Eco Working party
A huge thank you to all the children and parents who attended the Eco Working party last week after school. They tirelessly worked to clear the planters and plant new broad bean, cauliflower and pakchoi seeds. A new compost bin has now been created by Mr Witter and some helpers, which looks fantastic; some children and parents tidied some of the planters and planted new bulbs, another group worked on supporting our saplings with stakes and another group cleared the mini pond area and filled the water up. We also created a new dead wood pile for wildlife to inhabit! During the next working party, on Thursday 20th November, we will be creating some new 'willow' edging for our Wildflower Meadow.

Cross Country Race 2 @ Fleetville 
The cross country runners took part in their second league race of the season at Fleetville Junior School last week.
 
The races are always competitive with our runners also keen to try and improve on their previous performance by finishing higher up the order.  Well done to Hannah, Lyla and Autumn who all managed to do so.
 
Girls: Hannah - 19th, Lyla - 29th, Victoria - 30th, Autumn - 36th, Jess - 43rd
Boys: Taylan - 17th, Phil - 19th, Theo - 31st, Tom W - 36th, Finlay - 45th, Tom M - 53rd
 
Overall, both teams finished in 6th place in the team competition,

Our boys and girls teams took part in the School Games table tennis tournament last week at Marlborough School.
 
With the girls missing a team member, the event was all about the experience of playing matches against other schools.  For the boys, it was a chance to test the skills they have been developing as members of the Tuesday before school table tennis club run by coach Anthony.
 
Both teams played three pool games after which the boys progressed to the semi finals.  It was a tense game which ended up two games a piece however the points countback saw Prae Wood edge the win against The Grove 1 by just two points.  In the final, they met The Grove 2 who they also beat on points after winning two games a piece in the pool stage.  Unfortunately, the pressure of the final perhaps got to the players with The Grove 2 eventual winners, 3-1.  The standard of table tennis was exceptionally high but regular weekly coaching and practise as members of our breakfast club certainly paid off.

Eco Warrior visit to Verulamium Park and Grebe House

Eco Warrior visit to Verulamium Park and Grebe House

The Eco Warriors recently visited Verulamium Park and created a dead wood pile for larger creatures to shelter in, such as hedgehogs, and smaller insects to inhabit. They learned about 'wild' hedges and the issue of cutting hedges around the park. They discussed the importance of creating Wildflower Meadows and talked about how they were going to develop our own school one further.

They then went on to Grebe House, Wildlife Garden and saw the many measures the volunteers had taken to support local wildlife, including the pond, composting areas and the creation of wildlife areas to encourage pollinators. After heading back to school, the children all made a bird feeder to take home!
