Well done to Ryan and Jack who were both winners in the Reigart Poetry Competition. Their poems were published within the anthology and they attended a reception to share their work and receive a certificate and a copy of the book. Keep up the marvellous writing boys.
We were all excited to taste different types of fruit which are grown in Jamaica. We tasted banana, pomegranate, papaya, passion fruit and mango. We used a table to record a description of each fruit and give it a rating out of ten. As you can see from our pictures, they were all very sweet and delicious!
Well done to all the boys and girls who participated in our sports afternoon. It was great fun and the sun shone for us too! A big congratulations to Clyde House who were the overall winners.
