SO MUCH TO DO– SO LITTLE TIME!

A number of children achieved BRONZE merit award since the last Grapevine – namely Jackson Reeves, Angus Whatman, Rianna Reeves, Hailey Williams, Emily Beath-Peace, Mitchell, Mary Talbot, Sharmayne Welsh, Isabelle Abby, Baily Peckham and Nicholas Abby. They are now striving for SILVER, continuing to receive ‘Classic Catch Awards’ for schooling, respect and responsibility and participation.

Our Visit to NASA On Friday 22nd


June at 9:30-


10:30am (that’s 6:30-7:30pm Texas time!) we ‘visited’ NASA in Houston (Texas, USA). Mrs. Patten organized a superb Virtual Tour with NASA, very professionally guided by `Steve’. The LIVE video stream took us through NASA Visitors Museum and the ‘ins and outs’ of a working space station. The children were especially enthralled by the issue of waste disposal - both human and material!


Would you believe Astronauts’ bodies grow up to 5 cm whilst in space?


What about….Astronauts exercise 2 hours every day whilst in space?


And…while in space astronauts travel at 28,000 kilometres per hour. All true!


This has been our second virtual tour. Both have been extremely interesting. Where will we visit next? National Tree Day The school will celebrate National Tree day on Friday 27th


July with a tree planting


day in the grounds. This will be the beginning of the beautification of the front of the school grounds.
