 To those of you who were present at the recent Moulin Rouge Ball may I extend a very big vote of thanks. Whilst we are still working hard to establish our final total, it appears that the event raised in excess of £11.5K to be put towards our present target of securing the funds necessary to resurface the school's netball and tennis courts. Not only was the event a resounding success in financial terms but the feedback we have received suggests that those who attended enjoyed a spectacular, fun filled and memorable night. | ||

 Our trip to Hamelin was such fun! We spent a couple of days in May in the historic town of Hamelin in Germany to meet up with our German pen pals. For the past year we had been writing letters to our pen pals in Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium and now we were very excited to meet them for the first time. Our pen pals had chosen a nice ice cream parlour to “break the ice” and from there we went to explore the legend of the Pied Piper and followed the “rat trail” through the picturesque centre of Hamelin. | ||

 The first half of term, and assessment week, ended in fine style with an inter-house rounders competition. Each house fielded two teams, composed of Year 5s and 6s, with a smattering of Year 4s, for this round-robin tournament. Many of the matches were very closely fought, but the eventual winners, on an aggregate of points from both teams, were St Chantal. | ||

 On 2nd June, Year 6 went to France. We all had a wonderful time going to lots of new places and had lots of new experiences. During the week, we went to St Valery, an historic town at the mouth of the Somme, Amiens and its cathedral, Le Touquet, a French market town, a chocolate factory and a goat farm. We also did some water sports, such as kayaking and raft building. All these activities were great, but my favourite was the tour of Rue and the quiz about it. Château du Broutel, where we were staying was really nice and friendly. | ||

 On 5th June Annabelle, Grace, Josh and Matthew (Y5) went to Portsmouth Cathedral for the Good Shepherd Appeal Mass. We left at half past nine with Mrs Bird. When we got there we went into the Cathedral and sat down, then Josh and Matthew got up and joined the procession of banners. Near the end of the mass, Annabelle and Grace went up to give the Bishop the check for over £2000. Start: 14:00

 Nursery and Pre Prep hosted their annual Teddy Bears' Picnic to welcome some of our new children (and their bears) due to join us next year. Approx 60 bears, 55 children, 25 parents and staff enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in the glorious sunshine. The afternoon started with a bear hunt through the woods followed by story time, several songs, and ended with a wonderful tea party. Many thanks to all the parents for providing such a superb tea; it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. | ||

 In the ISA regionals Francesca, India Abi and I, and our mums all went up to Eton, for one or two races. When we arrived there it was extraordinarally big. We all waited for 2,3 or possibly 4 hours! Abi ran 600 meters and came first! All of our Mums packed a huge lunch, we barely ate any. We borrowed some money to go and buy some chips, they were delicious!!! Then I did my ball throw, I came 8th out of 11, but two got disqualified. Year 5 also took part in the Regionals. Then an hour after the ball throw Abi, India, Francesca and I all did a relay it was fantastic but scary. When the man shot the pistol that looked like a gun, I sprinted as fast as I could. When I passed the baton to India I got nervous that I would drop it but I didn't. India also sprinted as fast as she could until Francesca overtook people like India and I did. When Francesca passed to Abi she was phenomenal. At the end we won all of our races. We were all proud of ourselves and so were our Mums. A couple of days later we received our medals in assembly and Abi received two. We enjoyed it very much and we hope we can have another experience like that again. Start: 10:00

 The whole of Year 3 went to Sainsburys Supermarket in Alton. We went there because in science we are learning about healthy eating. When we got there, Debby and Anne took us up the meeting room. We had to go through the warehouse to get up there! In the meeting room we tried six different fruits; they were mango, melon, strawberry, grape, pineapple and kiwi. My favourite was the red grape. The we went to see John at the meet counter and looked at the meat. After that we went to look at the fish. I held the fish: I stuck my finger in its mouth - its tongue felt like sandpaper! The we did a quiz and got to take a banana. | ||

 The Bronze expedition season was completed successfully. The 2007/8 Bronze D of E year ended on a note of success, when six IV Form girls completed their final navigation assessment.

 On Saturday 7 June, 34 members of the Prep and Senior Choirs gathered in Alton Public gardens for the launch of the Alton Greening campaign. It was a perfect sunny day and the audience were treated to songs with an environmental message, including the entertaining ‘Environment Round’ – the message conveyed even clearer with the aid of some props! Hannah, Amy, Rebecca and Evie also provided solo numbers in between useful advice from the MC on how we can all save energy by doing a few simple th | ||

 On 8th June 2008 Lucy, Eleanor and I made our First Holy Communion. We all had a great time and the weather was sunny. All the First Holy Communion children, their families and close friends came to watch and celebrate us making our First Holy Communion. We have been having lessons since last September about the importance of receiving Holy Communion and the Lord’s life. Mrs Bothwell was there to lead the Choir and Mrs Bird and Mrs Matthews were Eucharistic Ministers. At the end there was a big cake and we all had a slice – it was delicious! As you can see from the picture the girls wore beautiful white dresses. The boys looked very smart in their red ties and sashes. The following Sunday we all get to dress up again to receive a certificate. | ||
