• HASTINGS SIERRA LEONE FRIENDSHIP LINK CHRISTMAS AUCTION

  Mon 07 Dec 2020

  HASTINGS SIERRA LEONE FRIENDSHIP LINK.

   

  As many of you know, earlier this year I travelled to Sierra Leone as part of our ‘Hastings Sierra Leone Friendship Link’ we have here at Christ Church. Like many things, fundraising has been hit and come to a standstill this year due to Covid. Therefore, the link has put together an online auction to try to raise some much needed funds. All schools locally have donated prizes to the auction to support and hopefully raise money for our friends. The Link has two big projects underway: to provide isolation and triage units for the Health Centre, and to improve the water supply (and eventually the sanitation) in all the schools. So every penny this auction raises will bring us a step closer to achieving our goals. Below is the link to the auction for anyone who is interested or after some Christmas presents.
  Happy bidding and thank you for your continued support with our global learning and friendship link.

• Ruby Stunning Starter Ancient Greece

  Wed 11 Nov 2020

  As an introduction into our new topic ‘Ancient Greece’ we had a Greek tasting morning. We were able to listen to Greek music whilst tasting new and different foods; tzatziki, feta, olives, flat bread, Greek yoghurts and couscous. The children were very brave and tried most things, some went down well some not so well.

  ‘The yoghurt was lovely even without honey’ – Riley

  ‘ I do not like olives!!’ – Toby

  ‘The couscous was amazing’ – Mollie

  The feta was lovely even with honey’ – Fiona

  ‘I recommend the honey’ – Matthew

  ‘The honey was very sweet’ – Jannah

  ‘I think the couscous was the best, I enjoyed the yoghurt and honey together, forget the rest’ -Emmanuel

  ‘I found out I really like tzatziki’ – Noah

  ‘Everything was amazing’ -Kosma

  ‘All the food was bad except from the bread, I would not have wanted to live in ancient Greece’ -Lewis
