We're In The Paper: Sam's Donkey
Sam has been donating some of his pocket money to the local animal sanctuary. Some of this money has been used to sponsor Ned the Donkey. We are very impressed with Sam's selfless use of his pocket money. Well done!
Fact Hunters: Coca Cola, Sharks & Victorian children
David Sangojinmi
In Victorian times, young children had to go into the mines and work for food. A Hurrier was a child who had to push or pull carts of coal under the ground. Sadly their maximum pay for the whole year was only 1,000 shillings. Children as young as six would have to work in the mines!

Did you know that Coca Cola isn’t really brown? They use caramel food colouring to make it look that way! When the drink was first made, it was done in unclean surroundings. The brown colour covered up any strange things in the drink.

A shark does not have one bone in its body! Instead its skeleton is made of cartilage – the stuff that’s in your nose.

A desert centipede is a venomous centipede. It can cause extreme pain with one bite! Strangely it doesn’t actually have 100 legs, just 42. Furthermore a giraffe has a kick powerful enough to kill a lion and if a starfish loses an arm, it will grow back. Although it does take about a year.

Red Nose Day @ Broadford
Don't forget you can add an item of red clothing to your school uniform tomorrow: hair clips, socks, t-shirt, hair band, jumper or anything else you can think of. The only rule is no colouring of hair or wigs!
Please wear in your red nose and bring some money for the cake sale which we will be holding at break time.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Remember £1 is the recommended donation for the Red Nose Day, but any donation is welcome.
Cakes will be no more than 50p each and the school canteen will be open as normal.
