Hello Everyone!
Just a quick note to say a very big 'Thank You' for my lovely presents and send off at the end of last term. My new school is keeping me very busy - the children are nice (but not half as nice as you lot!) I've taught them 'An Old Austrian', 'The Penguin Song', 'The Frog Song' and many others already. I hope Class 2 children are behaving themselves and working as hard as I know they can!
Miss you all

Hello, I would just like to thank everyone who helped at the family halloween party. And I hope everybody who attended had a very enjoyable time. Once again a big THANK YOU.

heya ev1 it is me LISA DERRICK REMEMBER ME? I was in Miss Kemeys class

Yey. So, how is everyone doing? Also, before you ask, I'm good :) Just like... Doing my homework from Castle School. I've been to Gillingstool 2 times already after we left! Crazy? But anyway, how about you let me in on a few secrets. Like, Yr 6's play? No I'm joking. But, so Castle School is awesome, Science is with chemicals and stuff. In DT we're doing cooking (but I haven't killed anyone but food poisoning yet!) and at the momment we're making Pizza's. German aswell. Hallo, Guten tag! So yeah I'm off now, because this is distracting me! Bye x

Hi, Sarah - lovely to hear from you.I can't believe either that it's three years since you left!!! Good luck to you and all your former Gillingstool classmates for your SATS - I'm sure you will do yourselves - and Gillingstool - proud.

heya gillingstool
Its sarah steggles. I'm in year 9 now and I can't believe it has actually been 3 years since I was there. Hope everyone is doing well and I know that I am really enjoying it in Castle but i would do anything to be back in mrs waltons class. I have got my sats this year and I really hope that I will do well in them. I really miss you all and I hope to see you all again one day.

Hi everyone, I would like to say well done to all of Class 6 for the excellent performance of Jack and the Beanstalk. You were all brilliant ,and such good actors and actresses - you all seemed to be having a great time. T he choir were magnificent too. I don't know how you remember all of the words! I really enjoyed it and so did my daughter Sally and her friend Sophie. Once again, well done.

Hii!!!
I havn't been on the site for a long time so I thought I would leave a comment!
The weather over here is changing from sunny to wet and cold, today it was pouring down with rain, and at the moment its freezing! Its supposed to be snowing tomorrow morning!
Everyone is okay here! Carwyn has a job now and does his drivers test in a couple of months. Mum and Dad are okay aswell. Unfortunatly our dog had to get put down in April because of a brain tumor :( but we had a phone call today from a boxer dog breeder saying that one of the dogs there are due next week!
Athletics is fine, I'm doing beach training next week for 10 weeks every Sunday morning, we have to be at the club for 9 am ( Eeek!)
School is great we have our year 8 camp in November and we go to Glentui in Oxford. Its the school holidays now and we have 2 weeks off then back to school for 10 weeks.
Must go now because its well late!
See ya!

Hi im Christian no one probably remembers me but i was in the school some time ago. In fact i was in it 11 years ago when Miss Britton was the head , I remember Mrs Senna & Mrs Hancox cause her son is James and he was in my class. Mrs Senna used to help me , Dean Fitzgerald, and Ryan i can't remember his second name. Anyway hope all is well have a nice Christmas
Reply: It's always good to hear from past pupils. Mrs Hancox and Mrs Senna Cook will see your message when they return to school in January. I'm sure Mrs Hancox will pass your message onto James.

Hello again,
Hope everyone is getting on fine with their school work and everyone is looking forward to Christmas. I can't beleive how far the school has gone since I left everytime I go to Callum's house I walk past it and I am always astonished by what the teachers, pupils and Mr richies has done to that school. Hope the year 6's will do well this year with their SAT's and the christmas play. Can you say hello to everyone in class 4, Nathan, Pearce, Joe and all the teachers from me. THANKS alot. Got to go now and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Missing Gillingstool - a lot harder here! Say hello to all the teachers for me. Bye!

Hi anything going on in Gillingstool.
Reply: There are plenty of things going on here at the moment. We have maths week coming up just before half term - hopefully some more photos to go onto the website then.

