On Wednesday, as part of their prize for winning a recent city-wide 5 a-side tournament, the boys visited Home Park and took part in a Plymouth Argyle training session at Goals. On Friday, they head off to Portsmouth to represent Argyle in the League 2 South against AFC Wimbledon, Barnet, Bristol Rovers, Cambridge, Crawley Town, Dagenham & Redbridge, Exeter City, Leyton Orient, Luton Town, Newport, Oxford Utd, Portsmouth, Stevenage, Wycombe Wanderers and Yeovil Town. Good luck boys. It's a massive achievement to make it so far and the whole school is really proud of you.

********************************** Foundation school visit to Penny Well Farm Foundation classes had a wonderful time at Pennywell Farm in the sunshine yesterday. They milked the goat, collected eggs and fed the lambs and goats with bottles of milk. There were lots of baby piglets to cuddle and small animals like mice, guinea pigs and rabbits to pet. The children learned about the food that the animals eat and how they grow. Some helped to mix the milk for the lambs and they learned how to hold their hands out flat to feed the deer and goats. Everyone was well behaved and a credit to the school. Many thanks to all our parent helpers who supported us on the trip. There will be lots of photos on the class pages coming shortly and the children will be writing about their experiences next week. ***********************************************
