Dear Parents and Carers,
Harvest Festival
Sports Day 2015
A special Thank You to Mr Colin Duncan for
organising his 20th Sport Day event at Two
Boats School on his Birthday!
This day was a real success full of fun and
laughter and it could not have been possible
to organise without Mrs Angela Yon and the
support of the team of Two Boats School
staff, the parents and community volunteers,
and the young people of course!
The food sale led by Ms Carolyn Yon and her
family made £496!
The
Elliott
House
won
this
year!
Thank you to Miss Tompsett and the Primary
sector team of teachers for organising our
Assembly last Friday.
The Highlight of the event was the song “Only
one world!”
Dr Bill Hardy was our special guest for
harvest this year, he spoke to us about
different fruit used in the bible at different
times and he then shared with us the
meaning of Harvest in the Christian Faith.
Thank you to everybody who contributed in
the generous donations received for Harvest
by the school.
The food has been packed by volunteers and
it is now ready to go on the ship this Sunday
to reach elderly people in Saint Helena!
Congratulations to all who took part in the
day!
Learning together, Success forever

equipment and imagining what it would have
been like to live in the fort!
Primary Assembly
Assemblies will take place on Tuesday
morning for the Primary Sector until the end
of term.
Bicentenary Exhibition
Primary pupils have been working hard on
presentation work for their bicentenary
exhibition at the museum. Parents are invited
to attend this exhibition on Monday 19th
October at 6pm. This work has involved
several visits for the pupils to explore the
island’s history. Thank you to their teachers
for making the most of this opportunity and
the extra effort it has taken to organise these
visits.
Author visit
For our school assembly on Friday 2nd
October, we were blessed to be joined by
author and journalist Duff Hart-Davis. He
talked to us about being an author, writing
stories and answered our questions on the
history of Ascension.
World Maths Day
World Maths Day this year takes place on
14th October, during our half term holiday.
Children are invited to participate in this
online game on this day. School will be open
from 9am – 2pm just for children to come up

available, but if children are here over lunch
time, they should bring a packed lunch with
them.