Hiya, I have been to castle school for 2 years now but i still like to see how everyone is getting on, Could you put some of the 2005 residential trip pictures and the Wizard of Gillingstool on this site?
Reply: It is always good to look back over photos. However, it is difficult to put some of those pictures up as school did not have permission from parents to put many of the childrens' photographs onto the website. I will try to track some down over the next couple of weeks and check whether there are any that I could use.

hi i really like this school its much better then my old one. We need some NEW yr 6 photos heehee bye.
Lucy, Why don't you ask Mr Smart if he can take some photos of your class and then we can get them onto the website?

I really like the pics and things.
Reply: Thanks Charlene. We hope to get more pictures up this year.

Sounds like fun, Molly. Hope you stay dry! Molly, can you let school have your email address as some of the girls in the class want to email you. You can do this by putting a message onto the guestbook and include you email address. I will make sure that it doesn't go public on the website. Mrs Harris

Say hello to Jordan Luis and Curtis Starling for me also I like the website.

Mrs Holland, Mr Bowring, Mrs Staton, Ms Briton, Mrs Hinchcliffe, Mrs Scott......all names that will stick with me for ever. What a great school this was, I have vague memories of the name change from The Leaze to Gillingstool not going down well. My mum was a School Governor too. All in all the best years of my life.

ps. Mr Bowring was the best teacher I had, and many friends still think the same.

I used to go to Gillingstool (then The Leaze School) back in the seventies. I enjoyed my time there and have particularly fond memories of Mrs Rastrick, Mrs Cox, Mrs Trayhurn, Mr Leonard and Mr Turpin. My neice and nephew, my mum and and grandmother have all attended the school. Your website is brilliant.

hello i enjoy your web site and would like to join my children here its a fabulous looking school !
Reply: Thank you for your positive comments. It is a lovely place for children to learn and for teachers to teach. Do contact the school for a visit.

hi i just want to say thanks to all the teachers and helpers who helped me with my work thankyou again
Reply: You are very welcome, Nicola! Hope you are enjoying Castle school.

Molly, Good to hear from you. It must feel really strange to be having hot weather now! What is your new school like? Do they have a website? Class 6's email address is class6@gillingstool-pri.s-gloucs.sch.uk I will tell Mr Smart to expect an email! From Mrs Harris

I would like to take the oppurtunity to thank all the staff and pupils at Gillingstool school for the day I had on wednesday on my school visit. It has increased my interest in becoming a primary school teacher and I appreciate all the time that was spent answering my questions by both teachers and children.

Thanks again for the great day.

Hello everyone
What a great site,Aaron,Kayleigh & Ryan have fun looking at all the activities they have done in school. Jodie is looking forward to nursery in september, hopefully there might be a chance that there will be photos of them on the web site soon.
All of them enjoy going to gillingstool, they say it is a cool school to go to, I agree as I also used to go to the same school but it was The Leaze when I was there in the good old days. None of the teachers that are there now taught me,Mr Morgan was our headmaster in my time(im not really that old am I?)
Keep up the good work
Reply: Thanks for your positive comments! There haven't been as many photos on this year as last year - hopefully more to come soon!

My niece's son goes to your school and it is through this that I was told about your website. I just wanted to offer my congratulations to all those involved in its operation. I work for a publisher whose main business is an internet news service, and your site is among the best I have seen of its size and nature.
Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Hello, I would have been at gillingstool 8 years ago. It doesnt feel that long ago but it seems like a lot has changed! I can remember Mrs Britton as head and Mrs Staton who taught me in year 5. I think the only person i recognise on the teaching staff now is Mrs cook who I dont think ever taught me so is more likely to remember my little brother Ricky cole!?! He was a complete nightmare who could usually be found hanging from a drain pipe somewhere and surprisingly is now a ballet dancer at the English National Ballet. Thankyou for some great memories!

Reply: I'm sure you'll meet lots of teachers who are (almost) as wonderful as those at Gillingstool when you move on to Castle in September!

gillingstool is alright
Reply: Good to heat your thoughts, Vicky!

