In Focus & OB Bulletin Summer 2014
Annabel Saverimutto was used as a model in the Andrew Collinge Hair Competition for hair stylists in their first year which was held at the Liner Hotel, Liverpool, in May. Holly Williams is a hairdresser at Team4Hair in Prenton. Of the 60 entrants, judged by a panel from London, Holly was placed 14th for her elegant design. Incidentally, Paul supplied and cut the wigs for the School production of Les Misérables in March.
During the Lent term, as part of the D&T curriculum, Year 2 investigated puppets. After playing with puppets of varying sizes and colours, they had a closer look at the different puppets and made detailed drawings of their features and looked carefully at how they were made. Then came the designing process, taking great care over the finer details and expressions of the puppet. Well done to all of Year 2 who patiently sewed their puppets and added accessories to create their own unique toy! Mrs Annabelle Hendry
With the Head of Prep Mr FitzHerbert’s blessing, enterprising pupils Amy Gaskell, Isabella Heckstall-Smith and Abi Walker from Year 4 sold bracelets, posters, bookmarks and other novelty items to their friends in Prep playground during playtimes and lunchtimes one week in May. They were raising money for the charity ShelterBox. The girls learned about the work of the charity at their cub pack meetings (a part of the 20th Birkenhead Scout Group). ShelterBox provides basic survival equipment in boxes to support communities around the world which have become overwhelmed by disaster or humanitarian crises. Over the week, the trio raised the fantastic sum of £121.25 for ShelterBox!
