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!

Swifts and Swallows get very ARTY!

Today, Swifts and Swallows were visited by some artists who gave them an amazing opportunity to create work to be displayed in Southampton.  Artist Kev Munday, will be using our work as inspiration for a HUGE billboard set to be displayed in January.  Keep your eyes peeled for this (the billboard behind Kwikfit in Bitterne.) Children used bold colours and shapes to create their very own funky character in the style of Kev's work.  These pieces will be exhibited in 'Showcase gallery' in Southampton in February (more details to follow.) What a fantastic opportunity they all had today to showcase their talents!  Well done super Swifts and Swallows.  Take a sneak peak of their designs below...

Children in need- spot alert

Today for children in need we all came to school in our spotty best. We worked super hard at completing our anti bullying week learning. Don't we all look amazing.
