Dear Parents and Carers,
On Friday 30th October, Ms Cinthia Llas
Community Forests Coordinator and Mr
Lourence Malan, Cloud Forest Project
Manager from Saint Helena came to Two
Boats School and explained to us how their
projects are a Darwin Initiative, run by St
Helena’s National Trust. They used a Power
Point Presentation to show us what the island
used to look like and what it looks like now
after the restoration work. We learned a lot
about the millennium Forest, the endemic
plants and the associated vertebras that need
protection. There are no land crabs on Saint
Helena, and no wild donkeys… but the
conservation teams are using fences to stop
rabbits and sheep from eating the protected
species as best as possible. Cinthia and
Lourence are keen free divers and they
enjoyed the amazing wild life and various
species of fish that Ascension has to offer.
During their time here, they also visited their
friend Stedson and went up to Green
Mountain to help him with the vital work that
the Ascension conservation team is
undertaking at present.

Secondary Maths
Miss Tompsett will be in the UK for a week
from 9th November. Year 7 and 9 students
will therefore have some additional maths the
week before and after this during their French
lessons; in the week that Miss Tompsett is
away, they will catch up with the French in
their maths time. Hopefully, this will ensure
that there is no disruption to the maths
curriculum for these students. Please let us
know if you would like any further clarification
of these arrangements.
World Maths Day
Certificates were handed out by Miss
Tompsett last Friday for those who took part
in the special event during the half-term
holidays.
Armistice Assembly
There will be a whole school
Assembly at 11 am to
commemorate the event.
RBL Poppy Appeal
We have Poppies available at
the School for anyone wishing to
wear one. All donations will go to The Royal
British Legion.

A special thank you to Miss Carolyn Yon who
organised a very special baking session last
Friday. Students in the secondary
Department came home with lovely treats to
share with their family!
