Churcher’s College
YEAR 4 VISIT THE WINCHESTER SCIENCE CENTRE
Children enjoy field days as part of the science curriculum and
great fun was had by all at the Winchester Science Centre.
On Tuesday 9th June, children from Year 4 at Churcher’s College
Junior school ventured to Winchester for a day of scientific
exploration at the Winchester Science Centre. The centre, which
features over 100 hands on exhibits, was thoroughly enjoyed by
all of the children. The stand out exhibit by far was the 10 metre
sprint track where some very competitive children (and teachers!)
kept returning time and time again to try to beat the record for
fastest time. Those that weren’t as taken with the Science of
Sport were drawn towards Mindball, a game where your powers
of relaxation and concentration could lead to scoring goals
by monitoring your brain activity. Overall the children had a
fantastic day with lots of valuable experience gained. Thoroughly
recommended for all!
‘PIRATES!’ ARRIVE AT CHURCHER’S COLLEGE JUNIOR SCHOOL!
Year 3 performed to an enthralled audience at the annual
Churcher's College Junior School Open Day.
On Open Day the Year Three's production called 'Pirates! With
Molly on Board' went down a storm!
The play was about Captain Blackbeard and his fearless pirates
who have to clean their ship as Molly; Blackbeard's cleaning
fanatic wife comes on a voyage to oversee them. Thus breaking
the age-old sea law “No women on board – they bring bad luck”.
On the day the cast were word perfect, acting and singing in
character with the audience showing their appreciation by
asking for an encore. Our lead roles went to Isaac Wetzel who
was a fantastic Blackbeard and Annabelle King as his very bossy
wife who eventually got her diamonds from some friendly
islanders. The other key role was played by Eddie Lewis as the
chief of the peace- loving island dwellers.
Class teacher Sarah- Jane Moore said she was very proud of
everyone for really giving their all and producing a play of such
quality. “ Not only did they act amazingly but they looked
fantastic too. We were all transported to that amazing topical
island. Thank you year 3”.
PUPILS GO “WILD”
FOR CHARITY
Children at Churcher's College Junior
School went "wild" last week as part of a
fundraising event for charity WWF (World
Wide Fund for Nature).The pupils donned
animal onesies, painted their faces and
wore an array of animal print clothing to
raise funds in support of the charity's
national “wear it wild” campaign.
Undoubtedly the highlight of the day was
the opportunity to throw wet sponges at
teachers, including headmaster Ian
Adams, who had bravely volunteered to
take their turn in the stocks. A thoroughly
enjoyable and successful fundraising event
organised by the school council saw them
raise £481.65.
