friends when they get here, but I miss everyone there too and will try and keep in touch. Hi to Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas

Lots of love Tyler

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We are really pleased to hear that you like Ballykinler and your new school. We have got the Public Speaking Competition this afternoon. Class 1 will be doing Incy Wincy Spider. We can't wait to hear it! Enjoy your long summer holiday. Hope the weather is better with you than it is here - it's still raining!

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks, Miss Nolan and Mrs Lomas

Jodie-Leigh would like to say hi to all her friends from Weeton Primary School, especially Ellie D and Olivia. She has settled well in her new school in Burnley, but talks about her short time at Weeton a lot, and we often have a look at the school website. Thank you for making her time there a good time.

All the best, love from Jodie-Leigh and Jodie-Leigh's mum.

REPLY: Thank you for the message. We miss you very much. We hope to see you again sometime. We hope you have a nice summer holiday.

Love from Ellie and Olivia

Hello, Just wanted to say that although we are looking forward to moving away and living back home to be near our family in Grantham, we are all going to miss Weeton Primary School. I could not have wished for a better school for Callum to start his education. All the Staff, especially Miss Nolan & Mrs Lomas, have been fantastic. Every time I have come to the school to watch an event I have been taken back by it. The most recent was the home coming. Although we were lucky enough for Mr Sutton not to be deployed, I still had tears in my eyes. You have have always made me feel welcome and I know Callum has enjoyed every day he has spent with you. You will be a hard act to follow.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your kind words. We have all really enjoyed Callum being part of our school family. Without him, I would never have thought of introducing 4 and 5-year-olds to Shakespeare! I am sure Callum will continue to do well in his new school - he's a great little character. We look forward to hearing how he goes on via our website.

All the best for the future,
Mr Horrocks

Hi guys. We're just sending our love to our niece and nephew Shannon and Kian Friend. We were lucky enough to have a wonderful visit from Shannon a few weeks ago. She really enjoyed New York. I really want to thank you so much for looking after all these little people when parents have to be deployed. It means a lot to an aunt and uncle who live so far away. Keep up the great work.

Vicki and Tony

____________________________________________________________________
REPLY: Dear Auntie Vicki, Thank you for the message. Hope you and Uncle Tony are well. Love from Kian.

Hi Auntie Vicki and Uncle Tony! I hope your dog hasn't ripped up the carpet yet. I'm looking forward to seeing you again next summer (and Kian is looking forward to the summer after that!). Love you lots, from Shannon.

Hi again. Love your site x x x x

Hi Weeton
I am in Ireland now. It is great. Miss you all.

From all your friends at Weeton

I would just like to say a great big WELL DONE to everyone at Weeton School for the Welcome Home assembly. It was very heart warming. The children and staff all looked really happy. We will all miss the school very much when we leave for Ireland, especially Kyle. He has really enjoyed his time with the Weeton School family. WELL DONE EVERYONE.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you! It was a very special assembly. I think it said a lot about us as a school and what we have all been through this school year.

It doesn't seem five minutes since Kyle first started at Weeton School. As a staff, we will really miss the families of 2Rifles. The good thing is - we'll share lots of happy memories of the last 6 years or so.

Regards
Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton Primary School,

I just wanted to congratulate you all on what was a fantastic "welcome home" assembly. It was heartwarming to see the children and staff coming together as one family. A very well thought out assembly, so few words spoken, but so much said. You deserve to be very proud of yourselves and your school family. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Clare

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you! I was so proud of everyone today. We have all been through so much together this year, and we were rewarded with the sunniest of days to celebrate all that is dear to our hearts.

The children were excited to see the return of Prince Edward in his helicopter shortly after the assembly. Then, after our picnic lunch and games, it was good to see so many families looking around school in such a happy and relaxed way. Thanks for being with us on what has been another memorable day in the life of Weeton School.

Regards
Mr Horrocks

PS Lots of pictures coming soon!

Hi,

Just came on to have a look at the pictures of Blackpool's Grand Theatre - they look very good. I looked at the pictures of the dads coming home on the Gazette's website that was put on too.
So far, the website is fantastic.
Clara

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: The Grand Theatre has a brilliant website - almost as good as ours! I'm glad the link to the Gazette's website worked. They are possibly going to make a video of our "Welcome Home Dads" assembly next week. Let's hope the sun shines on what is going to be a very special day.

Mr Horrocks

Dear Weeton School,
We just had an amazing visit from our niece Shannon Friend, one of your students. She showed me your wonderful website and even emailed you guys while here in New York. I'm writing to tell you, I think you have such a loving environment for these special little people. It means so much to my family and I that Shannon and Kian have a stable environment to go to while my brother was in Iraq. Give big hugs to my nephew and niece. Keep up the great work!
Vicki and Tony Santiago

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you so much for your message. One of the reasons we set up our website was to let the families of our children - however far away they are - see what we are all doing at Weeton School. We are looking forward to hearing all about Shannon's holiday in New York. Kian (aka Little Mr Horrocks!) had to stay here, of course, to help me run the school! We have a special "Welcome Home Dads" assembly on 6th June, so watch out for some pictures!

Best wishes
Mr Horrocks

Hi Mrs Lomas, how are you doing? I have my end of year tests on the 11th June. I will pass on my science exam - I am great at it .
I will fail my German exam - I don't like it.
Miss you lots, Ben Tibbs X

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message Ben. Good luck with your tests - do your best. Enjoy the holiday.

Mrs Lomas

Hi Class 5. I am missing you all. New York really cool.
I went to the zoo on Friday [18 May] - it was good and I went to see Statue of Liberty. I had to go on a ferry to get there. It took 15 minutes to get there but it was good.
The best thing was Toys R Us. I will see you all soon. From Shannon Friend

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: All that way for a toy shop!! Everyone in Class 5 is really envious of you, Shannon. Enjoy the rest of your time in America. You will have lots to tell us when you return to little old Weeton!

Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton
Michael and I are moving to Ireland soon.
I hope the Year 6's did well in their SATs. High School is amazing though.
PS Hi Mrs Lomas

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I was really proud of Year 6 last week. They worked really hard. Class 3 will be sorry to lose Michael. So pleased you are still enjoying High School.

Best wishes, Mrs Lomas

I have to say a huge thank you to Ryan and Christie-Leigh for their fantastic tour of the school last week! Considering that was their first go at being tour guides they did an amazing job, well done!! You should be incredibly proud of them Mr Horrocks, if ever there were 'star of the week' awards to be won, they were worthy recipients!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message, Mrs Rossall. We really enjoyed showing you round our school. Mr Horrocks gave us both Headteacher's Awards on Friday!

From Christie-Leigh and Ryan

I came across your website after browsing the Lancashire Teaching Vacancies. What a delightful school Weeton Primary is - your classrooms are so bright and welcoming, and there is so much going on in and out of school. Teachers and children alike must feel very proud of what has been achieved at Weeton.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for writing a lovely message. We think our school is fun. Our teacher is Mrs Elletson and we think she is a good and happy teacher. Mr Horrocks is our Headteacher and we think he is a good one! We hope you visit our website again soon.

Best wishes from James, Ellie D and Elle C (Class 3).

Came across the site and it brought back a few memories! Mr Horrocks (I will be formal!) succeeded me as Deputy Headteacher. As I know personally, the Governors made the right choice in appointing him as Headteacher. The website is great. Weeton is a school in a very special situation and it is obvious that a very caring atmosphere has been developed. Best wishes and good luck to the school.
PS I retired to Scotland in 2002 and now thoroughly enjoy doing a bit of supply teaching without the paperwork and hassle!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Great to hear from you after all this time! It's about 18 years since I took over from you as Deputy. As you know, Weeton School is always changing - regiments, families and children come and go. We'll be celebrating the school's 50th anniversary next year and it would be really good if you could join us - I'll send you an invitation (although if you are ever in this area, call in and see us any time). We've got the go ahead (ie funding) for a building project to provide us with a new entrance, general office, library, extended staffroom and new toilets. Busy times ahead!

Regards
Mr Horrocks (also formal!)

Hello, just browsing through your website, what a lovely idea.
I have enjoyed meeting you all on the web and will look forward to seeing you all tomorrow when I arrive for my visit and interview.
Take care.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We look forward to welcoming you to our school.

Hello Everyone!! Just to say...I got in at Chelsea!!! So I'll be moving to London in August to start pre-season, can't wait! We play all our home games at the men's training ground so I'll be showing Frank Lampard a trick or two!

That's great about the sport kits, hope everybody wears it with pride!!
Take care everyone! :)

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: That's brilliant news, Aimee! Congratulations! That makes you our first (soon to be) famous footballer! If you'd like to email a recent picture to school, I'll put it on the website - along with some from when those Manchester United coaches came to Weeton. They spotted your potential then, so well done on your achievement.

Mr Horrocks

Hiya Mr Horrocks, Kimberley and I just want to say hi to the whole school and our friends there.


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you again. Hope you are all well and working hard!

Mr Horrocks

Wow! What an amazing website!! I have to say the guestbook is fantastic, and so personal, I didn't realise you replied to each guest! Other schools should sit up and take notice!! I really enjoyed my visit to the school and hope to see you all again soon!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your kind words. Yes, everyone gets a reply - from pupils to Princes! We actually had a mention in the Teachers magazine recently (March 2007). In an article about keeping in touch with the community it said:


" ... do you want to give your website something extra? Weeton Primary School in Preston, Lancashire, has a high turnover of pupils because it is on an army barracks. Its Guestbook, though, allows the community and ex-pupils to stay in contact."


Regards
Mr Horrocks

I visited the school the other day to collect an application form. I would just like to say the ethos of the school was amazing. It was so friendly, warm and cosy. The one thing that stood out for me was that everybody was smiling, staff and students! The classrooms are so bright and colourful, with excellent work displayed on the walls. I particularly like the idea of the Listening Box. I think it is a fantastic idea for the children who are unable to approach an adult to ask for help.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your message. The children are delighted that you enjoyed your visit to our school. Some of them could talk for England about their work and their ideas! At the moment they are thinking about designs for a new garden area. We plan to create a garden to remember all the children from this year - especially those who will be leaving us for Northern Ireland at the end of the summer term.
Mr Horrocks

Hello everybody!! Congratulation on receiving the Learning Excellence Award!!! I've checked out the new Football kit too, very impressive!! I hope the team play as well as they look!! I had trials for the Chelsea last Saturday. I find out in 2 weeks whether or not I get in, fingers crossed I will!! Hope everyone has been working hard and having lots of fun!! By the way, Ben Tibbs has settled into high school well and seems to be enjoying himself!! He sends his love!
Take Care

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Aimee. We've now got two posh football kits! Our netball and rounders teams have gone up market too. Not like the old days when you were here! Good luck with Chelsea. Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes
Mr Horrocks

Hope you're having a good time and the school is doing well. If it is ok, please may I come into school on Monday 16th April, as I'm still on holiday?

