Tennis is Thriving at St Ives

Some regard tennis as a Summer sport.  Not us at St Ives!  We play all year round and love doing so.  In fact, tennis here is so popular that 85% of school pupils have weekly lessons, led by our wonderful resident coach, Julia Bowker.  Thank you Julia - your passion and talent for tennis is rubbing off on all of us!

Year 1 and 2 Science

The Pre-Prep department has got off to a cracking start this term - Year 1 had an 'eggcellent' Science lesson, looking at eggs for their new topic 'Out of Eggs'. The children studied the eggs appearance outside before cracking them and noticing how different they are inside. Year 2 also started a new Science topic, exploring plants. They set up an experiment to investigate what plants need in order to grow. They also planted their own seeds to kick off the '2024 Bean Growing Contest'!

Reindeer Run in aid of Phyllis Tuckwell

What a beautiful morning for our annual Reindeer Run in aid of Phyllis Tuckwell.  Donning our festive headgear, we braved our slippery slopes and muddy paths and loved our jaunt around the grounds in the rarely-seen-recently Winter sun.  A perfect way to finish off a busy term and to wish everyone in our community a very Happy Christmas!

Wellbeing Club Decorate Christmas Tree

There can't be many things better for your wellbeing than decorating a Christmas tree, as our Wellbeing Club found out this week.  It was lovely and relaxing, leaving us all feeling very Christmassy.  Once the tree was finished, we enjoyed a guided meditation about creating a tree house.  Whilst we listened to the meditation, we all drew our own dream tree house.  What a positive end to this wonderful After School Club.

St Ives Decorates The Coppa Club Christmas Windows

Thank you to the Coppa Club for allowing us to decorate their Christmas windows. Every child from Years 3-6 has loved taking part in this exciting project and we're delighted to see how pretty they look by day and night. We really look forward to welcoming our parents and pupils at the Coppa Club on Thursday afternoon between 4 & 5.30pm where they can admire the pupils' work and enjoy some mulled wine and hot chocolate. Thank you too to The Haslemere Parish for coming up with the idea for this wonderful festive community initiative.

Year 5 Geography

In Geography, Year 5 have been learning about how mountains are formed.  As part of this, they learnt about volcanoes in class and drew on their knowledge from their Natural History Museum workshop from a few weeks ago too.  This week they enjoyed constructing a volcano and then making it explode to see how volcanoes erupt and build up over time.

Project Goblin

A very special thank you to Wayne Robertson from B and C Coachworks in Haslemere for helping us kick start our Greenpower project, by painting our Goblin G2 cars in our distinctive St Ives blue, which Wayne cleverly colour matched to our school tie!  We are thrilled with the results and the children are loving this exciting project.

Greenpower 'Goblin' cars arrive in kit form, but once built, are fully-functioning, electrically-powered racing cars!  The children are building the cars in the coming months, learning about mechanics, electrics, car control, design and livery.  At the end of the project, the children will be taking the cars to the Greenpower competition day at Goodwood, giving them the chance to test their mettle against other children in other schools in the area in a series of different racing challenges. We can't wait to get involved.
