• Switch Off Fortnight 28th January - 8th February

  Mon 28 Jan 2019

  The Eco Warriors did a brilliant job introducing Switch Off Fortnight in Assembly on Tuesday, explaining why it is important to save energy and how we can all help to do it. Examples we learnt about were:

   

  Switch off standby mode, wearing more layers rather than turning up the heating and turning off lights when you leave a room. We learnt that turning off a light for just a few seconds saves more energy that it takes for the light to start up again, regardless of the type of light! According to the Energy Saving Trust just doing this can save around £15 per person per year.

   

  Please ask your children what other suggestions the Eco Warriors had and for more ideas, visit www.energysavingtrust.org.uk

   

  It would be great if you could please encourage your child/ren to tell their class Eco Warrior about things your family are doing at home to save energy, so that we can acknowledge these efforts and inspire others. Thank you. Mrs May

• Easter Egg Friendship Tree

  Tue 28 Mar 2017 Rozalyn Thomson

  Great Missenden School Council visited Princes Risborough Primary School taking their Easter Egg gifts and cards as a gesture of friendship.

  The children had a wonderful morning - hanging eggs on the tree, getting to know each other, looking around the school and spending time in lessons.

  Almost 700 of the children's beautifully decorated eggs will be displayed on the tree outside Marks and Spencers in Princes Risborough High Street from 29th March. - definitely worth a visit!

  Great Missenden School has the best Science Quiz team in the country! They won the national final at The Museum of Natural History in Oxford last week. Teams from York and South Wales battled against them but we ended up victorious with a score of 2200. They were incredibly knowledgeable about all areas of Science. Well done, team. You have made your school very proud indeed!

  

• World Book Day

  Mon 13 Mar 2017 Harry Sperring

  Great Missenden celebrated World Book Day in style this year. We saw a wide variety of characters from Roald Dahl classics to p.278 from the Argos catalogue! The children swapped teachers for the afternoon and shared their favourite books. It was amazing to see so many children enthralled by books.