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We would be delighted to see you again, Callum. Do call in!

Mr Horrocks

We are the aunt and uncle of Alex King, who we have just viewed on your website. We are very proud of the fact that she was chosen to present a gift to the Earl of Wessex on behalf of the school. Well done Weeton Primary School.
Regards from Northern Ireland.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your message. Alex did really well on the morning of the Royal visit, when she presented the Earl of Wessex with the Weeton Bear for his daughter. We had a lovely letter from the Equerry to His Royal Highness, which included:


"Lady Louise is really lucky to have the delightful Weeton Teddy Bear and both the Earl and Countess are very grateful to the school for this and for the booklet that was given to them to keep. They mark a special visit."



Keep visiting our website to see how your niece is getting on at school.

Regards, Mr Horrocks

I am having a great Easter and I am really looking forward to coming back to school because Paizley will be there. Kara and Sheridan say hello to everyone in Class 1. Happy Easter.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Glad to hear you are enjoying the Easter holidays, Kyle. I'll bet Paizley is looking forward to seeing you again.

Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton School. It is really nice that I can still see Weeton School on the internet. My new school is very nice but I am having to re do some work that I have already done. I am going to do Egyptians again which means I am visiting the British Museum in London. But I am sure it won't be as eventful as my trip to Liverpool Museum. My Mum is going to pack a fire extinguisher in my lunch box - just in case there is a fire on this coach! See you soon - Ellie Moldrik

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you Ellie. Pleased to know you have found a nice new school. Lucky you, going to the British Museum. No doubt you will always remember your trip to Liverpool - for all the unintended reasons! I'll be putting some pictures of your Egyptian day on the website soon - so watch out for them. Regards to your Mum and Dad,
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone, I just want to wish everyone a Happy Easter. I can't wait to get back to school. See you soon.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: And a Happy Easter to you, Jessica!

Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton Primary, I was a student at the school 25 years ago and took part in the school's 25th anniversary party. I've been in contact with Mr Horrocks recently and I am looking forward to joining in the school's 50th anniversary.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It was really good to hear from you the other week. I've scanned some of the photos of you helping to celebrate the school's 25th anniversary - I'll be putting them on the website after Easter. There's also the picture of you with the school's winning entry - at the time of the Falklands War - for the Gazette's Seasiders' Competition. Some wonderful penguins! Let's hope we hear from some more ex-pupils before we celebrate the school's 50th next year.

Regards, Mr Horrocks

UPDATE: You can now see the pictures by clicking on the "Weeton School's 25th birthday" pdf link at the foot of our Home page.

Hi,
I really miss Miss Donnelly a lot and still a bit sad. Hope she is ok in her new house and she's happy with
her family.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I know Mrs Donnelly will be really pleased to hear that you are thinking about her - she'll be able to read your message.

Have a lovely Easter.

Mr Horrocks

Hi, everyone at Weeton School. We just came to have a look at the Easter eggs but we can't find them. Soon we will.
We really miss Lucy loads and hope she has a great time at her new school.
We hope Rachel is ok and not that poorly and is soon back.

Clara & Shannon

____________________________________________________________________

Sorry - I didn't have time to put the pictures of this year's Egg Competition on the website before we broke up. You will have wait until after Easter - something to look forward to! Last year's eggs can be found on the Special Days and Events page (there's a link on the Home page).

Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton School. I was sad Lucy went and I was glad to win the egg competition. I hope everyone is having a good Easter and I think Weeton is the best school ever. Bye for now. I hope Rachel is better after Easter.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We were all sorry to see Lucy go at the end of term. At least she hasn't moved far away, so we'll be able to keep in touch. Congratulations on your winning egg-try! I hope you enjoy the chocolate egg. Happy Easter!
Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton. I'm not at school because I'm not feeling very well. I hope you like
my eggs. They are Mr Men and Little Misses. I hope everyone has a good Easter
and I should be better by the time we come back to school. And please can you
say goodbye to Lucy for me. See you soon from Rachel.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Sorry you are not with us for this last week of term, especially with Lucy leaving on Friday. Your decorated eggs look great - very clever and colourful. The competition was judged this afternoon; the winners will be announced at 11am tomorrow. There's a special surprise for everyone who has entered. Sorry I can't tell you what it is!

Get well soon, Rachel. Happy Easter to you and all your family. See you back at school in April.

Mr Horrocks

Dear Mr Horrocks, Sorry I haven't been in touch. We have bought a 4 bedroomed house in Chilwell. It is GREAT because all my friends live around me and I live 2 minutes walk from my school. I am going on holiday with cubs and to Buxton for a week with my school. We're also going camping in May and in the summer holidays.

Lianne is doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award and will be going on holiday with them. Sheriden is working with a veterinary nurse for her work experience.

It is great living on civvy street because we have lots of friends!

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Mitchell. You all seem to be enjoying life. I'll get some of your Weeton friends to reply.

Hi it's Mitchell again. I forgot to ask you how the Braithwaite silver birch tree is doing. Hello to Mrs Lomas, who I saw on the playground a couple of weeks ago. I also saw you Mr Horrocks but I think you were in a rush so I didn't get to talk to you. Hello Mr Goth, I have got another male teacher who is as great as you. I will be in touch again soon, from Mitchellxx.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello again, Mitchell! We'll take a picture of the tree and put it on the website so you can see it. We are planning to make a new garden on that patch of grass where the tree is planted. Sorry I missed you the other week.


Mr Horrocks

Hello Weeton School. I hope you are all okay. Weeton School is the best school ever. From Stephanie.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: You have excellent taste when it comes to schools, Stephanie! I'm glad you enjoy being part of Weeton School. Everyone made super puppets last week; they looked really good in assembly yesterday afternoon.

Mr Horrocks

I love Easter - it's the best. Getting all the chocolate eggs. I have just finished doing my eggs for the competition. I have been doing it since 7.00 this morning and now it is 12.40 in the afternoon. I can't wait for the netball tournament. I am in it. I love this website. Bye for now.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: You have been busy, Amber! I'm looking forward to seeing all the decorated eggs on Tuesday. Is this going to be your lucky year?

Mr Horrocks

Hello Mr Horrocks, I'm happy to say "thank you" to all my friends at Weeton for helping me when I am sad (because of Mrs Donnelly leaving). She was a very good helper to me. She always helped me to blow my troubles away. Thank you.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I am sure, when Mrs Donnelly reads this, she will feel touched and proud of all those who have helped you in her absence. We should always remember - and live by - the good advice and help that people like Mrs Donnelly give us. Keep smiling!

Mr Horrocks

I would like to say thank you to Ellie. She was a really good friend to me. All the best. Yours sincerely, Jordan Brandon. Please keep in touch.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We all wish Ellie good luck in her new home and school. I am sure she will remember her two years with us at Weeton. We also thank her mum for being one of our school governors.

Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone, I heard about Mrs Donnelly leaving. I hope she is ok. High school is great but sometimes I miss Weeton. A big hello to Mrs Lomas and the whole of Class 6. Miss you all.


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for you message, Callum. It was good to see you at Parents' Evening the other week. I believe Mrs Donnelly is doing fine - you will no doubt hear more about her on our website in the future. Just like you and all the rest who leave us, we won't be forgetting her.

Mr Horrocks

So sorry to hear about Mrs Donnelly leaving. She was really nice to everyone at school especially me and Nicole. It is great looking at the pictures of Mrs Lomas and Class 6 with Prince Edward. Sorry to have missed it, but we are loving our life in Canada. Wishing you all a Happy Easter, Love Kimberley & Nicole.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello from chilly Weeton! Thank you for your message. It is Puppet Week here at Weeton. Our class is making marionettes. They are tricky to make because the strings get tangled! We'll put some pictures of them on the website for you to see.

We were really sad that Mrs Donnelly has left us.

Hope you enjoyed your birthdays. Hope you get lots of chocolate Easter Eggs! Have a Happy Easter.

Love Abigail, Sophie and Class 6.

Dear Mr Horrocks,
Many thanks for showing me and my family around your school today. It looks great and I can't wait until Sept 2008 when I will start. The puppets you were making looked good fun as too did the dressing up for Egyptian day. I hope you do that when I start school.
Thank you to everyone for being so friendly and for showing us round - special thanks to Jessica and Milly for looking after us too.
See you soon when I start at Honeypot.


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for coming to my school. I liked showing you around Class 1. See you soon. From Milly.

Hi everyone,
On 14th March 2007 it was my birthday. It was great fun even though I got splashed in the face with water at the swimming pool and different people must have sung ''Happy Birthday...'' to me 10 or more times but I would like to say a big thanks to everyone for making my tenth birthday so special.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: So, just one more time: "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.....!"

Hi, I would just like to say I am moving to Weeton in 4 weeks time with my 2 sons. My youngest - Nathan - will be attending Weeton Primary School. We are looking forward to meeting all the staff and I must say the school looks and sounds very welcoming. See you soon.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you. We look forward to meeting you after Easter. I am sure Nathan will like it here!

Regards, Mr Horrocks

Hello, Weeton Primary!

Glad to hear Prince Edward's visit went well. I'm sure he was very impressed with the school, as I was on my last visit. It was lovely to see everybody and I look forward to visiting again soon. Mrs Lomas, I loved spending time with your class! They're a very special group of children. Thank you as well to Mr Horrocks for showing me the new school developments - very impressive!

Take care.

