Anti-Bullying Conference
Fri 11 Oct 2019Our Anti-Bullying Champions have attended the Anti-Bullying Pupil Conference in Winchester today. The theme of the conference is: ‘Stand By Me’. The pupils will reflect on the topics of: self-esteem, identity, friendship and internet use, as well as learning more about ideas already working in Hampshire schools.
Throughout the day, the participants (both adults and pupils) will be encouraged to consider how they are going to use what they hear to address potential bullying in their schools. By the end of the day, participants will be able to identify their next steps, having considered the possible barriers, as well as being inspired for innovation and action.
On Friday 18th October, all pupils in KS2 will take part in Anti-Bullying Workshops and watch an Anti-Bullying Concert as part of our on going commitment to this subject.

Y6 Search Museum Visit
Thu 03 Oct 2019Yesterday Year 6 visited the Search Museum in Gosport.
They talked about Charles Darwin and his discoveries in the Galapagos Island whilst voyaging on HMS Beagle. The children had the opportunity to draw animals and think about how the animals' features ensure that they are adapted to their environment. They also looked at different finches and their beak shapes, considering how the shape of their beak suits the type of the food that they at - just like Darwin would have done.
Finally they also looked at some fossils are tried to find the modern equivalent, for example how a mammoth tooth looks similar to an elephant tooth.
The children were fantastic representatives for the school and Miss Wandless and Mrs Martin were very impressed with the children's inquisitiveness and scientific thinking.
