Erin (Y1) spent time last Saturday on 'World Penguin Day' counting penguins on behalf of scientists monitoring penguin colonies around the world.

Erin had to click on every adult, chick and egg she could see in the real time image. These numbers will be logged and added to the total, which will give scientists an idea of how many penguins inhabit different parts of the world.

Cressie (along with her Mum and brother) has been involved in a local community project making face visors for local Care givers. The group was set up by Sarah Bicknell in Churt and the family are part of a work force group off shoot in Bramshott. In total there are 65 volunteers in Haslemere, Farnham, Midhurst and Bramshott, who in the last two weeks have made 12,000 visors. They are now working towards 15,000 with the goal to make 20,000. They have had great feedback on the quality and high standard of the visor. They are being used at Frimley Park Hospital, Phyllis Tuckwell and local drs surgeries too. 

They are now also doing private orders so if you know anyone who needs them please do let the family  know. They still need more volunteers, drivers and fund raising - these cost 85p to make so even a fiver makes a huge difference!

Ted and his family made a bird box and rigged it with a camera. Almost immediately, a bluetit moved in!  Ted is enjoying watching the bird make its nest and the whole family are hoping for chicks in the future!

The children of St Ives were tasked with designing the most marvellous, fantastic and magical Easter egg!  They worked really hard to decorate their eggs in the most unique way possible - everything from a burger, to captain underpants to a cowboy! It really has been amazing to watch all of these entries come in and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to make one. The winners are as follows:

Nursery - Rafe 
Pre-Prep - Ted 
Lower KS2 - Florence
Upper KS2 - Olivia L

Over the Easter holidays, the children were asked if they wanted to take part in an Easter baking competition.  The children sent in photos to Mrs Goldsworthy so she could judge them.  The standard was incredibly high - and the food all looked delicious.  The winners were:

Nursery - Arman for his Marshmallow Easter Lambs
Pre-Prep - Florence for her wonderfully decorated Easter Cupcakes
Lower KS2 - Josie for her Hot Cross Bunnies baked for NHS staff at St George's
Upper KS2 - Ione for her Chocolate Showstopper Bake.

Good morning everyone! Good luck for your first day of online learning. We hope you will be inspired by all the lessons we've put together for you. We can't wait to see your work. Go St Ives!

Online Learning - we're ready for you! We're so sad to say goodbye to the children today but the term is not over! We'll see you all on Monday morning!

Year 3 has been investigating the permeability of soil samples. They found that the sandy soil was more permeable than the loamy soil because the water passed through much more quickly. Great work scientists!

Pupils from Reception to Year 6 attended a Cricket Coaching workshop with Grayshott Cricket Club within year groups. With warm up drills to get the feet moving, a fun catching game & Diamond Cricket, pupils learnt lots of tips & tricks. Thank you Grayshott Cricket Club for a fun afternoon.

As part of our 3-day green festival on Global Citizenship, pupils are learning about #fairtrade products. Pre-prep enjoyed a visit to two local supermarkets to look for Fairtrade products & learnt how to buy responsibly.
