Upcoming Events

We have lots going on to celebrate Earth Week next week. Take a look at the schedule above to see what will be happening. On Tuesday we are asking all learners to bring in their animal teddies so we can explore how climate change is impacting on all habitats and all creatures. On Friday, we are encouraging all learners to dress as insects to raise awareness of the importance of these awesome mini-beasts to eco-systems around the world.

Beach clean up registration and permission - please complete this by Wednesday, 21 April to get involved in the beach clean up.

Earth Week Swimathon

Throughout Earth Week, all primary classes will be taking part in a swimathon during their swimming lessons. This activity has been organised by a group of Year 4 learners in order to raise awareness of the importance of clean water.

After finding out that some children around the world don’t even have access to running water to drink and have to walk long distances to get clean water and then carry it home, they decided to raise awareness of how lucky we are. The learners are taking action to help the charity Books and Bread for Kenya, who support three communities in Kenya where people are in desperate need of basic resources.

We encourage you to consider making a donation after your class swimming to support our Year 4 learners in their efforts to help Books and Bread for Kenya.

Let's swim as far as we can this week. We will count all the laps and let you know how many we get on!
