Happy JUNE Birthday
to: Freya Clapton,
Ella Gravett, Alice Hindmarch, Maya Jacobs, Ivy Odell, Casey Price and Ellie
Wiggins.
During JUNE we are
focusing on the core value of HONESTY
Big Science Event
The Big Science Event is a competition open
to all primary schools in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire; it has been run
since 2010. Children within their schools have the opportunity to develop their
own child led science investigations. Having devised their investigation they
then have the chance to carry it out; thinking carefully about the procedure,
fair testing and their conclusions. At Stadhampton all children in Class 3 were
able to take part. Once the investigations were complete, they presented their
findings and a winning school team was selected. Bigger schools are able to
select more than one team, some even two.
A judge from the Big Science Event came to
school to watch our team do their presentation. The judges then got together to
choose who out of the 120 teams from 73 schools would go through to the final
10. We are very pleased to announce that our team were successful, getting
through to the final to be held later in the term.
Congratulations to everyone in the team:
Tende, Isabella, Tillie, Juliana and Ella. The judge who came to the school was
extremely impressed with their presentation saying ‘you gave a very polished
presentation, easily the best I’ve seen so far’. He was also impressed with how
well the group worked together and how well thought through their investigation
was.

Woodlands
Residential Visit
A huge thank you to everyone who has paid
in full for the Class 3 residential visit to Woodlands. There are a very small
number of outstanding balances which we would appreciate payment for at the
earliest opportunity. Thank you. We are pleased to confirm that Mrs Scragg and
Sally Clark, who used to attend this school and is now a student with
experience of working as a TA at a local school, will be accompanying the
visit. We do hope that Miss Raval will be well enough to also accompany the
trip and will advise what the arrangements will be if this is not possible once
we receive more information from Miss Raval.
Congratulations
We always like to hear how our past
students are progressing and would like to congratulate ex-Stadhampton students
who have been given roles of responsibility at Icknield Community College in
the next academic year: Head Girl
Orla Fernie; Senior Prefects: Jake
Day, Bryce Dobson, Georgia Valentine. Prefects:
Matt Ellis, Annabel Roe, Hannah Tombling. Congratulations to you all.
