We went around the yard asking the pupils on their views of the school dinners. The answers we got were:

Name: Emilia, Year 5. The dinners are Lush because they are so tasty and nice.

Name: Jack S, Year 6. Its okay but they need a little bit of improvement.

Name: Ellie, Year 3. The dinners have loads of flavour.

Name: Xander, Year 4. The dinners fill you up.

Name: Finley, Year 3. It’s nice food and it keeps you healthy.

The Gunpowder PlotLast night on the 5th of November the king’s guards came to investigate some cellars. One cellar had 36 barrels of gun powder and wood to cover the barrels. In the shadows Guy Fawkes was in horsing gear ready to escape before the explosion, but before Guy Fawkes could escape the houses of parliament. He was captured and taken to the tower and stretched and executed to death and all the other conspirators/ plotters including the leader Robert Katesby were all put straight into prison weren’t allowed to come out and never freed.

Swaziland Orphanage AppealAs you may know we have been raising money for Swaziland, and two of our teachers have recently been to Swaziland while we were all on our holiday. We had a visit from Mr John Skinner who had informed us all about Swaziland. We are sponsoring two children in Swaziland orphanages and shall continue to do so. If you have any fundraising ideas please tell your school council member.
