• FOSTA's Easter Eggstravaganza Bingo Night

  Fri 19 Apr 2024

   

  The spring term saw the return of one of our favourite events, the Easter Eggstravaganza Bingo night!  

   

  It was a huge success with parents, grandparents, carers and pupils, all enjoying a good old fashioned game of bingo.  

   

  In addition to this, there were games of 'Heads and Tails' and a raffle, with the winners walking away with a number of Easter prizes to enjoy. Every child also went home with an Easter Egg, ensuring no-one missed out.  

   

  With food on sale and a tuck shop, entry and raffle tickets, the event raised an amazing £560! Thank you so much to everyone who came, we hope you enjoyed yourselves.

   

  The night wouldn't have been possible without the generosity of our St Andrew's family, supporting the event with donations of Easter Eggs, thank you, we are extremely grateful.  

   

  Thank you also to the teachers, parents and FOSTA's team who volunteered on the night."

  Year 2 had a visit from Aqua Explorer UK today, to introduce their new Science topic this term which is ‘Habitats’. They explored a unique rock pool habitat and its species including mussels, crabs and starfish. They held some creatures that live in a rock pool and learnt a lot of interesting facts. It was an amazing experience!

  Tue 10 Oct 2023 Miss McGowan

  Today KS2 celebrated Spanish Day.

  Here at St. Andrew's we love our weekly Spanish lessons and today we got to learn a little more about the culture and food of Spain. We had a special visitor from a Spanish teacher who taught us some new words and phrases and were lucky enough to try some typically Spanish foods such as chorizo, olives and Spanish omelette.

   

   

  ¡feliz día español!
