Harvest Festival

Thank you so much for your kind Harvest donations.  We were very fortunate to have Charis and Ellen visit us this morning from City Mission to celebrate Harvest and say thank you for all the generous donations.  Volunteers from their team will be collecting the food and toiletries on Thursday and taking them back to the food bank, ready to distribute to those families who need it.  If you still have any last minute donations to make, there is still a couple of days to do so.

Harvest Festival!

Our Harvest Festival is this coming Thursday 18th October! We are very much looking forward to welcoming the team from Southampton City Mission to lead our assembly and to distribute our donations to Basics Bank. 

Southampton City Mission: "All of the food that we are able to give out to those in need, comes to us as donations from the public. We are completely dependent upon this year round generous support from churches, schools, businesses and members of the public in order to help those who need emergency food in Southampton and the surrounding area."

Please could children bring in tins, packets and jars this week up to and including Thursday. We will see which class brings in the most!

Thank you very much for your donations!

World book day

Yesterday we had an amazing day celebrating world book day. We came in dressed up as our favourite book characters. We read the story Albert Le Blanc. We then imagined that we were a toy in the toy shop and had to think of special skills we could use to cheer Albert up.
We investigated the learning lab for clues that had been left out and hidden. We then read the hidden message.
In the afternoon we had the chance to share our favourite book with the year 6 children.
We had such a good day. A big thank you to the parents for helping to make some fantastic costumes.

Year 4 get sharky

This afternoon for the Roald Dahl rock challenge event year 4 had to create sharks. We were given large boxes and left to it. We have now got 4 very convincing looking sharks. What an amazing job year 4 you should be very proud of how they look.
Well done Rooks

Winners at our school

A huge well done goes to some of our children today who were invited to the mayors chambers last night after becoming winners and runners up in an unusual suspects competition. The children were encouraging others to recycle some of the more unusual items that often get forgotten.  Some of the winning entries will be seen around Southampton. Well done to everyone who entered, you did amazingly!

 

Class party

This afternoon we said goodbye to life in year r in style with a party like no other. We even said goodbye to the Puffin name as it is now extinct. :-( it has been a blast we have learnt lots and come such a long way. Thank you for the memories Puffins. Mrs Carter, Miss Bradley and Miss Head

Everest challenge

Today we have taken part in the Everest fund-raiser.  We had to go through the challenge as many times as possible in 30 minutes.  It was so much fun.
