Our trendy Year 6 children put on a fashion show, describing their outfits in Spanish. Muy bien!

Today the ECO council were invited to represent St Polycarp's at the Jubilee Tree Planting event in the town centre. We listened the Mayor, helped plant a special tree to mark the Platinum Jubilee and took some photos. The idea was to create a canopy of trees.

During February, Year 1 undertook a sponsored read to raise funds for Helen Arkell dyslexia centre. We read lots of books and raised nearly £500 in 2 weeks. 'Teddy Arkell' came to collect the money himself. We're so proud of the fundraising the children did and the efforts that Year 1 went to.

There is a Candlelit Vigil tonight in Gostrey Meadow - churches together in Farnham standing in solidarity for peace in Ukraine.
