Week ending 9 June 2017

 

Happy JUNE Birthday to: Freya Clapton, Ella Gravett, Alice Hindmarch, Maya Jacobs, Ivy Odell, Casey Price and Ellie Wiggins.

 

During JUNE we are focusing on the core value of HONESTY

 

Big Science Event

The Big Science Event is a competition open to all primary schools in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire; it has been run since 2010. Children within their schools have the opportunity to develop their own child led science investigations. Having devised their investigation they then have the chance to carry it out; thinking carefully about the procedure, fair testing and their conclusions. At Stadhampton all children in Class 3 were able to take part. Once the investigations were complete, they presented their findings and a winning school team was selected. Bigger schools are able to select more than one team, some even two.

 

A judge from the Big Science Event came to school to watch our team do their presentation. The judges then got together to choose who out of the 120 teams from 73 schools would go through to the final 10. We are very pleased to announce that our team were successful, getting through to the final to be held later in the term.

 

Congratulations to everyone in the team: Tende, Isabella, Tillie, Juliana and Ella. The judge who came to the school was extremely impressed with their presentation saying ‘you gave a very polished presentation, easily the best I’ve seen so far’. He was also impressed with how well the group worked together and how well thought through their investigation was.

Woodlands Residential Visit

A huge thank you to everyone who has paid in full for the Class 3 residential visit to Woodlands. There are a very small number of outstanding balances which we would appreciate payment for at the earliest opportunity. Thank you. We are pleased to confirm that Mrs Scragg and Sally Clark, who used to attend this school and is now a student with experience of working as a TA at a local school, will be accompanying the visit. We do hope that Miss Raval will be well enough to also accompany the trip and will advise what the arrangements will be if this is not possible once we receive more information from Miss Raval.

Congratulations

We always like to hear how our past students are progressing and would like to congratulate ex-Stadhampton students who have been given roles of responsibility at Icknield Community College in the next academic year: Head GirlOrla Fernie; Senior Prefects: Jake Day, Bryce Dobson, Georgia Valentine. Prefects:Matt Ellis, Annabel Roe, Hannah Tombling. Congratulations to you all.