Alex

Mr Horrocks

To all at Weeton,
Thank you for giving my Mum such a wonderful 10 years at Weeton, I know she has been very happy. The support you have given us both has been amazing, especially when Jayden was born. We will never forget you. You will all be missed dearly.
Thank you.
Love Charmaine & Jayden

Mr Horrocks

Hello Boys, Just thought I would send you a little message and see how things are going in School. Jacob, how is the football going? Charlie, Mummy said you are doing very well with your writing, keep it up son. The weather is getting very warm out here in Iraq now so the Creme Eggs you sent me have melted a little. Keep working hard boys and be good. I will see you soon. Lots of Love, Dad x

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: The football is going well dad. Charlie spelt your name the other day. The Creme Eggs were from Cadbury World. My mum won't tell me when you are coming home.

All our love, Jacob and Charlie

PS from Mr Horrocks: Mr Bell, if you click on "Class Pages" on the Site Navigation Menu and go to the foot of the page, you will find a pdf link which should bring a smile to your face.

I would like to say how professional all the staff and children were on the royal visit. Wishing you all the best on the school's 49th birthday, and I am most disappointed I will not be there for the school's big 50th. I might come back for a special visit (date has be pencilled in diary). Mrs S Hornett

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks! We all really enjoyed the royal visit and I am sure His Royal Highness enjoyed meeting everyone over at Honeypot. It's a shame so many of you will have moved to Northern Ireland before our 50th birthday next February. You really must come back and join in our celebrations. It wouldn't be the same without you!

Mr Horrocks

PS Anyone wishing to see pictures of The Earl of Wessex at Honeypot Under Fives Centre can visit their website: there's a link on our Office page.

I'm really pleased that your visit went well. I've read the write up and I'm sorry that I missed it. Bye for now.

Mr Horrocks

Well done Weeton School on a fantastic day. Not only were you celebrating your 49th Birthday but HRH The Earl of Wessex paid a special visit. I have heard so much about it from Jacob and Charlie, although Charlie was a bit disappointed that HRH was "not in his proper clothes". I think he was hoping that he would be wearing a crown. Anyway, "Happy Birthday Weeton"
Best Wishes, S Bell

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Yes, it was a very special day, especially when HRH lit the Friendship Ring candle in Charlie's class.

Mr Horrocks

Your Royal Highness,

We were delighted to welcome you to Weeton School this morning - the day of our school's 49th birthday! The children had been looking forward to your visit and were really excited. Class 1 were very pleased when you lit the Friendship Ring candle and became a member of our school family.

The children hope that Lady Louise likes the Weeton Bear. Thank you for making our 49th birthday so special.

With very best wishes from everyone at Weeton Primary School.

Hi Weeton
Just writing to say hello to everybody especially Prince Edward!
I am in set one for ICT. It is amazing.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for your message Daniel. We've had a lovely morning. Watch out for some pictures on our website soon. Keep working hard with ICT.

Mr Horrocks

How's everyone doing at school? Is Andrew back at school?

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Everyone is on holiday at the moment! We start back at school on Monday. Great news: Andrew returned to school for some half days a little while ago. He'll keep building up the days as he gets stronger.

Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton! Just to let you know that we are doing well. We have been great since we left Weeton. The high school is great and the primary is massive. It's like a high school. The high school here is bigger than Carr Hill (most likely 3 times the size). Tell Mrs Lomas that Melissa and I are missing her. She was the best of the best there ever was. Tell all the staff that we miss them too but the person we miss the most is Mrs Lomas.

My Mum is fine and so is my Dad. Georgia and Simone are great. They miss everything about Weeton especially their friends. Please can you tell all the staff that we miss them like mad (well mainly Mrs Lomas). Good luck with other class productions in the rest of the school year. Bye for now.


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for letting us know your news. So pleased you have all settled. Everyone misses Mrs Lomas! Keep visiting our website and see what your friends are doing at school.

Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

I can't wait to go and watch Danny the Champion of the World and I really, really, really can't wait for Prince Edward to come to Weeton School. I'm getting really excited!
from Daryl

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Yes, we've got some great days to look forward to at Weeton School. I hope your school uniform is beautifully ironed for Tuesday!

Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone at Weeton Primary School. We are missing the school and just to say to Mrs Lomas - I'm missing everyone.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello girls! It's good to hear from you. I hope you've all settled in your new home and schools. Keep in touch and let us know how things are going. Mrs Lomas sends her best wishes.

Mr Horrocks

As we were walking back from school (Ross, Jacob and Charlie), we had noticed that the daffodils had begun to sprout. This bought back memories of our dads being here to help us plant the bulbs and how when we see the daffodils in full bloom it will mean that they are a step nearer to coming home. I couldn't wait to find my special daffodil!! What a brilliant idea this was!!! Thank you from Ross

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: The simple ideas are often the best, Ross.

Mr Horrocks

It was lovely to see the bulbs that Jacob and Charlie had planted with their Dad, before he went to Iraq, are now beginning to grow. We noticed them as we walked home from school the other day. They both got very excitied and have told their Dad all about it.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We'll have to take some pictures of them for our website, then Jacob and Charlie's Dad can see them.

Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. How are you doing? I'm doing great because there is lots of snow to play in and lots more things I can do here. It is minus seventeen again. How cold is it over there?
Hi Tiffany. I have read all of your messages. Hope you are having lots of fun. Speak to you soon, from Kimberley

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY coming soon from Tiffany!

Hello everyone @ Weeton Primary.

Sorry it has been so long since we have been in touch, but we have been really busy. We have moved twice and are now settling into our new home. Cold Lake is completely covered in snow and has been since we arrived, it is at least knee deep. It is also very cold. Today's temperature is minus seventeen degrees. We have been down to minus thirty-five with wind chill - it felt more like minus forty-five. We didn't go out that day. We have to wear our snow pants, coats, boots, earmuffs, hats and gloves. It takes a while to get ready to go outside.

We are in Grade 5 @ St Dominic's School. Our brother Jamie is in Grade 8 at Assumption Jr/High School. We have had a good look @ the photos of Jack and the Beanstalk - they look great. Sorry we missed it. Everybody looks like they really enjoyed themselves. A special hello to Mrs Lomas and all of the people in Class 6 - we miss you.

Once again thank you for our presents. We love our scrapbooks you made. We look at them a lot to remember you. We hope everyone is ok. We have been ice-skating a few times now and we are getting good at it. The first time we went Jamie fell and broke his front tooth in half. Luckily the dentist fixed it and everything is fine now. We will be in touch again soon.


Lots of smiles, hugs and best wishes from Kimberley and Nicole Barnes,
Cold Lake, CANADA.
PS Mum says hello too!!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It's great to hear from you! So pleased to know that you are settling down to life in Canada. Mrs Lomas says "HELLO!!" (could you hear her!). Class 6 have made her some special "laugh" and "sneeze" signs - because both those things are so loud and she always makes them all jump!

Some really good news: Sean and Andrew have been coming back into school over the last week. Just the odd morning or afternoon, as they soon get tired. It's so good to have them back with us again.

We are all busy getting ready for our Royal visitor - Prince Edward. We break up on Friday, so we've lots to do before then. Watch out for some pictures of our special day.

Jack and the Beanstalk was a great success - everyone was brilliant. The giant looked really scary - and Paul (voice of the giant) gave a loud burp after swallowing Jack's mother!

I'll get some of Class 6 to write some more news to you next week. In the meantime, remember us to all your family. I'll bet your Mum isn't missing wet and windy dinner times!

Mr Horrocks

Hello Mr Horrocks,
I just want to say a big big thank you to all the school for helping me.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We will all miss you when you leave Weeton School. You must keep in touch though. Keep working hard and enjoy the rest of your time at Weeton, Jordan.

Mr Horrocks

I would like to say a very big thank you to Mrs Lomas (Class 6) and Mrs Donnelly for all their excellent support with Kyle these past few months. It's been a really great help. Thank you again.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your message, Mrs Foxley. Mrs Lomas and Mrs Donnelly really appreciate it. It's good to see how well Kyle is doing at school. A great effort from the lad!

Mrs Lomas

Hi Mr Horrocks and Mrs Lomas,
I just had to let you know about my grandson Ben Tibbs. At his first Parents' Evening at high school, we found out how well he is doing. He got good marks and we were told he is above average for many subjects We were also told that as Ben wants to be an engineer, the teacher said he would make it as a mechanical engineer if he kept up his good work.
A lot of this is due to the hard work that you, as his teachers and extended family, have got him where he is today.
Thank you.
Mrs Doyle, Ben's nana

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Dear Mrs Doyle
We are delighted to hear how well Ben is doing at high school - thank you for letting us know. I hope he continues to work hard and make good progress. In the meantime, Ethan contiues to fly the Tibbs' flag at Weeton!

Hi, I was looking at Weeton Primary website with my mum as I will be going there when our regiment moves up. I saw Kyle Elstob had written here, so I thought I would say "hello" as he is one of my best friends. See you soon Kyle. I will phone you Wednesday after tea. Paizley

Hi, I have nothing at all to do with Weeton School except that three of my Brownies at the 1st Elswick Brownie pack go there and one of them, Katie Morgan, asked me to have a look at her school's website. She is obviously very proud of it and rightly so. It is lovely - very moving. Glad to see pictures of Jack and the Beanstalk. Abigail told me all about it.
Hope "the dads" all return safely - the sooner the better. I will miss the girls when they move on, but wish them all the best and promise them that I will keep an interested eye on proceedings at their old school.
Thank you, Sharon Mason - Brownowl

Hi to everyone at Weeton Primary School - teachers & pupils.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We were hoping to come in before you broke up but Sean & his baby brother were feeling under the weather. Didn't want to take any risks in Sean ending up in hospital for Christmas. Luckily we had a 'hospital free' Christmas. Sean has started his 6th block but we now know he has more treatment to have so I doubt he'll be back to school for a while yet. As you can imagine, Sean is gutted by that!!!

Sean and I met Ray from X Factor in hospital the other day. Sean had his photo taken with him. That put a smile on his face!!!

My family and I would just like to say again a BIG THANK YOU to all the boys & girls & teachers for their hard work raising all that money for the children's hospital. They are deeply grateful, as are we. Thank you for all being such a support at this difficult time. It feels like we're all one big family. Happy New Year to you all. See you soon.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for all your news. We all send our best wishes for 2007 and hope Sean's latest treatment goes well. I'm sure Mr Goth will put lots of work together to keep Sean busy!

