On Sunday 6th April,  Ms McMorrin took part in the Brighton Marathon, as planned. It was not very pretty, and it was certainly not very fast, but it was completed! Thanks to the generosity of the community, over £1,100 has been raised for the NSPCC. Thank you so very much for your encouragement and kindness and support all its many forms. It is heartwarming to imagine how many children might be helped as the result of your sponsorship. 

On Wednesday 6 of our Year 6's competed against other local Primary Schools in a Dodgeball Tournament held at Trafalgar Secondary School. 

Year 6 had a truly wonderful time at Flowplant,  an engineering company in Salisbury. Thanks to Mr Smith,   and his skilled team, the children learned much about how engineering can be used to solve a range of puzzles and  overcome challenges. We are great believers in the maxim that ‘if you can see it, you can be it’ so let’s hope we have inspired a generation of engineers.

Last week was productive and joyful, made more so by the safe arrival of Miss Castle’s baby: mother and Hector are doing well! Several new families, who will be joining our community,  have popped in with admissions’ paperwork and we are looking forward to the Induction Event tomorrow, at 6pm.

The children have been as  enthusiastic and keen -to- learn as ever and  Friday’s Year 6 trip to the Water Meadows was a treat. Their behaviour was exemplary and luckily, the rain held off, enabling the children to explore this superb, local resource.

This week, we shall welcome folk who will be working with each class to share more about the environmental impact, and benefit, of the River Project. Following the visit, each class will create art work that will be displayed in the city later this term. Details to follow….

Finally, we hope that many families will be able to join us for “Look @ Learning” on Wednesday morning. We  are also looking forward to Year 5s’ contribution to a citywide choir at the Cathedral, on Friday. There is no  doubt that it will be a tuneful delight.

At the end of last term, our children took part in a community project called 'The Spirit of Water'.  Each child decorated a cardboard fish to display alongside the flower festival held at Salisbury Cathedral. The children did an amazing job! The cathedral had over 15,500 visitors and made both the regional and national press as well as the TV! The fish have now been moved to the cloisters for all to view for FREE.  The display will be dismantled early next week, so do pop by this weekend if you can!
