I'm sure many of you will be happy to know that we have also been sent the finishing positions! Please [click here] to see this. Please note that these were recorded manually by volunteers and, unfortunately, some race numbers were not visible to be recorded. This is something that is being looked into developing for next year, depending on entry numbers.

Thank you for your support and, once again, Well done!

Run 4 School - Wow!!!

What a fantastic day we had!

 Hundreds of children and adults turned out to battle the blazing heat and sunshine in Sutton Park last Sunday (9th July) to take part in our Fun Run, raising money for their school and the Norman Laud Association. 

Our Whitehouse Common runners looked fantastic in their green t-shirts and it really made a difference to see us all as one a big team - a huge thank you to our sponsors Ian George and Carrie Gibson of Principal Business Solutions, and Ellis and Bridget Boughton of Four Oaks School of Soccor. A big thank you, also, to Daniel from Principal Business Solutions who came along to support us on the day (pictured in the team photo).

Whitehouse Common were extremely well respresented with over 100 entrants - not bad to say it was our first year!

I was incredibly proud of all our children who showed amazing perseverance throughout the very challenging course and gave it that last big push as they sped past me near the finish line (the promise of ice-cream at the end maybe helping a little bit!).

A huge WELL DONE to all the children and adults who took part from all four schools - you were all amazing! 

I am very much looking forward to next year already - I even think we could get to the 200 entrants mark!

We Will Rock You!

A huge well done to Year 6 for all their hard work preparing for our production. Go for it tonight and tomorrow kids, show them what you're made of! Miss Jonhston and I are very proud of you.

Microorganism surprises!

Year 5 have been lucky enough to have visitng Science Teachers from Arthur Terry who brought along some microscopes for us to explore microorganisms with. In the first session, we looked at different plates containing things like tea bags, hair, intestine and kidneys. We then took swabs of our hands and transferred them onto special jelly in petri dishes, which we left for a week.

Once the week was up, we looked back at what had grown on our petri dishes - it was very interesting! We observed differnt types of growth and did some research to find out why they had certain similarities and differences.

It was very interesting, and we can certainly say that we have remembered the importance of washing our hands regularly!
