CHRISTMAS BAZAAR

The Christmas Bazaar was a great success this year with lots of stalls, gifts, face painting, dancing and not forgetting Father Christmas himself along with his trusting fairy Molly! The P.T.A. raised just over £700.00 and would like to say a big thank you to all those that helped on the day and to those that came along to support the event.

OUSEL CLASS have had a very busy term. This has included a very successful visit to Chesham Museum, which tied into the "Now and Then" topic they have been covering within history. As a result of this visit each student has identified a topic area and prepared a presentation that they will give to the Heritage House Sixth Form group in December.

In English, Ousel class have just finished reading a Roald Dahl book called, "The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me" which they thoroughly enjoyed. They spent a day at the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden which gave the class the opportunity to learn more about the man himself!

Ousel class continue to thoroughly enjoy music and during Heritage House's Christmas concert they will play "Little Donkey" as a solo piece.

Bring on next year!

Pink Parade

Everyone was given a pink tee shirt to decorate and then the chance to show it off in the catwalk, the children's reactions to the music were amazing and the event was enjoyed by all. The Pink Parade turned out to be the first of many to come. The event was in aid of The Breast Cancer Appeal and we raised £84.35

Children in Need raised money for Children in Need!

And we had fun on the way when our two special guests, the Mayoress of Chesham and Pudsey Bear himself came in to the school for our special "Spotty Day Strutt" With everyone dressed (including staff) in yellow and decorated with spots the students had the chance to strut down the catwalk and have a hug with Pudsey. We raised over two hundred pounds and we would like to thank Mel Harewood and Karen Standage for organising a really fantastic event!!

WYE CLASS went to Watford to do some Christmas shopping. They all enjoyed the decorations and a visit to Santa's Grotto.

EARLY YEARS went to Mead Open Farm on a very cold but sunny day and had a special visit from Father Christmas which warmed them all up. Even the sheep looked surprised!
