Postage Stamps, a message from Mrs White
 I am collecting used postage stamps for the charity
CLIC Sargent. My friend’s daughter has just finished 2 years of treatment for Leukaemia and CLIC Sargent supported them through this very tough time. There will be a box in the Year 1 classroom for all
the used stamps you can donate - or please hand in at the school office. Thank You. |

Switch off fortnight
 Our Switch Off Fortnight will begin Monday 19th November.
Over the fortnight students will learn
about the energy industry and explore what energy sources are available;
debating which ones should be used to power the UK and understanding why it’s
important to have a secure, low-carbon and affordable energy supply. |
Year 6 visit to the Sealife Centre
 Year 6 took the long journey into London to experience the
mysteries of the deep in our capital's Sealife Centre. Amongst many things the
children saw sharks, rays, lobsters, starfish, jellyfish, octopus and even a
turtle. The children were so excited about all that they saw but also learned
about the threats of overfishing and plastics in our ocean. |
Prayer Space
 Beginning on November 5th we have been running a
Prayer Space in school. It was set up last Friday with the aid of members of
Christian Youth Outreach (CYO), who provided much of the equipment and help.
Each class has had a chance to visit in small groups and explore. This is time
for reflection in a relaxed and calm atmosphere. The children have greatly
enjoyed their time in the Prayer Space room and had some lovely experiences. |