Mr Horrocks

Can't wait to see the pics of the governors.

After commenting on the Infants performance of "A Brand New Star", I thought it is only right to comment on the wonderful performace of "Jack and the Beanstalk" from the Juniors. It was fantastic. The children looked amazing in their costumes, and I know Mrs Pridmore had a lot to do with that. Well Done Everyone, and Merry Christmas.

____________________________________________________________________

Hello everyone at Weeton Primary. I just want to say well done to Classes 1, 2 and 3 for a super afternoon's entertainment today. I really loved the singing. It was the first time I have visited the School and I must say, what a lovely, friendly school it is. I hear a lot about the school from Jessica and Emilia who are both very proud of it and love attending. Keep up the good work.

____________________________________________________________________
REPLY: It was good to see you in school yesterday - so pleased you enjoyed A Brand New Star. You'll be able to see some pictures on the website soon. We've just had the dress rehearsal for tomorrow's Jack and the Beanstalk - it went really well. Watch out for pictures! Have a Happy Christmas.

Mr Horrocks

I would just like to say how much I enjoyed the infants "Brand New Star" performance today. Those 3 wise men were great. Charlie was very pleased with his "Wise Man" costume as it was gold, and he looked fantastic. I could tell how much effort everyone had put into it, especially Amy Hornett, who I think could have done a "solo". I am looking forward to the junior performance of "Jack and the Beanstalk" on Thursday.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Glad you enjoyed the performance - the children did really well. They had lots of new songs to learn. See you at Jack and the Beanstalk!

Mr Horrocks

Hello Mr Horrocks. We are busy in Class 1 with our Christmas play. We hope you like it. We enjoyed seeing the photos of Sean with the arts and crafts. It looks beautiful in our class in the Christmas grotto. Hope you can visit it soon.

Hi Mr Horrocks,
It's Kimberley and Nicole's last day on 1st December 2006 (tomorrow). I am really sad to see them go to Canada. I just want to let them know: Bye - you are the best friends ever. I'm so sad that you are going to Canada. Bye Kim and Nicki, have a good time in Canada and good luck.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It's always sad when friends move on, Tiffany. The girls have a great adventure ahead of then in Canada though, and we'll be able to keep in touch with them via the website. Just like we did when you lived in Germany. We are also losing Mrs Barnes and we thank her for all her good work at Weeton. We wish all the family a happy new life in Canada.

Mr Horrocks

Hello Mrs Lomas, Mr Horrocks and everyone else at Weeton. I WISH I WAS BACK THERE AND LISTENED MORE. High school is hard. I miss Mrs Lomas's class so much - best teacher I have ever had. xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Once you've been in Class 6 it's never too late to remember all the good advice Mrs Lomas gave you. Be good and work hard, Guy. And look after those brothers of yours. Call in and see Mrs Lomas sometime - she'll be pleased to see you.

Mr Horrocks

I love being in Class 4 and Class 5. I love that topic on teeth. I liked the new teacher we had this afternoon.
Georgia Kaitlin Knight


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Well, Georgia Kaitlin Knight, I am so happy you seem to be so happy at school. Keep doing your very best all the time!

Mr Horrocks

Hi
I like how you have put our newspaper on the website, it looks great. I enjoyed interviewing Mrs Donnelly with Elle.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: You all worked really hard to produce your newspaper, Jessica. We can always add some extra pages - including yours - on the website and the name of the paper. Now it can be read all over the world!

Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone. I really like this school now that it is the play of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK. I really like doing all our work. From Rachel

REPLY: I can't wait to see the giant appear on stage!

Mr Horrocks

Hi ya everyone at Weeton. I love my picture on the news page. I love this school - it's ace. Mrs Lomas, you have got a great class. Rhiannon

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: The picture of you and Jordan does look good. Hopefully, it will encourage people who see it to fill a box for the soldiers in Basra.

Mr Horrocks

Hi Andrew, just wanted to say I enjoyed you coming over to play the other night. How is your chemo going? Did you find your cat? When are you home again? I go back next week for my 5th block of chemo, the last one before Christmas. I'm getting excited about Christmas. What are you wanting? I want an air hockey table. Take care - keep well. My mom says hello to your mom & dad.
Bye
from Sean

Aimee Peet and I found each other in A block corridor. We are good friends now. Bye for now. Miss you Mrs Lomas xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Pleased to hear you have met up with Aimee - remember me to her. Hope she is still playing football. Keep working hard, Ben. Behave yourself and just remember all the things I've told you.
Mrs Lomas

Hi everyone, it's Jordan here. I'm at my grandma's house and we are looking at your web page. Hello Mrs Donnelly. I miss you very much. I'm having a good time in Newcastle. I hope Andrew gets better soon. I rang him this morning at hospital. Bye everyone xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Jordan. Good to know that you are enjoying Newcastle. I hope you are trying hard at school. Andrew keeps popping in to spend some time with his class. We are still hoping that his cat Gismo will turn up again. Take care.

Mrs Donnelly

Hi Mrs Leech,
Just wanted to say I had great fun making the mask. I can't wait to come back in and help with some more. I've got loads of ideas!!!!! You'll never get rid of me now. Even though Sean isn't at school regularly I want to do my bit to help with the Christmas production. Just tell me off if I get too carried away or over take the situation. Sean wasn't very happy I didn't let him help but I was having too much fun! See you on Monday afternoon or sooner if you need me.
Bye from me and bye from Sean.
PS Mr Horrocks - you have alot of shopping to do!!!! Many thanks once again for all your time and generosity. The hospital will be sooo pleased. Thanks.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Mrs Leech will have plenty of jobs for you to do on Monday! I'm just waiting to hear from HobbyCraft. The hospital will hopefully be organising the local press for when we take everything over.
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton, especially Mrs Lomas and all the class and Mr Goth. I am living in a place called Chilwell. We have a Retail park just down the road and it takes about 5 minutes to walk there. Just down the road again we have a little mini Tesco and fish and chips and a Chinese, plus McDonald's. I really enjoy living here because it's on civvy street and it's a new Barratt house. I do miss Weeton School but I also like my new school and like living here. I will keep in touch on the web. Seeeeee you later!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for more news about life in Chilwell. I'll get someone from Class 6 to send a message, Mitchell.
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyboby in Class 5! Sean has been in hospital this week having his chemo so I thought I'd write on his behalf. I know he misses his friends a lot (even dare I say, school work). He wants to come in next week but I said we have to make sure everybody is well enough. With this cold weather there's lots of colds going round. As you know, Jamie Povey was over and that made Sean so happy. He still has a smile on his face now! It was lovely of them to come over to see us. We didn't want them to leave. We celebrated with fireworks invited Mrs Wright & her family & Mrs Foxley & her family. Sean's dad & Jamie's dad let them off. They had more fun than the kids!!! If there is anything me or Sean could do to help with Christmas festivities at school, please let me know. I'd love to repay the kindness you have all shown us.
Take care class 5.
Be GOOD for Mr Goth!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Class 5 are busy with "Jack and the Beanstalk" - it's the Roald Dahl version. They are having great fun making the giant, learning their lines and getting to know all the songs. I am sure they would appreciate any help you could give with the costumes and props. We'll see you soon.
Mr Horrocks

Hello Jamie, thanks for coming all the way over from Ireland to see me. It was the best surprise. I loved our sleep overs (even though we drove my mom & dad crazy talking all night) he he! I had soooo much fun with you I can't wait to see you at Christmas. Tell your dad that Callum could beat him at bowling. Tell your mom that my mom misses her lots.
Bye Jamie - see you at Christmas.

It was nice to see we raised lots of money for Andrew and Sean, and I am so pleased Andrew has got his laptop. I thought the pictures of Sean with his gifts were great.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We are hoping to take all the gifts and the rest of the money collected (to buy more art and craft things) to Sean's hospital very soon.

Mr Horrocks

It was great to come over to Weeton again and visit people I haven't seen in a while. The school I go to now is really big (about 700!!) but it's great to make new friends but I will never forget my friends in Weeton. When we came over last week I didn't want to go back because I had such a good time staying and playing with my best friend Sean. It was ace! We will all be over again in a few weeks time, so Louise and Keith beware! Thanks Mr Horrocks for letting me come into your school and seeing everyone again and especially all the teachers. Take care everyone. Sean - you are the best!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It was good to see you, Jamie. Even though you go to a different school now, we still think of you (and all the others like you) as part of our school family. So you are welcome back any time, Jamie. Have you read Andrew's message about the cat that appeared the day you came into school? It was his cat - Gismo. We are hoping Gismo will turn up again soon.
Best wishes,
Mr Horrocks

Lisa and I would just like to say thanks to Louise and Keith Evans for putting up with us on our recent visit (there's more to come ha ha). I'm not really looking forward to Sean embarrassing me again at bowling though! I hope we didn't make you too tired Sean but we did have a good laugh. I haven't seen Jamie have such a good time in months. He really enjoyed those four days with his pal. Thanks again.

