Year 3 garden update

We've been enjoying the last of the colourful flowers from the bulbs we planted in the autumn. Next task is to plant out pumpkin seeds.

Our potatoes are really putting on a mass of growth! Do you think we'll beat Year 4 in the competition?

Mayor Making

The former Sheriff of Southampton, Councillor Carol Cunio was elected today, Wednesday May 12, as the 788th Mayor of Southampton, a role for which records go back to 1217. She has taken over from the former Mayor, Councillor Elizabeth Mizon.

Our School was represented at the ceremony, which took place at the Guildhall, by two of our school councillors.

Year three visited Fairweather's learning garden in Beaulieu recently. We learnt how to be good gardeners and had fun watering the plants (and eachother!), mulching paths and snipping broccoli to sample.

Get Recycling!

The School Council would like to get everyone to recycle more! We collected a bag of rubbish from around our school and took it to Hedge End recycling depot to see what could be recycled. We were met by the manager, Chris Macdonald, who showed us where all our rubbish could be put in the right place. His site is the most successful of 26 recycling depots in Hampshire and has a record 85% recycling rate. He reckons that people could do a lot more to recycle their rubbish even if it did mean putting him out of a job! Enjoy the pictures of us looking round and recycling our rubbish!

Parent Helper Request!

Year 4 would really appreciate a volunteer to support our trip to Fishbourne Roman Palace! Please join us for a really exciting day! The trip is this Thursday.

Year 3 current events

Watch this space because year 3 are working on articles of recent events such as trips and growing potatoes.

Just a quick reminder to all parents of Year 5 children that swimming starts next Monday (May 10th). Children will need to bring a costume, towel and 20p for a locker.
