Lots of Fun with our Favourite Characters from Books

Back to News
Posted on: November 29th 2017

The school was buzzing on Friday 24th November, with our exciting Charity Readathon, organised by our Charity Committee.

Pupils and staff were invited to dress up as their favourite book character and send in a donation to raise money for our school charity, Feed and Read. An amazing £1100 was raised for this excellent charity, which is run by our Head Groundsman, John Vaughan-Davies and his brother, to help people in Africa who are not as fortunate as ourselves.

The school was ablaze with colour as we spotted all sorts of fantastic characters and imaginative outfits. The Headmaster came as Danny the Champion of the World, the Junior Staff dressed up as Where’s Wally, and our Head of Pre-Prep looked spectacular as Fiona from Shrek, alongside Miss Bray who dressed up as Shrek!

In the afternoon, pupils read, either by themselves, or the older pupils listened to and helped the younger pupils read.

All in all, it was an enjoyable and fun day and a fantastic effort to raise money for this great charity, which aims to relieve poverty in Africa by providing education and training in small scale agricultural production to enable individuals to generate a sustainable income, food security, job creation and skills development and be self-sufficient.

Reception pupils had a blast exploring coding principles in their Digital Learning lessons! Using remote control cars, they learned about sequencing, directional control, and problem-solving - then put their skills to the test by designing tricky bridges to navigate. #FeltonfleetPrePrep #FeltonfleetDigitalLearning

The Upper School ski trip is a true rite of passage for our pupils as they edge closer to Destination 13, the pinnacle of their Feltonfleet journey. This winter, Alpendorf’s pristine slopes set the stage for a week of skiing, schnitzels, and snow-filled adventures. The pupils embraced every moment with enthusiasm and camaraderie - we're so proud for their spirit and impeccable conduct! ⛷️ Huge thanks to the team at @snowslippers_ who helped to ensure we all had an amazing trip. #FeltonfleetDestination13 #FeltonfleetCrossCurricularLearning

Did you know that today is National Bubble Bath Day? As we embark on a new year, this day aligns perfectly with health and wellness resolutions, emphasising the importance of taking time for oneself, especially after the busy holiday season.
