Founders Day 2010

Expeditions Week

cnsl — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:08:47 +0000

Expeditions week is fast approaching. Some (hopefully all) of the expeditions, where the children are staying away from home, will have a blogsite where we will post photographs and news daily so you can enjoy hearing about the children’s activities before they get home. We will have to cross our fingers that technology will be on our side: some of us are going to quite remote parts of the country. At the moment the two sites set up are:

cnsl — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:55:52 +0000

Just a reminder that the HWPA Summer Ball takes place on Friday 18th June. It starts at 1915 (not 1930 as published in the School Calendar).

SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPH – Friday 11th June

cnsl — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 10:19:05 +0000

A reminder to all parents that the school photograph takes place this Friday 11th June. Can we please ask that you make every effort to have your child in to school on time with clean shoes, neat hair and full school uniform including a jumper. The actual “click” will take place at approx. 0930.

INFORMATION EVENING – Prospective Year 3 parents

cnsl — Thu, 27 May 2010 06:07:47 +0000

We look forward to seeing as many prospective Year 3 parents as possible at our information evening tonight at 1930 in the P.A.C.

SUMMER SUNSHINE

cnsl — Mon, 24 May 2010 10:44:32 +0000

Whilst I’m sure we are all delighted that we are at last enjoying some warmer summer weather, may we take this opportunity to remind all parents that a generous application of suntan cream in the morning would help protect your child from the dangers of exposure to too much sunshine. A sun hat in school would also be most useful for break time use.

Bug Houses – Year One

Year One spent a very happy morning building houses for the different minibeasts in Forest School. The site was filled with bug castles, hotels and even whole cities. The children thought carefully about the natural materials they could use to create suitable environments for the minibeasts. There was great excitement when the first beetle moved in!

Story Telling Workshop

marys — Mon, 24 May 2010 09:28:29 +0000

The children in the Pre-prep, Year Three and Year Four had a very special visitor recently. Noah Messomo came to tell traditional stories from Africa and brought a whole array of drums for the children to play. The music played an important part in the story telling and the children were absolutely mesmerised.
