WELL DONE!

A massive thank you and congratulations to

Year 2 who raised an amazing £2,695 for

the school with their Door2Door Relay

Challenge last Saturday. The families really

got behind the event with 38 children

taking part, as well as various siblings! The

children had a great time running, scooting and cycling around Molesey and seeing all

their friends again. A video montage of the day has kindly been prepared by Sophie and

Gareth Britton, which you can view via our school website: https://youtu.be/aiPqMO6e7CY

Our thanks go to Jeremy and Louise Duffy for arranging this event.

Well Done!

HOME LEARNING SUPERSTAR

A huge well done to Zach in 5H who has completed the Geography task set

by Mrs Laher. Zach has written a carefully planned trip to Alaska. We are

super proud of you! Keep up the wonderful learning that you are doing at

home. 10 house points from Mrs Laher on return!

MY TRIP TO ALASKA!!! BY ZACH

We are planning to visit Anchorage and Denali State

Park in Alaska. I’m planning to take my mum, my sister,

my dad and 2 of my friends. We need to get a direct

plane from London Heathrow Airport to get to

Anchorage and stay there for one week. We will be

staying at the Hotel Alyeska. When we are at this hotel,

we want to go on some coastal trails, hike, go on some

bike rides, see some wildlife, try and spot some bears

hunting and swim in the goose river and the jewel river.

Then, we’re going to get the train from Anchorage to

the Denali State Park and stay at a hotel there. There

we’re going to go on some tours, do some hiking and

wildlife watching. Hopefully, we see the iconic Black

bears, Grizzly bears, wolves and caribou!!!!!!

As it will be summer there and quite warm, we are

going to need mosquito repellent, sun cream, hiking

shoes, water proof jacket and fleeces as well as shorts,

T- shirts, trainers, sliders and swimming costumes.
