In the Press

Year 6 pupils have been learning how to cycle safely on the roads with Bikeability this week. We hope you've all enjoyed it and now have the skills and confidence for all kinds of cycling.

Thank you to all the schools who took part in our Pre-Prep Spring art competition. We loved receiving your work and then displaying it at the exhibition last night. It looked fantastic!  We really enjoyed meeting those of you who came along and congratulations to the winners.

We are so delighted to have a new outdoor classroom.  Thank you so much to our wonderful parent body FOSI (Friends of St Ives) for their outstanding efforts in raising funds for this fantastic addition to our school. It is already coming into great use!

A huge thank you to Mrs Butterfield and her family who spent Good Friday building us a fantastic habitat zone. We now have two wildlife hotels, two bee hotels and a look out platform. The children are already loving having them and Year 5 were delighted to spot several mice in there yesterday! 

Year 6 pupils enjoyed celebrating St George's Day in Haslemere by joining St George, the dragon, the damsel and her handmaiden for a short ceremony at the war memorial.  A wreath of roses was laid for St George's Day and the flag of St George was raised and then lowered to half mast as a sign of respect for those who lost their lives in the Sri Lankan bombings.

What a beautiful day for our Easter Egg Hunt! All the pupils loved running around the grounds looking for chocolate eggs and especially loved seeing the Easter bunny! Happy Easter everyone! 

Thank you for the wonderful Easter bonnets that were paraded around school this morning! So much effort went into making them, with some wonderfully creative designs across all year groups.

Our lovely Year 3 pupils made fabric flower bouquets for their mothers. Happy Mothers Day!

Congratulations to pupils in Years 3-6 who took part in the Inter-House Hockey competition. It was a great morning of Sport with the following results - 1st Chichester (Green), 2nd Canterbury (Yellow), 3rd Winchester (Blue) and 4th Windsor (Red). Well done to everyone for working so hard and showing great team spirit!

Year one have some new classmates! After a long 21 days of incubating and hatching, our chicks have finally arrived, just in time for spring!
