The children have been busy filling and wrapping shoe boxes for the Rotary District 1110 Shoebox Scheme - 2009 run by the Romsey Test Rotary Club. Two-thirds of all boxes collected end up

- Matty, George and Samuel beat fierce opposition to become BBC Bamzooki champions! You can share their experience when Bamzooki returns to CBBC in November. The boys had to use the new upgraded Bamzooki kit and created such a phenomenal zook it beat all the other teams! Also watch out for them during Blue Peter who were filming 'behind the scenes of Bamzooki' footage. Well done to all three boys, and commiserations to the girls team whose Zook put up a good fight but were beaten by stronger opposition. We hope to have the boys visit the school with their trophy and let us know about their BBC experience.
