On Wednesday we had our Christmas lunch at The Polygon. Lunch was prepared by staff and the boys sat in their tutor groups opening their presents from Santa and reading all of their cards until lunch was ready. Santa this year was an ex-pupil who had left in July so we were all so pleased to see him and grateful that he came in and helped us out.
Happy Christmas to you all from 3JG!🎄🎅🎁
Mr Harvey and the MoHo Team worked really hard on some improvements at the allotment this term in preparation for the cold and rainy months ahead. After clearing and moving some things around we decided to build a shelter.
Many of the pupils got involved with helping to prepare the space and build the shelter, which now makes the allotment weather friendly all year round!
This week and next we will be baking Christmas themed items in cookery lessons, activities and after school club. Here are some of 3DRB’s wonderful creations-I think “Patrick Star” from SpongeBob is super cool!
Last week we put the Christmas tree up in 3JG. The boys really enjoyed doing this, and so did Mr.Raph! Next week we will have our Christmas lunch and annual game of Deal or no Deal so keep an eye on our blogs!
Our school dog Finn is a very much loved, and huge part of The Polygon. I think I can safely say that all the boys and staff love having him around. He is so well behaved in lessons and when being walked at break and lunchtime, and has a very calming effect on the pupils.
We love you Finny and wanted to show you our appreciation for your hard work everyday!
Yesterday 4CM tried cheese tasting in their cookery lesson. As you can see from the first 3 photos-the blue cheese did not go down well! However, we were very impressed at the boys willingness to try new things. Well done boys!
In conjunction with the 'Wetwheels' charity based in Hamble, 6 lucky pupils took to the Solent last Thursday in the hunt for some fish. Pupils showed good resilience as they braved the cold weather and tried their hand at a new activity.
The largest fish onboard was the eel, we had two of these wiggly, slippery fish. These fish can grow over a metre long! Eels are now on the endangered species list and therefore also returned to the sea.
Well done to all the boys for showing great resilience on what was a cold and bumpy day. You would have not guessed that they had not fished before, and by the end of the session some were even baiting up their own lines. Thankyou 'Wetwheels' for giving us such a great experience.
