Mpanda says 'hi'
This is Mpanda who we are supporting to go to school. His headteacher is Grosper, one of our Maasi visitors last term.
The building in the background is one of the classrooms. The Tanzanian flag is flying and every morning the children salute the national flag before starting school.
In the background you can see the expanse of land that the school is set in.

The Bare Necessities!
Here is a short clip of one of our pupils performing 'Bare Necessities' at our recent music concert. This amazing playing should make us all appreciate the value of supporting our children in taking up a music instrument! Well done, Nathan!

Tudor Tales
Year 3 enjoyed writing their own playscripts and creating a shadow puppet theatre for parents. They included historical facts and a lot of humour! Well done Year 3.
Year R try out the Tyre Park
Year R are the first class to test out the new Tyre Park:
"Wow this is so cool!".
"It's fun and we have to take turns."
"I like the big, round tyres because you can bounce on them like a trampolene."

Walk the walls!
This week saw year 5 walking the walls in Southampton! We found out lots of interesting information about the medieval walls, including lots of gory details about how the walls were defended! We have used the information we have found out to create our very own guide books about the walls of Southampton!
New Tyre Park Installed!
Thanks partly to contributions from our PTA and your support, a brand new tyre park is being installed on the school field for the children to enjoy! A tyre park is an outside play area made up of brand new heavy duty tyres which are then fastened to the ground either in halves or on their sides to make a great play area.

The design for our area was an idea from one of our school councillors. They were shown around the play area as it was being fitted and talked to the installers about their work.
