Harvest Festival
Thank you so much for your generous donations
for harvest. Mr. Covey is delivering them to the
Basics Bank at Lymington today. They are a re-
markable organisation who have supported hun-
dreds of families who are going through very diffi-
cult times. We celebrated with poems and read-
ings from our year 5 children and singing beautiful
harvest hymns. Reverend David from Ashley
Baptist Church led our worship as well as leading
a sing-a-long with his guitar.
Year 3 Celebration of Learning
Our year 3 performed a range dance, movement and rhythms for their parents this
week in a celebration of their learning around ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance.’ Parents also got
an opportunity to look at the children’s books and admire the progress they have made
in such a short time.
As with all the learning in our
school, the topic links subjects
across the curriculum so that chil-
dren have an opportunity to write,
discuss personal and social
issues, create art and drama and look at
geography amongst other things as part
of their learning.
Thank you to those parents who could
come along and join in the celebration.
Pets as Therapy
We are very lucky that Mrs. Carey brings her dog
Jess in to school as part of the Pets as Therapy pro-
gramme. Many children benefit from the therapeutic
effect of petting and looking after Jess.
Mrs. Carey recently won a photo cushion (as seen
in the picture) in a competition where she had de-
scribed the fantastic work that she does with the
children and Jess.
Don’t forget the Halloween Disco tonight.
Lower School: 5.30pm — Upper School: 7.15pm
Year 4 visit to Butser Ancient Farm
The children in year 4 visited
Butser Ancient Farm this week
as part of their learning about
the Anglo-Saxons. The children
had a go at different practical
tasks like wattling (building a
fence or house wall with
hazel branches), writing runes
(Anglo-Saxon lettering) onto
chalk using green leaves to
make them stand out and archaeology, using trowels to uncover an-
cient and modern relics from the earth.
The children had a wonderful opportunity to immerse themselves into An-
glo-Saxon life and see first-hand
how Anglo-Saxons lived.
There will be a celebration of the
children’s learning on Thursday
9th November from 2.15pm—
3.15pm.
Samba Performance
Our amazing Samba Band stole the show
when they performed this week at the
Chairman’s Year of Music Celebration
Concert at Thornden School in
Chandlers Ford.
A range of musical performances from
different schools—infant, special and sec-
ondary included—was enjoyed by the au-
dience and Councillor Keith Chapman who
has initiated the Year of Music.
We are grateful to Mr. Thew for his
inspirational teaching and to the parents
who ensured we could get as many of the
band as possible to the event.
