Year 3 Vegetable garden
Thanks to the Fete Committee and Mr Lee the year 3 children have a wonderful flower and vegetable garden in front of the New Block. We are also grateful to Mr Hall (Nicholas 3KW) for coming to help us fill up the planters and then to build us a natural hazel wigwam for our runner beans and tomatoes. We have also planted carrots (just coming through), lettuce (this looks like cress Mrs Wade), cabbage and cucumbers (feel the frost has got these).

Abseil Tower, Climbing Wall and Zip Wire
After nearly twelve months we have received planning permission for our Abseil and Climbing tower. The expected start date for construction is 13 February 2012. The tower will be ten meters high with two Climbing routes and two Abseil routes. The Zip Wire will launch from the top of the tower and will be approximately 120 meters in length. This will be an exciting and exhilarating new activity base for the school.

FRED THE FISH
Mrs Prowley’s class had a new member arriving this week, a goldfish named Fred. Each child will take it in turns to feed Fred and help to clean his tank out each week. Many thanks to Lucy Jones for the surprise present. We promise to take good care of Fred, maybe even getting a friend for him soon.
