Help the aged/Age concern

On Friday morning in our weekly assembly we had a quest speaker Mr Tony Aldous, who is the Press and Publicity Officer of Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva. He gave us a very interesting talk on the support the organization gives to older people living in this area. They raise funds in various ways to pay for the work they do in the community. Mr Aldous told us about the shop that the charity has in Estepona where people bring in clothes and things they no longer want or need. We agreed with Mr Aldous that we would be happy to receive any bags of unwanted/unused

clothes which could be sold in the Age Concern shop. If you would like to bring any bags into school by Friday 14th May we will ensure that they are collected and taken through to Estepona. I am off to have a real tidy up in my apartment this week!! Susan Stark

Year 2 trip to Castellar Zoo

Last Tuesday 27th April Year 2 spent the whole day at the fabulous zoo in Castellar, which we had all to ourselves with two expert guides. The tour started with the zoo biologist bringing out a 9 month old tiger cub for everyone to stroke. We were expecting a little baby tiger but he was up to the children’s shoulders!!

After that we split up into 2 groups with our guides and were introduced to spitting llamas and racing emus - which Alex nearly got to ride. We got to feed monkeys, baboons, lemurs, peacocks, chickens and much more.

After a picnic lunch with a crocodile just the other side of a piece of glass, we set off again to meet vultures, porcupines but I wasn’t so keen on the Madagascan cockroach. One moment I will never forget was when the biologist brought out an albino python which Nicolas’ mum bravely had placed around her neck. Miss Jenni and myself needed a little more persuasion but we did it!

One of the loveliest parts of the day for the children was when they all got to go inside the rabbit enclosure, where they could pick up the rabbits and tortoises and meet the iguanas, peacocks and doves. Finally we made our way to the adventure playground to run off our excitement.

At least 5 or 6 of the children slept all the way back to school after such a busy day. Back at school I was proud to tell them that the zoo biologist said they were some of the best behaved children he’d ever met!