Hi everyone in Weeton Primary. I've just been updating myself on the goings on at the school. I like the pictures on Sean's page. He looks so pleased with his gifts for the hospital. I met Sean's mam on my last visit. I wish her and Sean well for the future. I'm hoping to be back there in the New Year, hopefully come into the school again. You have such a lovely community. You should all be proud at the hard work you put into it. It's good to see Gismo again. Hope he can be found as the weather is getting really bitter. Thankyou for your gift to Andrew. I'm sure he is delighted with his laptop. It would be nice to see some pictures of him on his page. Thank you once again for all the help and support you give my family. Anne x

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you again. Just got your message before I go home! I've just added some pictures of Sean when he had a ride in a helicopter. The money raised for the boys has just gone up to £1424. Andrew called in to school to see us yesterday morning. I'll try and get a picture of him next time he's here, and put it on his web page. So keep visiting the website. We've got some amazing pictures coming soon of a water pump we funded for a village in Mozambique. What a difference our children have made to the children all those miles away. We just need to find Gismo now!
Take care,
Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone at Weeton, especially Mrs Lomas and all my class and Mr Goth!!!! Sorry I haven't been in touch. I'd forgotten the address. Anyway I live on a estate called Charlton Park. I've got the 2nd biggest bedroom and my mum and dad have got the biggest and highest bedroom. I am at a school called ESKDALE JUINIOR SCHOOL. I have lots of friends. I am at the 1st Chillwell and Attenborough cub scouts and nearly all my friends are there. I got invested 2 weeks ago. I had to know my promise and my law. I had a Tudor day on the 9/11/06 just like I did in Class 5. My teacher is called Mr Caldwell. I have a friend who lives next door to me called Rouven - he's a German boy. I really like the area around here. We have a nature reserve just up the road. It is all about the birds. It has a cafe and a long path with a massive lake what goes around it. There is a retail park with loads of shops.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you, Mitchell. You seem to be really enjoying life. Classes 4, 5 and 6 are busy rehearsing a panto - Jack and the Beanstalk. They've made a huge giant's head and hands. Abigail is playing Jack, and Jordan is the mother! We'll put some pictures on the website. Best wishes to all your family.
Mr Horrocks

Hi
Mrs Elletson's class is great.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: That's good to know, James. Keep trying hard!
Mr Horrocks

Hello, Sean. I see you smiling with all the gifts for the hospital behind you. That was very kind of all the teachers and children, wasn't it? Hope you thanked everyone for doing it. Bet you miss going to school and playing with all your friends. Give my love to Ryan and Callum. Nanny

Hello there. I am Sean's Nanny from Shropshire. Just been on Sean's page and think the photos are great. Love you Sean. See you soon. Love Nanny xxx

We just looked on Sean's page and we came across a lovely surprise: " That's my Gismo!" we lost him and it's good to see he's still alive. He went missing when I came to hospital first time and I was so worried. THANK YOU
I AM SO HAPPY NOW! xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: That's amazing! We wondered who the cat belonged to - he was really friendly. Must take after you, Andrew! He's been seen a lot around the camp and school recently. Jake saw him near your old house. Clara tells me her mum fed Gismo this morning and gave him some milk. So don't worry, we'll find him for you. I'll put a picture of him on your web page when we've found him.

Hope you are feeling okay today, Andrew. Mrs Donnelly has gone to Wigan Pier with Class 6 today. They all went dressed in Victorian costumes.

Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone at Weeton. I'm in Lincoln now. I'm enjoying my school in RAF Cranwell. I'm doing quite well apart from standing in the corridor. I've got loads of friends. When I left I was in Mrs Kirkham's class. My sister Nichole was in pre-school. Now she is in her second year of school. My baby sister Katelyn is now 21 months. I found this website when my Dad was looking to see what was happening with the Green Jackets. I'm very sorry to hear of Sean. I hope he gets better - I have pictures of my 1st birthday party. I would love to hear from anyone who remembers me.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I remember you Lewis! You used to work really well in my art lessons. Pleased to hear from you. I'll get some of your old classmates add a few messages for you. Watch this space!

Mr Horrocks

PS If you send any more messages - please do not just use capital letters!!

To Mrs Donnelly

Congratulations on becoming a grandma at last. I bet you are so pleased. I bet he is lovely but I hope he dosen't cry too much. I'd like to see some photos when I come home.xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Mrs Donnelly has got lots of photos of her new grandson to show you when you are next home, Andrew! LOTS!

Mr Horrocks

Hello everyone. Thank you to you all for getting me the laptop computer. It was such a nice present. I haven't got the internet on it yet, that's why I haven't been in touch yet. I have borrowed the school computer for the weekend. I should be coming home for a week very soon. I can't wait to come and see you all again soon.
Lots of love, Andrew xx
____________________________________________________________________

Reply coming soon from Class 4!

Hi Sean
It's great to hear from you. I would have got in touch sooner but the ward school has been on half term and I couldn't get to the computer. I would love to come and visit you and play when we come home. I should be home on Sunday or Monday. I can't wait - it is so boring in hospital. I was sorry to read you had to go to hospital for blood. You will have to come to my house when you get out of hospital. I will be home for just over a week before my third lot of chemo.
See you soon
from Andrew xx

I would just like to say a very big thank you to you all for the laptop computer that you got for Andrew. It was a really nice thing for you to do for him and he is really happy about it. He has been a bit upset he couldn't say thank you. We are trying to get the internet put on it so Andrew can keep in touch with everyone. Andrew's dad and myself don't really know anyone on camp but it makes you realise how everyone in the community pull together at times like this. The amount of people who have offered their help has been amazing even when we don't know them. I would just like to say thank you so much to everyone xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your message. You've certainly got lots of new friends here who are thinking about you all. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hello to everyone, I had a very special surprise today (1.11.06) my friend Jamie Povey came all the way over from Ireland to visit me. I was so pleased to see him. I have shown him the school website and my web page so now he can keep in touch with us all. I really enjoyed the assembly in the gym but sadly later that day I got poorly and was taken to hospital with really high temperatures and I needed blood! YUK! I only stayed in for 5 days and I'm feeling bit better now but my mom says I am still at risk of infection but I would like to come into school to see you all and bring Jamie if that's ok. I go back into hospital next week for my treatment so I won't be in school for a while. After that my mom wants to keep me as well as possible so I'm not ill over Christmas. Hope you all had a good holiday. Byeeeee love Sean.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: What a great surprise for you! We are all looking forward to seeing Jamie again as well. Sorry you weren't very well after the assembly. Once we have collected all the sponsor money in, we'll arrange with your mom to take all the art and craft things over to the hospital. We started back at school today and the sun is shining, so that's good. Just heard that Sam and Jimmy Wheddon will be returning to Weeton Shcool in December. We look forward to seeing you soon, Sean.
Mr Horrocks

Hi, Sean's mom here. Just wanted to give a BIG thank you to everyone who was involved in the 'Sing for Sean'. You should all be very proud of yourselves, teachers too! The play therapist at the hospital is very pleased and excited to know that you have all worked so hard and she is looking forward to making lots of fun things for the boys and girls. Pippa (that's her name) says a BIG BIG thank you.

Once again, thank you Weeton School for being an amazing support. You have made a difference to so many lives with all the equipment you have bought. Bless you.

Hi Andrew, Just wanted to say hope you not feeling too bad on your chemo. I noticed you have moved around the corner from my house, so if you fancy coming round for a play sometime when we are both out of hospital that would be good because it's getting too cold to play out and I really should mix with lots of children. We could play games or watch dvd's. My mom said if your mom would like to come for a cup of tea with you she is very welcome. I have my 4th block of chemo next week then 2 more to go. Keep well. Love Sean

I love my school, it's the best. The writing area in my class is the best part of the school. Miss Nolan is my favourite teacher and she is taller than Mrs Lomas.

Hello,

This is Jenna and a friend of mine called Parker. We are really enjoying boarding school.


The next time I will be home is in two weeks. When I come home at Christmas I would love to come and help out in Mrs Lomas's class (Class 6)! Lovely to hear from you all up in Blackpool! Hello to all the teachers who taught me.

Mrs Lomas

Can I say a big thank you for the wonderful effort the school has made with the deployment of the mums and dads. The assembly on Thursday was lovely and bought a tear to many parents eyes I noticed. It was a nice touch and I'm sure it let many parents know how much they will be missed. And can I say what a great idea the picture bookmarks were. My husband was very pleased with his! The Open Afternoon was fantastic and it was a great atmosphere. It has taken the edge off a difficult time for all. The support we have from the school is super xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your message - it makes everything we do for the children so worthwhile. We are hoping to do lots more fun things - as well as plenty of learning! - at school in the coming months. We hope our website will help our families - although miles apart as many are - feel a little closer.

Mr Horrocks

Hi Andrew, it is Ross here. I was pleased you could visit us in school and I hope that you are feeling okay. I look forward to seeing you back here soon. Mum says I can pop round to see you next time you are home and are feeling well, if that is okay with your mum and dad. Bye for now X

Hi ya Mrs Lomas and all teachers. Hope you are all doing well. I am doing great. At school yesteday - 18 October - I saw Ben Tibbs in Tesco. I was looking at make up and Ben came running up to me shouting "Demi, Demi!". I was surprised and we got up to date with high school. We are both loving school. I am glad I saw Ben. We might not see each other again and it is good to see other Weeton pupils who go to other schools. Thank you Mrs Lomas for all that you did for me. That's all from me. Bye xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Demi-Leigh. I'd heard that Ben is enjoying high school. It's good to know that things are going well for you. Keep working hard!

Best wishes, from Mrs Lomas

Hi Mrs Lomas,

I have lots of homework to do. My teatchers are really nice and I already have an award for geography. We have a sticker system and the first person to get 50 stickers wins a giant chocolate bar. I have 18 stickers; the leading person has 24 stickers. My favourite teatcher is Mrs Robinson.

Hi Mrs Germaine,

The computer work that we did with you has made it easier here. We have learnt to animate it and Powerpoint.

Write to you soon,

Mrs Lomas and Mrs Germaine

Hello everyone, I'm sorry I missed the Open Afternoon and 'Sing for Sean'. My Mom showed me some pictures. It looked like a really fun day and everyone enjoyed it, especially the teachers singing! Thank you to everyone who helped raise lots of money, the hospital will be very pleased. I have just finished my 3rd block of chemo - only another 3 to go. I am feeling ok. Sometimes I have days where I am sick and tired. My Mom thinks they put E numbers in my medicine because some days I have too much energy and can't sit still! I miss all my friends but it's good I can talk to them on the school website. Andrew, next time you're home, you can come round to play if you like. I hope you are doing ok. If I feel well enough I hope to come into school next week. Be good for Mr Goth.
Love Sean

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you Sean. We are going to sing the "Songs for Sean" again on Thursday 19th October at 9.30am in the army gym. It's a special assembly before the dads go off to Iraq. If you are feeling well enough, perhaps you could come along. You will hopefully be able to come into school soon and have a look at the art and craft materials we have bought with some of the sponsor money. They should bring a smile to your face!

Mr Horrocks

I can see that you have put some more things on the website.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: New things are being added all the time, Christopher. Coming soon: pictures of yesterday's Open Afternoon. Keep visiting our website!

