Read on to see a movie clip of the recording session and to hear a sample track…
What better way to raise funds than by enticing people with a good curry and Aqua certainly managed to cook up a feast!

Today, Grades 2 and 3 visited the Environmental Centre in The Bight. We would like to say a big thank you to Mr. Brian Riggs, the curator, who showed us around the displays and talked to us about the different habitats that our animals and plants share with us. He also spoke to us about ways in which we can help to protect the environment.

In May, the Grade 1 and 2’s went to visit the Fire Station. The children were shown around the station, they got the chance to sit in the fire engine and were able to spray the water hose! The children also learned about fire safety and what to do if there was a fire at home. The children even got into the local newspaper.
