A reminder that Friday Worksharing Assemblies are cancelled on 18th November as we celebrate Yameriga's 50th birthday, by marching at 10:00 am and then a party from 6:00-8:00 pm.

The last day and they are already tidying chalets, collecting belongings and packing up!

Disco was great fun last night. Today a mixture of events: Beach Walk, Problem  Solving, Aeroball etc.

The party are due to arrive back in Balham at 5:00pm.

Hasn't the week passed quickly!?

Last night finished with a wonderful Camp Fire: Lots of songs and food round the flickering flames.

Today we have  Zip Wire, Aeroball, Orienteering, Giant Tunnel, Beach Walk and tonight, of course, THE DISCO!!

The staff tell me that your children have been absolutely fantastic! We expect nothing else!

The first full day, good weather and lots of fun was had by all! Everybody was boosted by the arrival of Francesca and today we have Abseiling, Archery and Survivor!

The party arrived safely and without mishap at 3:30pm on Monday and eagerly set about exploring, followed by evening fun of Wacky Races.

Incredibly, by 11:00pm all were fast asleep!! This is a record, I think.

Tuesday 18th the children were up early under a bright sky for a first full day's activities: Climbing Wall, Jacob's Ladder, Giant Swing.

Our Y6 children, accompanied by their teachers, have departed for PGL, Osmington Bay, Dorset today!

They will be spending the week challenging themselves by undertaking a range of activities like Abseiling, Archery, Orienteering, Climbing, Fencing etc.

On 6/10/11 at the Trinity Cup our Y5/6 squad excelled and reached the semi-finals without having conceded a goal! Unfortunately we were defeated 1:0 by Penwortham who advanced to the final.

School Council have been raising money all week for Breast Cancer Care. On Friday the week concluded with a cake sale which took the amount raised in the week to £232!

Brilliant, and Thanks for your help and support!

Many thanks to our fantastic community for raising well over £800 for Red Nose Day 2011!

Thanks to all families for your support and generosity.

Ravenstone School celebrated the end of their “eco week” in style with its very own fashion show.
The week focused on the environment, planet and climate change - with students learning how to recycle, re-use and reduce what we use.
As part of the activities, they gathered old paper and leaflets and pulped them to make recycled paper.
They then used the paper to write letters to local MP Sadiq Khan about what the government should do to help the environment.
The week ended with an eco fashion show – where all the clothes were made from recycled materials.
Mr Khan, who attended the event, said: “The Eco fashion show was a great way to finish off what’s been a really informative week for the children at Ravenstone School.

“It’s clear from speaking to them that they’ve learnt a great deal about saving the environment, and in a fun and innovative way.

“I’ll be reading all the letters sent to me by the children and make sure their views are heard by the government.

“The message is clear: we can all play our part in saving our environment no matter our age.”
