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.

Our talented Year 5 pupils created a stunning poppy display for Remembrance in their DT lessons, using scroll saws and plastics ovens to craft 3D poppies from Foamalux. A big thank you to Mrs. Manley for completing the display with a beautiful dove. #Feltonfleet #FeltonfleetCreativeArts #remembranceday #lestweforget

We will remember them. This year’s remembrance service at Feltonfleet was particularly moving, with a visit from the niece of one of Feltonfleet’s fallen, reminding us of the personal stories and legacies behind each name. Our Heads and Deputy Heads of School led the commemoration, sharing insights from their visit to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where Veterans shared what remembrance means to them. Today, and always, we remember with gratitude and pride. #remembranceday #lestweforget #Feltonfleet #armisticeday @royalhospitalchelsea

Huge congratulations to our U13 girls for an amazing day at the @iapsuk National Finals at @juniorkingssch this week! From the first whistle, the girls truly embodied our core values of honesty, kindness, respect, and responsibility, both on and off the pitch. Their dedication and sportsmanship earned the admiration of coaches and spectators alike, and we couldn’t be prouder! After some phenomenal hockey, the team secured a spot in the National Finals later this month. We’re all so excited to cheer you on! 🏑🏆 #FeltonfleetSport #FeltonfleetRespect #FeltonfleetKindness #FeltonfleetHonesty #FeltonfleetResponsibility #FeltonfleetDestination13 @iapsuksport
