Students on Holiday!

Hi there everyone.

I thought I would just come on to the blog and let you know that the UK students are on holiday for the next two weeks. However, if any of them have access to the net at home then maybe they will put a brief message on the blog to let you know what they have been doing recently.

Also I thought that your idea of a cake sale at the sports day was fantastic and well done for raising so much money for the Orang-utans.

Would it be possible for one of you to contact the Adelaide Zoo and ask them if they would like to link with us. We may also be getting in touch with Jersey Zoo, here in the UK, whom we already have links with, to see if they are interested with the work that we have done.

Just one final thought. Our school is now linked with three schools in Mauritius and three schools in Ghana in West Africa. We know that Ghana has small numbers of Chimpanzees in their most Northerly rainforests. Perhaps it would be good if we included them in the blog and then they may think about a possible project to help protect the Chimps, particularly as they appear to be growing oil palm over there and that this is having a similar affect on their environment as it has in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Cheers.

BHS Sports Day Fund-raiser



Hi all,

Last Friday we held our annual cake stall at the Sports Day. It went very well, and raised about $180, so it well and truly covers our orangutan sponsorship of $100 fund-raised per year.

Here's some photos of the day. I put some notices in the newsletter and daily bulletin asking people to donate cakes, slices and muffins, and we also made "orangutans" - spiders - our drink of soft drink and icecream. 'Twas a good day indeed!
First photo was later in the day after the wind blew our roof off and nearly everything had been sold!!

Bye for now,

Lynton