Mr Horrocks

Hello to you all. I am now back in hospital and back on the chemo. Feeling ok. I had a great morning when I came back to school but it made me very tired. I wish I could have come back again but I felt very poorly with a bad cold. I hope you all have a great day at the Sing for Sean. I am sorry I can't be there. Mummy said Daddy will bring some money over to help with the appeal but it might not be until next week because he is busy moving house.
Have fun today, from Andrew xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY:

Dear Andrew,

Thanks for the lovely message. It was fun when you came to see us at school. We hope you liked our harvest songs and poems.

Today we arre going to do lots of activities including a treasure hunt, guess the weight of the pumpkin, name the teachers as children and guess the date of the clown's birthday.

We are singing "Our Favourite Things" and we think we are really good at it! We will send you lots of photos.

We hope your treatment goes well.

Lots of love, Class 4

PS from Mr Horrocks: Our Open Afternoon went really well today - school was full of people! Before it started we had £1018 pledged for "Sing for Sean" (some of the infants didn't know how much they had been sponsored for, so hopefully that amount will be even higher). We have also raised about £250 on two raffles and our other competitions (we had 44 raffle prizes on one raffle, then the army chefs baked a big chocolate cake and that raised £53). We'll let you know the final amount raised.

Hi. Science is great at school. I'm doing acid and alkalis - it is wicked! I'll see you on 16th December. Bye, love Callum.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Very scientific, Callum! We look forward to seeing you in December.

Mrs Lomas

Hi Mrs Lomas. How are you doing? High school is great. How's the new class?
Science in high school is much more advanced. Miss you. Bye!!! Love Ben Tibbs

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I'm doing fine, Ben. So pleased you are enjoying high school - I knew you would! Sounds as if you are going to become a scientist! I have a WONDERFUL new class! Your Ethan has settled well in Class 1. Take care. Mrs Donnelly says "hello!".

Mrs Lomas

Hi Mr Horrocks
It is a great pleasure to be writing to you. How is Miss Taylor? I hope she is very well. Have you still got the Woodland Walk. I wish I could come back to your school. It is the best school I have been to. I hope you have a nice Christmas. Is my old class well?
from Elizabeth

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello, Elizabeth.

It's a pleasure to reply! Miss Taylor left Weeton in July. She has been back for a few days though, teaching other classes. We have a new teacher, Miss Russel, teaching Year 1. Woodland Walk is still here! Mr Goth's class (your old classmates) have been busy planting shrubs and plants in front of the Dining Hall. Sean Evans is poorly and he has been in hospital a lot since the summer holidays. He has been into school a few times to see us all, which has been good.
I hope you are working hard.

Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Thank you for your reply Mr Horrocks. Good luck with the fund raising. Andrew would be delighted with a laptop and I know he would use it well. Anne x

Hi Mr Horrocks

I have finally found our website again. Hope everything is going well over there. In Germany I am going skiing in Bavaria in January 2007 and then 4 weeks after that Bavaria again. Hope you reply.

Christopher Powell

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Of course I'll reply! Good to hear from you Christopher. I hope you are enjoying life in Germany. The skiing sounds good - Mr Goth's the expert at that! We had a bumper crop of pumpkins in the garden this summer. They grew over the path and nearly over the shed! You can see some of them in our harvest pictures. Please you still think of this as being "our website". Be good!
Mr Horrocks

Just wanted to let everyone know how much I enjoyed the Harvest Festival yesterday. I was very impressed with everyones performance and loved seeing my son Tyler and the rest of class one performing so beautifully. I cannot wait until the next event.

Mr Horrocks

Hi to you all. This is Andrew's grandma here. I must say I was so overwhelmed with the love, help and support Andrew and his family are receiving from everyone in Weeton. I've enjoyed my few days visiting Andrew. I live up in Newcastle and work full time and visiting is very hard. I know my family will be receiving all the support possible from the school and health visitors. A big thanks to you all. I'm now back home. I enjoyed your harvest festival. The children did really well, and guess what I've been singing all afternoon.... yes.... Conkers!!!! Bye for now, Anne xxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: So pleased you could join us for our harvest festival. Andrew appeared to have a great morning in school. Here at Weeton, we'll all continue to do our best for Andrew and his family. We're aiming to raise some money to buy a laptop for Andrew to use when he's in hospital. Do keep in touch with what's happening in school through our website and on Andrew's special page - we are always adding new things.

Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

PS Sorry about Conkers!

Hi Mrs Lomas. I may see you during my Christmas holidays because I break up on 15th December. When does Weeton break up?

Hello Class 5 and Mr Goth,
It's Sean here. How are you doing? Do you miss me in class? Are you enjoying all your lessons? I am going to try to come in for a few hours this week. Hope the lessons won't be too hard. Bye everybody, see you soon. Love Sean

___________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Hello, Sean! We are all fine. Everyone has been missing you a lot. Yes, we are enjoying our lessons, especially making junk models in DT. We hope you can come into school this week. Don't worry, the lessons won't be too hard! Love from Jason and Kyle and everyone in Class 5

Hello Andrew,
It's Sean Evans. I just wanted to say hello and I hope your medicine isn't making you too sick. I bet you're bored in hospital. I get bored when I go into hospital for my treatment. Hope your feeling better soon.
From Sean

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Dear Sean, We had a lovely surprise this afternoon - Andrew came to see us! Just like you, I think he does get a bit bored in hospital. He's at home for a week now though, and he is hoping to come into school to join in some of the lessons. We all look forward to seeing you in school again soon.
Best wishes from Mr Horrocks

REPLY: Dear Andrew,

Lovely to hear from you. By the time you read this, you will hopefully have received the booklet with letters and pictures from your classmates. We are going to set up a special page for you (and also one for Sean) on this website. You will then be able to see what your class is doing. Hopefully, you will also be able to do similar things with your teacher in hospital. If you like, we might even send you some of Mrs Gilyead's and Mr Goth's wonderful worksheets! We can turn them into Adobe pdf files now (if you know what that means!) so you could print them off in hospital. If you do some really good work, you might even get one of our Best Effort awards! We all miss you and look forward to seeing you sometime soon. Say "hello" to your Mum from us.

Best wishes, Mr Horrocks and Mrs Donnelly

PS I've just added a link to your new website page, Andrew. Just click on Class Pages (on the Site Navigation Menu) and look for your name! Hope you like it!

Mr Horrocks

Hi again,
I really miss Weeton Primary at the moment but I am enjoying Carr Hill as well.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Pleased to hear you are enjoying Carr Hill, Daniel.

Mrs Lomas

Please pass on our best wishes to Tom and Elle Clarke. Ioanna and Thomas were at school in Coniston with them and miss them a lot. She received a letter from Elle and here is her reply:

Dear Elle,

Thank you for the letter. I am missing you a lot. I am glad you are having a good time in your new school. I now go horse riding at Spoon Hall.

See you soon

Love from

Ioanna xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Tom and Elle were delighted to hear from you. Sorry you are missing them. We are really glad they are back with us at Weeton Primary though! Have you seen the pictures of them during Fitness Week? Watch out for more pictures of them on our website.

Mr Horrocks

I am writing to say that I like Class 6 and I think you are great at being a teacher.

REPLY: Thank you, Nicole!
Mrs Lomas

Hi Weeton, Callum and I are on the computers in the school library and we thought we would have a look at the website. I am really missing Weeton at the moment and I hope that the Reception children are having a very good time in their first week at Weeton. PS Hi to Mrs Lomas

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good to hear from you Daniel. Mrs Lomas has just read your message (she's got some new glasses now!) - and she sends her best wishes. Our 17 Reception children have made a good start this week - even coming in the hall for hymn practice on their second day! We'll no doubt see you in school sometime. Keep smiling!

Mr Horrocks

I really loved my first day. Can't wait to go all day in a couple of weeks.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Glad you enjoyed your first day at Weeton Primary School. You will be learning lots of new things in Class 1.

Miss Nolan

To Weeton Primary,
My first day at Carr Hill was brilliant. My dad dropped me and my mate Aden off because my bus pass hasn't come through the post. I lit my first Bunsen burner today and melted ice with it. I'll see you all at the school Christmas production.
PS Hello to Mrs Lomas. Miss you loads!!!!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Delighted to hear you enjoyed your first day. Work hard and play hard. Look after yourself.

Mrs Lomas

Hi, I am going to miss Weeton very much even though I am excited about going to high school. Miss you all. Bye, bye Weeton.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good luck to you and everyone starting high school in September.

Mr Horrocks

Dear Mr Horrocks, We are still waiting for our new house and may have to wait just a little longer, so I may even come back to school for a week or so. I will keep you informed, from Mitchell.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: At least you'll be able to say goodbye to everyone properly!

Mr Horrocks

Dear Mr Horrocks, My family and I have decided to join my dad on his posting to Nottingham, therefore I shall not be returning to Weeton School in September. This has happened rather quickly and we are just waiting for a private hiring which we are told will be in the next few weeks, which will bring it to at the latest end of August. My mum will be getting in touch with you to let you know information on my new school as soon as we get it. I enjoyed my time being at Weeton and I really enjoyed being in Mr Goth's class and was excited about going into Mrs Lomas' class. I will keep in touch on the web site and tell you all about my new life on civvy street. I maybe here to say goodbye but we may have already gone. GOODBYE to all my friends: falemaka, Kyle, Declan, Jacob, Cameron, Christopher, Aimee and especially LAUREN. Keep cool everybody and goodbye from Mitchell Braithwaite.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for the message, Mitchell. Sorry to hear you are leaving Weeton School (again!) but I am sure it will be the best thing for your family. You've been a good member of our school since you joined us in Class 1 - I know Mrs Lomas was looking forward to you joining her class - another of the Braithwaite clan! Anyway, do keep in touch. All the very best to all your family in the future.
Mr Horrocks

Hi again!
Ryan and I are looking forward to seeing the pictures of the governers! Ryan was pleased to get the public speaking award for the first time ever!
See you, Katy and Ryan!

Hello Weeton,
I really miss Weeton School already and we only finished last week.

Good afternoon Weeton School. Just wanted to drop a line to say thank you all very much for a wonderful morning yesterday!! Everyone has worked so hard and received some fantastic awards!! My son Jordan spent all evening saying "I can't believe I won twice!!". We are very pleased and hope his hard work continues and we are invited to another assembly. The website is looking brilliant and we have very much enjoyed all the events the school has held over the past term. Enjoy a well deserved summer break. Looking forward to a new term at Weeton Primary School xxxxxx

I can't believe that the summer holidays are here. My brother Daniel is going into Year 7 and after the summer holidays. I will be in Year 2.