Hi, we left Gillingstool a long time ago before moving to Castle School- we were there when there were only 5 classes and saw the "new" building be built. It seems to have changed a lot and none of our teachers are there any more. We rememeber Mrs Holland, Mr Bowring, Mrs Staton and Mr Saterthwaite. We look back on our days at Gillingstool fondly we had many laughs there.

In the future would definatly send our children to repeat the happiness and fun times we had there. We will remember them forever.

Thanks for the good time xx


Reply: Glad you have such fond memories of Gillingstool. Are you sure you don't remember Mrs Rastrick or Mrs Chappell ? They are long standing members at Gillingstool!

Hello Gillingstool Primary!! Was just remembering my school days here back in the 80's!! Not sure if you will remember me but I was a pupil when Mrs Briton was Head Teacher! I remember Mrs Hancock and Mrs Rasterick!! How is Sam and Joe??Sam was in the sam year as me!would be good to hear what he is doing,even pass on my email to him! Well now I live in Glasgow and am at university studying Business Information Management!! Its going good!! well i hope someone from the school gets this email and passes it on to Mrs Rasterick so sge can pass it on to sam!! been trying to catch up with some people!

I have some very fond memories of this school and im happy to see 2 teachers who taught me still doing their part!!

Reply: Your message has been passed onto Mrs Rastrick!

Really enjoyed looking at the pictures from Stratford Trip - especially the one of Meg with the owl.

Reply from Mrs Harris: You have Miss Kemeys to thank for uploading the Stratford and purse photos!

Hello Gillingstool! Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I suppose I?m really writing because I?ve just finished secondary school, and I don?t think I could have done it with out the help of all teachers that helped me. Mrs Hancock for the help you gave the whole class, do you remember when I helped out sticking the book tokens in rows of fives on a A5 piece of paper? Mrs Cook who helped me with my reading and the teaching of Bulgarian (sorry I don?t remember any)! Mrs Turner I hope your still not driving your multicolor sierra sapphire? No I?d like to thank you for the help you gave me as my teacher in Yr 5 and for teaching me to play Netball. Oh and for the cream egg!!!! And I?d like to thank Mr Suthern for being my teacher in Yr 6. :-) I?d like if you replied or emailed me back. Hwyl fawr (Welsh for good bye) Matthew Scorrer

hi kevin here, my brother charlie said that school was infected with a virus? i would be happy to remove this virus if u want me to, free of charge of course, its most probably the saasar virus. or i can give u a program called a stinger which executes the virus. bye for now.
Reply: Thanks for the offer, Kevin. We did have a virus for a short time, but fortunately our technican removed it for us.

I had a look at the website and found some stuff. Now that i have looked at it properly i found the links they are really fun (and I THINK SCHOOL IS BETTER THAN EVER the teachers give us good work not to easy not to hard.) everyone in my family has had a look at the website and they think it's excellent to. I really like the thought of having some pictures of An Ugly Bug Ball on here but is all of year 6 going on the website in their costumes. See and speak to you soon Luv Ya Chloe

Reply:
Glad you've had more chance to look around with your family, Chloe. I do want to get more pictures of the Ugly Bug Ball and also photos of the other classes too, but I'm still waiting for a lot of permission forms to allow photos to go onto the website. As soon as I have them, I'll get more pictures on! Mrs Harris

Maybe the castle school webpage could be viewed or a link to it could be put on the webpage. overall pretty good, good to see i can attend the best school in the world form the comfort of my living room. kevin. ps hi

Reply: Hello Kevin. Glad you enjoyed viewing our new website. Mrs Harris (with the compliance of all the staff in the school) made the website. I didn't use html - much too complicated for me! There will soon be a 'build a site' button using the system I used to build the website. I have put a link to the Castle school's website in the links section. Mrs Harris.

Congratulations what a wonderful web site. I have enjoyed looking at it and keeping up with old friends! I shall look forward to dropping in again from time to time and seeing how ithe site develops. I wish you every success for the future.

Reply: Thanks very much. We're always after new ideas for developing the site!
