Worst Joke of the Month!
What do
Giraffes have that no other animal has?
BABY GIRAFFES!!!

On Monday the 4th of October four pupils went to the 4th ‘ Hampshire peer mentoring Conference’ at INTECH Winchester.
The conference held workshops from Healthy Eating to Emotional Well-being. There were six workshops in all taking place over three hours. Games, Songs and even a short play were used during the workshops, and were highly enjoyed.
Each attendant got a folder in the colour of their group, which had everything that he/she would need through out the day. Including a pencil, pen and a ruler. Each of them had a name badge with their name and school typed on it.
The children also had a free lunch included which contained a sandwich of either Tuna fish, Cheese or Ham with a yoghurt, an apple or banana and a fruit bar.
During the lunch hour the visitors got to look around the INTECH exhibits.
This day was very highly praised, one girl even quoted “Wow, this has been the best day of my whole eleven years!”

Topic information

In our school we have Topics like Victorians, Tudors, Egyptians, St. Lucia and lot’s, lot’s more.
In the upper school our topic at the moment is about St. Lucia, and in fact the myth that Christopher Columbus discovered St. Lucia is actually fake.
In the lower school at the moment they are learning about the Victorians.
The Victorians played lot’s of marble games, mainly the one where you’ve got to try and hit the target with your marble.
Charles Dickens was one of the most popular Victorian authors. Charles Dickens was born in 1812 into a poor family.
At the age of 12 he

he was sent to work in a boot-polish factory.
Many of his novels such as Oliver Twist and Little Nell describe the hardship of childhood and Victorian working-class life.

Bring in the Harvest

on October the 8th Liss Junior School held their Harvest Festival at St Mary’s Church, West Liss. Each class had a contribution to make and they ranged from plays to raps.
This year’s harvest festival collection was a donation to Liss Help The Homeless. The children collected bedding, toiletries and dog food as many homeless persons have dogs.
Liss Help The Homeless is about looking after people less fortunate than ourselves. So once a month Reverend John Pinder and a group of people around the village go up to London in a minibus and give bedding, Toiletries, ect, to homeless people.
All week the children have been practicing their singing for the harvest festival and I think it paid off because one lady said
“ It is the best singing I have heard in quite a while! ”
