News from the SRC…….

RSPCA Fundraiser Day/ End of Term Rewards Day

In addition to Stewart House, the SRC at the

commencement of the year chose the RSPCA to be their

second charity for this year. To raise our donation, the

SRC have planned the following:

Animal Photo Competition.

Entry cost : Gold Coin

Rules: Students must take a photo of an animal (it can be a

pet, in the wild or in a zoo or sanctuary). It must be the

student’s own work.

SRC members are eligible to enter.

The photo must be original- not copied from a magazine,

book or the internet. The photo must be printed off.

Maximum size is A4.

Entries must be accompanied by a short neatly written or

typed description of the photographer’s name, the device

used to take the photo, and information on where and when

the photo was taken. The quality of your description

may be taken into account when judging the winner.

Year 3 and Year 4 students who are going to Zoo Snooz

may be able to capture a great shot there!

A winner will be announced for each stage- ES1, S1,

S2,S3.

Closing date for entries is 2.00 pm Wednesday 21st

September. Prize winning photographer Ms Parsonage

will be the judge.

End of Term Rewards Day- 23rd September

Advanced Notice : Students eligible for Rewards Day

can come dressed as an animal and are asked to bring a

gold coin donation. It might be as simple as adding

some whiskers and a tail! Use your imagination, but you

will need to be able to still move freely to participate

in games and activities. The SRC members are planning

six fun activities based on an animal theme. Students

will rotate in groups to complete each of the activities.
