School in a Bag packathon

Following our extremely successful sponsored walk last term we had a visit from School in a Bag charity so we could pack the school bags we bought – 65 of them! The Year 6 chaplains helped set up the assembly line and children from years 2 & 3 packed a bag each. Each bag has exercise books, stationery, a lunch box, spork, water bottle, toothbrush and toothpaste, flannel. Each bag is individually numbered so we should be able to track them and see the children who have received them. Our bags are going to children in Haiti.

The Endangered Seahorses of Studland Bay

For their Laudato Si project this term, year 3 wrote non-chronological reports after learning all about the seahorses from Julia at The National Trust. We learnt about their habitat, diet, features and why they are an endangered species. Julia also informed us how The National Trust are aiming to protect and support these seahorses by planting more seagrass at low tide to sustain their habitat.

Year 4 Pony Club

Horse and Pony club is a new club that has started this term for years 3 and 4.  This week we designed and built show jumps during our lunch time club.  After school, we were extremely lucky to have  two special visitors!

Girls Maths Club – Uganda Cafe

The girls of the maths club made a brilliant job of shopping, writing menus, taking orders and giving change. They raised over £50 for Brother John and our partner school in Uganda. Thank you to Mrs Gadston and Miss Meteau for organising the cafe, and to Mrs Nash for the scones.
