Pret-a-Portrait visited school today to take individual and sibling photos of all Prae Wood pupils.

The sessions ran smoothly with all the children giving their best smiles and supporting their friends and siblings, especially if they felt a bit nervous.

Session cards will be sent home this week and will include instructions on how to order photos, should you wish to do so

A busy half term of fixtures concluded with a home fixture against Wheatfields for the B team.

Despite conceding early, Prae Wood put in a spirited performance putting into practice aspects we had been focussing on in training. Numerous efforts came to nothing until Xander broke the deadlock. A further goal from Xander and a third from Player of the Match, Tom, resulted in a 3-1 victory. It was a great game played in front of a very appreciative and supportive crowd. What a great way to end the half term.

Eco Warrior visit to Verulamium Park and Grebe House

The Eco Warriors recently visited Verulamium Park and created a dead wood pile for larger creatures to shelter in, such as hedgehogs, and smaller insects to inhabit. They learned about 'wild' hedges and the issue of cutting hedges around the park. They discussed the importance of creating Wildflower Meadows and talked about how they were going to develop our own school one further.

They then went on to Grebe House, Wildlife Garden and saw the many measures the volunteers had taken to support local wildlife, including the pond, composting areas and the creation of wildlife areas to encourage pollinators. After heading back to school, the children all made a bird feeder to take home!

A huge thank you to all the children and parents who attended the Eco Working party last week after school. They tirelessly worked to clear the planters and plant new broad bean, cauliflower and pakchoi seeds. A new compost bin has now been created by Mr Witter and some helpers, which looks fantastic; some children and parents tidied some of the planters and planted new bulbs, another group worked on supporting our saplings with stakes and another group cleared the mini pond area and filled the water up. We also created a new dead wood pile for wildlife to inhabit! During the next working party, on Thursday 20th November, we will be creating some new 'willow' edging for our Wildflower Meadow.
