Visit by the AVDC Munch Monster Team
Fri 22 Nov 2019This afternoon we welcomed the Munch Monster food recycling team from Aylesbury Vale District Council. They explained the importance of food recycling and the process waste foods goes through to produce both methane gas to generate electricity and nitrogen liquid to fertilize crops.
Three pupils took part in a competition to create a Munch Monster and all children were given stickers to decorate their home recycling bins.
The school is awaiting delivery of a large bin to enable us to recycle all food waste on the premises so we look forward to getting the children on board with this green initiative.

In the evening we opened our doors to the community for another fascinating presentation. The skies cleared and we were treated to a magnificent celestial display through the huge telescopes.
Thank you to Mrs Courtney for arranging such a brilliant day and to Ross and Becks from UK Astronomy.

Visit by the New Mozart Orchestra
Tue 15 Oct 2019We were delighted to welcome members of the New Mozart Orchestra to our school this morning. They told us the story of Hansel and Gretel through the beautiful music by Engelbert Humperdinck and words read by a narrator. Our pupils had learnt the words to Hansel and Gretel's Dance and sang with the orchestra accompanied by Theo on the piano.
Clive Fairbairn, the orchestra's conductor, also took time to introduce each section of the orchestra to the audience with individual artists talking about their instrument and demonstrating the sound and range.
We were pleased to welcome parents and members of the village to share this very special event.