Mr Horrocks - thank you for a most enjoyable Special Celebration Assembly this morning. I would like to thank you and all your staff for making Weeton Primary School such a fantastic place. The school website is excellent. Have a good summer holiday.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for your much appreciated message. Erin's first year at school seems to have flown by (or perhaps it's just my age!). This website has come a long way since the very first Guestbook message from your husband in March. So, it's only fitting that yours should be the last one for this school year! The Abobe Acrobat software has finally arrived this week - that should be really useful when we start using it next term.

Have a happy holiday!
Mr Horrocks

Hi, I've just won the public speaking contest. I am really happy.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Congratulations, Ryan! Look after that trophy!
Mr Horrocks

I can't wait till the leavers' assembly.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: It will soon be here, Paul!
Mr Horrocks

I like learning French. Thank you Miss Taylor for being there for us.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: First German, now French. You are clever, Georgia.

Hi Mrs Gilyead and Class 2! How are you all? I am doing really well! Germany is really good and I am loving my school! I have just had my sports day and it was brilliant! I have sent you some pics of me in my races and of my new friends, I hope you receive them soon! Did you think of a name for the bear I sent you? Miss you all lots, love Mikey.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you, Mikey. We are so pleased you are having fun in Germany. We have called the bear Wuschi, which means Fluffy! We hope you you have a really good summer holiday. Bye for now from Class 2.

Hello again! Yes, I remember doing a bit of training with the Manchester United coaches! I got player of the day. I still have the certificate! I'm coaching football to toddler and U8's at the moment. A Manchester United scout comes to see my team train. The scout said when I have passed my level 2 coaching badge (I already have my level 1) he'd like me to coach the Manchester United toddlers!! So I'm going to do my level 2 coaching badge this month!! The scout has already scouted 2 or our youngsters, a goalkeeper and a striker, so hopefully they'll go on to be the next Van Der Saar and Wayne Rooney! I'm still playing too. I play for Blackpool Wren Rovers, they are 2 divisions below the professional league, so hopefully one day I'll be up there too! I can't find the pictures from Book Day, but I'm sure there great! I see you have sports day coming up soon, one of the best school days of the year!! Good Luck Everyone and hope you do well at Strike Lane too! x

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We were so pleased to hear that you've kept up the football, and things are going so well. We could have done with you here for our Fitness Week. You must call in and see us one day. Keep looking for the Book Day Pictures!
Mr Horrocks

HE-HE Just found the Book Day pictures! You all looked great. I didn't recognise Mrs Lomas! I'm liking it! Mr Goth looked ace too! I'm guessing Mr Horrocks was the invisible man, good thinking! ARRR the Frankinstein and dinosaur frightened the life out of me. HA-HA never mind everyone on the playground!!

Hi Weeton. I like Andrew B's costume because he is Harry Potter.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Yes, it was like being at Hogwarts for the day!

Professor Dumbledore

Hello everyone :)! I left Weeton School in 2001, that's 5 years ago!! So I don't know whether you'll still remember me! He-he, I don't know what to say! I've just been bored searching the internet, so I thought I'd search the school and see how you're doing and this web site came up! ITS FAB!! It's good to read that the school is doing well and to see the teachers who taught me still there! Don't worry to everyone leaving to go to High School this year, it's not as scary as you might think and once you get to know it, you'll love it. I did. Good luck in your SATs. Keep working hard and enjoy school. Take care :) Aimee Peet or Pinky as Mrs Lomas used to call me! xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: How could we forget you, Pinky! Probably the best girl footballer EVER at Weeton School! Do you remember the time when those coaches came from Manchester United and did some training with your class in the army gym? You really impressed them.

We are really pleased you have found our website. Hope everything is going well for you and your family. How do you like the latest picture of Mrs Lomas on Book Day?! Thanks for your sensible advice about High School.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hello for the tenth time!
I have just read my last comment in the guestbook and I saw your reply about a certificate.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: And now you have got the certificate! Well done, Daniel.
Mr Horrocks

I enjoyed Book Day today. It was great. It is a pity that I am in Year 6 and I will be leaving next month.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: You can't stay in Year 6 for ever! Just think of Year 7 and High School as being the start of a new adventure. After all, you can still keep in touch with Weeton School when you move on.
Mr Horrocks

Hi everybody,
I can't wait till Book Day tomorrow. I'm going as my favourite Everton player Mikeal Arteta out of my Evertonian magazine.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: You can also look forward to a certificate tomorrow for being such an enthusiastic website visitor! I've been so busy recently, I think I'll be going as the Headteacher from the Weeton Primary School Brochure!
Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton,
This is Thomas & Eleanor Clarke. We used to be at Weeton one and a half years ago and we are coming back next week! We are looking foward to meeting some of our old friends and teachers, and making some new friends. Jessica told us about your website and we really like it. We have seen some photo's of people we recognize. See you all next week.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We are really looking forward to seeing you both again!

Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton,
I have just seen the pictures of the Belarussian children. They are really good.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Yes, they do look good, Daniel.

Mr Horrocks

It was great today at the PNE Football Museum. We even went into the ground where we went through the tunnel to the away changing rooms (they are the biggest meanies on the planet, he he.)
I can't wait till tomorrow because it's the rounders tournament. Got to admit I am a bit nervous. Let's hope the weather is nice to us though, or it will be postponed till the 28th June.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I think everyone had a great day out at Preston Football Museum. I heard all about the differences been home and away changing rooms. Mr Goth said his class felt it was unfair not to treat everyone the same.

Well, I hear you all played well this afternoon (your nerves must have helped you play well!), before the rain stopped play at the rounders rally. British summers, eh!

Mr Horrocks

Hello! Well err 7 whole years ago I left Weeton (County) Primary School to go off to high school and I never thought I'd hear from any of you again. Wow I can't believe Mrs Lomas is still there. Wow what a great teacher she was. I remember having our music sessions with Mrs Duckworth and her lovely guitar "Goldie", as well as quizzing Mr Horrocks for our biography projects! Just looking at the pictures brings back amazing memories of the best primary school I ever attended and still to this day. I keep in touch with some of my class mates including Danny Richardson who told me about this site! Well hopefully you are all well and teaching hard and having fun along the way. Mrs Lomas, I hope you are still coming up with groovy dance routines like the one Class 6 performed on the school's 50th birthday! I myself will be off to teaching college soon, after 3 years at university. I never imagined myself going off to uni when I was sat in the dining hall doing my Year 6 SATS so many many moons ago! I would love to hear from you all and hear how you are doing. Anyway, I've already written a book! I must go. Take care, love and light, Danielle, xxxxx


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: So good to hear from you, Danielle! Thanks to Dan for telling you about our website. Yes, Mrs Lomas is still here - and still as great as ever! Yes, and she's busy teaching her class some dances for their leavers' assembly (I've just improved the pictures on the teachers' page - especially for you - so you can see Mrs Lomas more clearly).

Mrs Duckworth is now Deputy Head of a larger primary school in Chorley. We bought her a new "Goldie" when she left. All the staff dressed up (made from curtains) as the "Trapp Door" family + nuns and sang "So long, farewell" from The Sound of Music to her!

So pleased to hear you are going to become a teacher. You'll have to come and visit us sometime and pick up a few tips!

Enjoy the summer. Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

PS It was the school's 40th birthday you remember. Weeton School will be celebrating its 50th birthday in February 2008. How about joining us for the party?!

We got told who is in the school rounders team today and I'm happy that I am in it. I can't wait till Tuesday when we go to the Preston Football Museum because I really like playing football!!!


____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We aim to please at Weeton! Enjoy the school trip (your third this year!) and good luck to the rounders team!
Mr Horrocks

I can't wait till Mrs Lomas picks the rounders team, I hope I'm in it!!!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: You'll have to wait and see!
Mrs Lomas

Bonjour (Hello). Today at school we learnt French. I can count up to ten.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Well done! Now what is that in French?
Monsieur Horrocks

Hello, my name is Daniel and I am 2 years old and live next door to Jessica and Emilia Swannack. They are my best friends and always tell me how cool their school is so I thought I would have a look for myself (with a bit of help from my Mummy!). They are right - the website looks really good. I can't wait to start school myself so I can join in the fun too. Maybe in a year or two.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Dear Daniel,
Thank you for looking at our website and sending a message. Perhaps your Mummy could bring you to have a look around our school sometime. You would be very welcome. Enjoy being two!
Mr Horrocks

Hello, I am in Class 5, Year 4. My teacher is Mr Goth. I have got 24 pets. I have got 21 fish, 2 guinea pigs called Bobsy and Ginger, and a dog called Milo.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I hope you all had a good half term holiday.

Mr Horrocks

I really like the school website and Class 6 are the best.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I'm pleased you like the website, Jade. Class 6's pages have turned out really well.
Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton. In Class 2 we like doing maths and spellings.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: You've had some good results in maths and spellings in Class 2. I hope you all keep working hard in the summer term, Michael.

Mr Horrocks

Hiya
I've just been looking at the photos and they are really cool!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: A house point for the next Weeton pupil who doesn't use the word COOL in their message when describing something on this website that's COOL!
Mr Horrocks

(LAUREN) It's me. I am in Class 5, Year 4 and my teacher is Mr A Goth and he is a good teacher. I have 2 twins called Sam and Jake and a sister called Micky and I have 1 rabbit called Bailey and 5 goldfish and a sucker fish.


(Aimee) Hiya it's me. I am in Class 5, Year 4 and my teacher is Mr A Goth and he is the best teacher in the whole wide world. I have 12 pets and they are: 4 lizards, a tortoise, 3 goldfish, a GAINT Afican snail, an Egypt leopard frog, a golden hamster and a golden retriever and I have 2 sisters Ellie 5, in Class 1 and Jenna who is in boarding school. I am an animal freak.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: When I was your age, I always wanted to become a vet. The trouble was, I couldn't stand the sight of blood - so I later decided to become a teacher instead! I used to enjoy reading Gerald Durrell's books about animals. I wonder if either of you will end up with a career involving animals?
Mr Horrocks

I like German. It's so COOL!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Ja, Deutsch ist SPITZE!

