The Y3 Fantastic Foxes students made their school radio debut in July 2023.

Limericks are short poems that are funny. They always have 5 lines and follow a specific rhyming pattern. Limericks began in England in the early 1700s and were made famous by the poet Edward Lear in the 1800s. Each student wrote their own limerick and recorded a reading of it to air on the school radio station. The visit to the on-campus recording studio was extra special because the students were studying the topic Sound in their Science lessons.

We are thrilled to share the experiences our Year 4BB pupils had during their recent residential trip to the Albert Schweitzer Haus in Lindenfels. From March 22nd to March 24th, our class embarked on a journey filled with fun, learning, and laughter. At the Jugendherberge, located amidst a forest, the children had the opportunity to meet and feed rabbits, sheep, and playful cats, making friends along the way. We enjoyed refreshing walks in which we explored and immersed ourselves in nature.

On Monday 5th June, the four classes of Flexible Lower Primary were excited to welcome First Aiders from the ASB (Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund) for a children's first aid course. During the morning, each class had a 90 -minute session learning the basics of emergency first aid, including how to cope with a nosebleed and how to put someone into the recovery position. The children also learned how to apply bandages to a wound, with the result that by the end of the session the whole class was bandaged. Fortunately, it only looked scary to those who then met the class in the schoolyard or in the hallway - all the children were actually very well.

The morning was a great success with all the children taking part and having lots of fun.

Our thanks to the staff from the ASB for a super and informative morning.
