A Busy Week

Last week was a busy week for S.O.N. We had our first meeting with our parents, Faith + Football and EBP, where we received our basic itinerary for the trip to Goa in November. We learnt about how we will be visiting a boys and girls orphanage, a handicapped school, as well as visiting an old peoples home and feeding the poor.
We also talked about what vaccinations we needed having, and asking questions in general about the holiday, such as food we would be eating and money we needed taking with us.

Throughout last week, we we planning our sponsored walk we would be undertaking, in order to raise more money for when we go to India. We have decided that we are going to go to Brecon Beacons for this walk, and have almost come to the decision of the route we will be doing. We do know that it will be around 20km, and will be going for 2 days in August, during our summer holidays. Our teacher, Mr Rogers, is familiar with the area, and has given us suggestion for possible route to do.

As well as all this, we also all received awards on Thursday on our school's Awards Evening, where we were talked about to the other students and their parents, and how much effort and commitment we put into the challenge. When it came to going on the stage, we got an amazing applause, showing how much all our work was recognised.
Finally, we had a photo shoot with the photographer for the evening, of both us five, and us with our headteacher and Head of Governors.
