NEWS & NOTICES

SUMMER 2016

May 12th 2016

The Art Department have been asked to paint a jigsaw piece as part of the Epsom and Ewell Art Festival.

The theme of the jigsaw is ‘Our Town’. Charlie Holroyd ( Year 6 ) and Jack Fernandes (Year 7) have set to work on the challenge. They came up with taking the Epsom Race Course idea and adding a little twist, suggesting the race horses might be fed up with racing and would rather stop and have a cup of tea with everyone else!

We think that they have done rather well!

The work will be displayed in the Ebbisham Centre form the 24th—26th June.

Epsom and Ewell Art Festival

Year 3 Trip to R.A.F Hendon

Year 3 had an exciting and informative day at

the RAF museum. The boys were thrilled to see

examples of the places that were flown in the

Battle of Britain. They also attended a Blitz

workshop, where they went back in time,

made gas mask boxes and were issued with

identity cards. They met an ARP warden who

explained about the rules introduced to keep

civilians safe during the Blitz. The session was

interrupted when an air raid siren sounded and

the boys had to go to the Anderson Shelter.

Year 5 Trip to The Water Treatment Centre at Bough Beech Reservoir

The Year 5 boys were lucky enough to visit the Water Treatment

Centre at Bough Beech Reservoir. The facility is very impressive and

not open to the general public, so it was very exciting to have access to

the works. The boys were given a tour of the site and even walked in a

long tunnel underneath the reservoir. They were even given a glass of

sparkling, freshly cleaned water. The experience enhanced the topic of

water that they have been studying this term, and the boys now

understand what a precious resource water is.

House Music Competition 2016

What a wonderful day of music making we had on Tuesday! From flute to double bass, classical guitar to

rock drumming, trumpet to ukulele and everything in between: all the performers did themselves and

their House proud. Our judge, Mrs Jan Smith, was most impressed with the standard and had a very

difficult task in selecting the winners.
