Last month, a small group of Year 4 girls initiated and undertook a sponsored walk on the school mile track during their lunch break. A committee of 6 decided to raise money with 3 girls agreeing to do the walking.

 

Altogether the 3 walked 49 laps which is just shy of 5 miles - kindly adjudicated by Mrs Le Count. 

 

The girls wanted to give the money they raised to the homeless and settled on giving to local homeless charity CHESS. In total the girls raised £150.35.

 

Earlier this week, the 3 walkers visited CHESS Homeless where they handed in their donation.

 

The 3 girls that did the walk were:

LEILA ACTON ROBERTS (P4)

WILLOW CONNOLY (O4)

IOANNA ZASHEVA (P4)

 

With additional supporting friends / committee members that helped raise funds and cheered the 3 girls on when they walked, these were:

 

ISLA BROWN (W4)

AVA CONWAY (P4)

SOPHIA DIAMOND EVES (W4)

 

The girls were really thoughtful and wanted to do something to help others, they also were really caring and supported each other’s endeavours which we think is something worth celebrating. It is incredible to see young people developing these kind and generous characteristics. 

A terrific result for our girls in their first League match. Away from home against a really good side at Lawford Mead, they came away with a 3-1 victory!

 

Well done Mrs Bunn and all the girls! #Letgirlsplay

 

Don't forget we're supporting 'Comic Relief' by wearing RED this Friday.

Voluntary donations can be made direct to the charity via ParentPay if you wish to do so.

 

A big "Well Done!" to our Year 5 engineers who attended the Teledyne E2V inter-school competition on Friday. They represented the school fabulously, came in third place overall and managed to win the 'Catapult' contest!

 

Great work everyone!

Thank you to Mrs Mixture and Mr Wills for organising the 'All Things Alpaca' and 'The Owl and Raptor Company' visits for British Science Week. 

 

The children loved meeting all the creatures, especially the minibeasts!

On the 28th April few are delighted to welcome professional footballer Chloe Peplow (currently playing for Southampton FC) will be joining us at Mildmay, across the whole school, to deliver assemblies and activities for the children to join in with.

You can find out more about the visit and the ‘Sports for Champions’ programme by following the link below. You can also support Chloe and Mildmay Primary to provide resources and support the children’s mental and physical well-being by making a donation IF you feel it to be appropriate.

Aardman studios have created a short film called 'Home' in association with Save the Children. The cartoon is based on the experiences of a refugee starting in a new school/building a new life after having to flee conflict.
