On Saturday, following a morning of sporting activities with Mr Mathias, our boarders have chosen their own activities and will be heading o� to the woods for outdoor activities and then inside to warm up for board games, hide and seek and card games.

Sunday the children will be wrapping up before heading o� for a trip to � e Alpine Snow Centre in Southampton for some fun on the doughnuts and then into West Quay for a shopping spree.

Please see the notice board outside Pre-Prep for information on our new pick up arrangements. From Monday 30th January all children in Reception, Year 1, 2 and 3 will remain in Pre-Prep until 4pm. If you are collecting your children between 3.30pm and 4pm please do so from the following classrooms:

Year 7 have been working with Mr Polansky in Mathematics on a card matching activity to identify inverse relationships when calculating increases and/or decreases using fractions, percentages and decimals. For example, did you know that to undo (reverse) an increase of one fi fth you need a decrease of one sixth; to undo an increase of one sixth you need a decrease of one seventh?

SENIOR SCHOOL OPEN EVENING � ursday 2nd March, 4pm to 6pm.

Following on from the great success of our � rst Year 9 GCSE Options evening, that took place in September, we will be holding

a further open event for all Boundary Oak pupils and parents, currently in Year 6 to 8.

� roughout the evening you will have the opportunity to speak to our Senior school teachers, asking them any question you may

have on the GCSE curriculum, as well as look around our range of GCSE subjects and what each subjects entails. � e subject choice

may be expanded as we grow.

A BIG thank-you to all the children that have donated their favourite books to the School Library so far. It is very much appreciated and we have loved receiving

your books!

We’re all looking forward to what will be arriving next week! Don’t forget that each pupil that donates a book will receive a certi� cate and a show up for your participation. I’m curious.... just what will you be kind

enough to donate?