Herr Horrocks!

Hi Weeton,
I can't wait for half term so I can rest from all the hard work and I can play more games with my friends.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Let's hope we get some sunny weather, Daniel! We have lots to look forward to when we return to school in June.
Mr Horrocks

Hi
The web is so cool.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I know!
Mr Horrocks

I have enjoyed looking at this website. I think we should have more pictures of Class 2!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Watch out for a picture of your German bear!
Mr Horrocks

Super website, the best we have seen. We are Megan Isherwood's Nanny & Granpop and live in the deep south, so it is really nice to be able to follow Megan's school life from afar (nice picture of you Megan!). Mr Horrocks, we too like the work of LS Lowry. Have you seen his exhibition in Manchester? It would make an extremely interesting school trip.

____________________________________________________________________
REPLY: Pleased you like our website and you are now able to see what Megan is doing at school. Do come and visit us the next time you are in Weeton. Yes, I've been to The Lowry where they have the largest collection of his pictures. They have the portraits he painted of his mother and father. I can remember seeing them on the wall in Mr Lowry's front room when I went to see him at The Elms. I used to go to the Salford Art Gallery a lot as well, before The Lowry was built. I took a class on a trip there years ago. We have, of course, our own mini Lowry gallery at Weeton School!

I think the school web site is really good and it gives good information.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I'm glad you like it Charley! Watch out for your class page.

Mr Horrocks

Well done all Year 6 for getting through the SATs last week and a big well done to Mrs Lomas for being there for the kids when they needed you.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: As always, Mrs Lomas has worked very hard to help everyone in Year 6 achieve their very best.

Mr Horrocks

Hi Weeton,
It is really great here since I came in July, wish I could stay here forever!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Forever's a long time to be at school, Micheal! Mind you, I've been at school for most of MY life! Just keep working hard and enjoy being part of the Weeton School family.

Mr Horrocks

Hi everybody,
I can't wait for the trip to Blackpool tomorrow and not long after that we are going to Preston Football Museum!!!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We always aim to please at Weeton, Daniel. I hope the sun shines on you all tomorrow. Have a great time.

Mr Horrocks

Hi everyone. All the Year Sixes have finished thier SATS and after weeks and weeks we are moving back in with the Year Fives.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I hope you really enjoy your final couple of months in primary school, Daniel.

Mr Horocks

Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing well. I'd like to say hi to all the staff and to say well done to all Year 6 for going through with the SATs. Hope all the children are fine and especially my sisters.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for the message, Kimberley. Everyone worked hard with all the tests last week. Class 6 can now look forward to their trip to Blackpool on Tuesday.

Mr Horrocks

Hi Class 2. Thank you so much for my lovely letters you all wrote telling me what you did over Easter. It sounds like you all had great fun! I really enjoyed reading them! I have sent you a parcel. I hope you receive it very soon and you like it! Miss you all, love Mikey x

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: The parcel arrived last week. Mrs Gilyead opened it for us. We were all very happy when we saw what it was - a teddy bear! We have been thinking of German names for it. We all like it! Got to go now because school has just started.

Best wishes from Charlie and Penina.

Hello everyone!
Just thought I would visit the website! Can't wait for the pictures of the governers! Ha, ha. I like all the pictures!
Bye for now =) xx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: We must take some pictures at the next Governors' Meeting!

Mr Horrocks

Hi, I'm doing boostering and all the Year Sixes are doing brilliant!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Good luck to everyone in Year 6 in the coming week - do your very best.

Mr Horrocks

Hello, I'm Jessica Swannack's Aunty from the East Midlands. I'd just like to say what a great website you have. It is lovely to see where Jessica goes to school, I particularly enjoyed the pictures of class 3 making bunches of daffodils. I will look forward to seeing more pictures .
Keep up the good work Jessie!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for the lovely message. Just before Easter we all decorated an egg for a competition. There's a picture of my Humpty Dumpty egg on this website. In Class 3 we have got some caterpillars in a little jar and they are growing quite fast.
Thanks again, from Jessica.

Hiya to everyone at Weeton. Hope you all had a great Easter and got loads of yummy eggs! Germany is good and really really hot! I will send you some more pics very soon. I love the eggs you all made for your Easter egg competition. Well done everyone!! Big hello to Class 2, miss you loads!

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thank you for your message. We have sent you some letters about what we did during the Easter holidays. We are back at school now. We have been writing about our favourite monsters today! We hope you are enjoying your school.
Best wishes from Class 2

Fantastic! It's really good to know that you have a school website. I am glad because I've been to your school and have attended a Prize Giving Ceremony for my grandson whose name is Falemaka Vave - a Class 5 pupil of your school. I would like to thank Mr Horrocks, Head Teacher of the school for the job well done of having a website for the school. I would also like to send my regards to Falemaka's friend Kyle, who is also his next door neighbour. Regards and God Bless.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Bula! Many thanks for your message. We are back at school next week, so watch out for more pictures and news of what is happening at Weeton School.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Hiya to all the teachers. Hope you all have a lovely Easter. Just got a new pony and my first Saturday job at KFC is working out great.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: I'm sure all the teachers and the rest of the staff are enjoying the Easter break, Sheriden. Thanks for your news!
Mr Horrocks

Hi
We miss Weeton loads. I (Emily) wish that Weeton was a high school! We think the website is cool and hope loads of people see it. The eggs were brilliant and all the after school clubs are a great idea. We love the Woodland Walk and the outside area for the reception children. We really miss Mrs. Lomas - she is the best teacher ever (Kirsty). Well done to all those children in best efforts. (Emily) Weeton was my 5th primary school and it was great. My sister Lucy and Kirsty's brother Declan love the school. Good luck to the Year Sixes doing their SATs. Mrs Lomas will get you through.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Thanks for visiting our website, girls. Hope you enjoyed looking at Lucy and Declan's class pages. Mrs Lomas has been working as hard as ever with Year 6. I'm sure they will all achieve their best possible results when SATs week comes - just like you two did. Happy Easter!
Mr Horrocks

Hi I am Falemaka's uncle. After looking at your website I can say that these kids are lucky, very lucky to have a school that is so concerned about the well being of the students. I am proud of my nephew after seeing all the improvement he's been making. This is from Cirencester, in Gloucestershire. Thank you and keep up the good work....well done.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Many thanks for visiting our website. You have every reason to be proud of Falemaka - he's a good lad. It doesn't seem five minutes since he started school at the age of 4; he could speak very little English then. He's made brilliant progress over the years and is lucky to be in a great class.
Best wishes, Mr Horrocks

Bula (hello) from Fiji. I'm Falemaka Vave's (Class 5) uncle and I'm a marine conservationist with the University of the South Pacific.

I've just been informed of this school website and think it's a really great idea. Especially, since we've been wanting to see more of Falemaka's school, its students and teachers, and more importantly, see (from your gallery) what they've been working on. Neat stuff. The Egyptian mummy is amazing.

I would be more than happy to submit photos from Fiji for your website (as suggested by Mr. Horrocks). Are their any particular photos you wish to receive from Fiji? And who do I send photos to?

Regards from Fiji to all Weeton school kids & staff. Here's hoping that you can one day all have an opportunity to come to Fiji.

Advice to school kids: Continue to work hard and give your best to everything you do.

To the staff: Excellent work and I've heard nothing but the best of comments from Falemaka regarding Weeton Primary School. Keep it up.

Moce (good bye) from Fiji,
Ron Vave

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Bula from Weeton! What a small world we live in! I was delighted to receive your message from Fiji. We wanted to make our website fun for our pupils and a way of keeping in touch, and for sharing life at Weeton with families and friends, wherever they are in the world. So thanks for being part of it and bringing us closer to Fiji.

We'd be happy to receive some photos which show what life is like in Fiji. Perhaps we could link up with a local school. You can send any photos via the school email address: head@weeton.lancsngfl.ac.uk

We are all on holiday at the moment for Easter. Once we get back to school, we'll be adding more pages to the website, so do keep visiting Weeton School online and see how Falemaka is getting on.

Moce from England,
Mr Horrocks

Bula from Fiji! Half way around the world from you - heard about this website today. And it's a big BULA to Falemaka Vave. We'll keep a tab on this site as more pictures get loaded. Loloma from your Aunty Fane.

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Bula from a rather wet and windy England! I know Falemaka will be thrilled to see your message. Now you can see how your nephew is getting on at school. I'll make sure he appears on the next Class 5 page!
Moce from Mr Horrocks

Hi, it's me agan. I just want to say a big hello to Sophie and Jack and all who know me. I can't wait to come back to Weeton. It's the best school I have ever been at. I am coming back at the end of May so I'll be back at school about June. ByeXXX

REPLY: We'll see you soon then, Tiffany. Happy Easter to all the family.
Mr Horrocks

Hi, Weeton
Do you remember me?
I think your new website is really cool, it was really good to see some familiar faces. Hi, Mr Goth and Year 4 (I think you are the best class ever). The school I am at is called Alyward First and Middle School. Abbi is in first school and I am in middle school. I am learning to play the trumpet. I live not far from London. I have been to see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Eye, and lots of other places too.
See you all soon.
Lucy xxxxxxxx

____________________________________________________________________

REPLY: Lovely to hear from you Lucy - of course we remember you! I'm really pleased you've found our new website. We hope it will be a useful way for you -and all our other pupils who have moved on - to keep in touch with what is happening at Weeton School. Year 4 (yes, a very special class) and Mr Goth had an India day this week. They all dressed up (including Mr Goth), painted henna designs on their hands and arms, and tasted some Indian food.
I hope to hear you playing the trumpet one day!
Best wishes to all the family,
Mr Horrocks

What a fantastic web site!
An excellent idea for all the children to stay in touch, as I know so many of them are in the forces. I have visited quite a few primary schools now whilst at university but Weeton School remains my favourite! Makes me want to teach even more now! Such a great feeling of 'togetherness' at this school and so welcoming. All in all a wonderful school.

REPLY: I hope all is well with you, Sara. So pleased the magic of Weeton has played some part in creating another enthusiastic teacher. We look forward to Tiffany's return. Happy Easter!

This web site is cool, it is the best web site you can go on. See you after the Easter Holidays everyone.
