“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.”
It has been an important time of remembrance at Yarrells today. We gathered at 11:00 this morning, to commemorate the signing of the armistice agreement, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day on the eleventh month in 1918.
This is a solemn moment for the Yarrells community, as we come together to think about all those people who have made, and continue to make, sacrifices for both our freedom and for continued peace in the world.
We have many in our school community whose lives are focused on giving service and many of our pupils have parents and relatives who work in the forces.
We feel deeply on occasions like today and give thanks to everyone in our school community who works so selflessly to ensure security and peace for others.

Years 5&6 have been super excited to find out who Prince William chose as his 2023 Earthshot Prize winners in Singapore.
As part of geography, they have been busy researching the finalists and thinking about who they would like to win.
They worked hard to present their ideas to class but Vivi did an exceptional job and created a wonderful animation about the Sea Forest Australia finalist from Australia.

Year 5 rugby fixture vs @fsmschool & @clayesmoreprep
The year 5’s played their first fixture of the season at FSM today. After a very wet morning the clouds had vanished before kick-off. Both Reds and Greens worked very well in their respective teams, there was some great forward running and dodging with great support play.
Defensively we tackled well improving throughout the matches.
The children made really good progress during the matches particularly with their positioning and spreading out in both attack and defence.
The teachers were really impressed with all the student's attitude and effort.
Huge congratulations to everyone that took part.

Throughout November we’re taking part in ‘Cut Your Carbon’ Eco Schools Challenge!
Challenging all pupils to complete 9 small carbon cutting actions at home with the help of friends and family.
Cut Your Carbon is a national schools campaign, delivered by the country’s largest environmental schools programme, Eco-Schools. The campaign creates a national moment, spotlighting the various aspects of our lives that result in carbon emissions and challenges pupils to take positive action to reduce their carbon footprint.
The central challenge of Cut Your Carbon is a checklist of 9 simple actions that pupils can complete at home with family and friends throughout November. These actions relate to everyday activities and prompt families to consider how they can make small changes to help reduce their impact on our planet.

Louis in Year 5 at Yarrells has set a NEW World Record…
Louis Robinett, a 9-year-old running sensation from Poole, Dorset, has stunned the sporting world by running a 5K in 17 minutes and 40 seconds, breaking the previous world record in his age category.
This milestone was achieved at the
Poole @parkrunuk on the 7th of October and came with a remarkable age grade of 92.55%.
The age-grading system, which evaluates an athlete's performance against the world record for their age and gender, positions Louis at a World Class Level with a 92.55% grade.
Already known for breaking the UK Parkrun record for his under-11s age category last year, Louis' latest feat elevates him from a national level to the fastest 9-year-old in the world over 5 kilometres.
Reacting to his groundbreaking achievement, Louis stated, "I’m on top of the world right now! It’s a huge deal to break a world record, and I couldn't have done it without the support of my family and the team @poolerunners ."

School Pond.
The Estates team have been working hard to ensure that the pond area is ready for the winter and more importantly, for the spring.
The children benefit greatly from this area and learn so much about the residents of the pond and their interesting lifecycles.
There are loads of Newts, frogs , tadpoles, dragonflies, and the alien looking dragonfly larvae. There are a host of snails, worms, water beetles, microscopic algae and microbial life forms which can be viewed and studied under the microscopes.
Mr Hill has planted a few water lily rhizomes and a few other aquatic plants which will add colour and interest to the pond as well as helping to produce oxygen in the water.

Passionate about your annual alpine ski holidays? Longing for a way to keep skiing all year round? Look no further!
Yarrells School is excited to assemble a school ski race team for dry slope competitions in the upcoming Southern National Schools Race League. These thrilling races will take place at the Southampton dry slope throughout the winter season, commencing on October 6th, 2023, followed by events on November 24th, 2023, February 2nd, 2024, and March 15th, 2024.
