In December, we have been doing lots of singing in the community.

We have been to sing for…

The Autistic Society (in front of Marks and Spencer)
Sainsbury’s staff Christmas Lunch
Maypole Nursing Centre in Hedge End
GEMS based at Kings Community Church

If you have seen us singing in the community, we hope you have enjoyed it – let us know what you thought of our singing!

In assembly on Wednesday 27th November, Mr Purnell came from Portsmouth Rotary Club to personally thank the children for their kind donations to the Christmas 2012 Shoe Box Appeal. Mr Purnell kindly showed the children some photographs of where these gifts have been delivered.

Thank you to everyone who so kindly donated a gift.

Last week Ruth from the Stroke Association came in to see us again. We handed Ruth a cheque from our school for £926.26.

Thank you to everyone who came to support our Sip for Stroke event.

Along with the money raised when Miss Bourner and Mrs Roberts took part in the 5K Big Fun Run, we think we have raised just over £700.

Thank you so much if you supported us in any way.

There are some things that cost almost nothing that can so enrich a childhood with memories and enjoyment. So here’s our summer challenge.
How many of these things can you do during the long summer holidays? Tick them off on the sheet as you finish them and comment on this blog to let everyone know how you are getting on and which activities you enjoy the most.

Summer Challenge

Please note… Several of these things could be a bit dangerous if you aren’t careful, so make sure that you involve an adult and let them know what you’re doing.
