Remembrance Sunday
On this glorious Autumnal morning, St Mark’s joined the annual service at the War Memorial Park to remember the members of the armed forces who have given their lives over the years.
It was such a pleasure to come together with the many people, schools and organisations within Basingstoke community to encounter such a heartfelt ceremony. Elliot and DJ represented our school with pride by laying a poppy wreath during the ceremony.
What a fun start to our new project!
Year 1 had a great start to their new project when they dressed up as Polar Explorers. The children enjoyed exploring the North and South Pole (playgrounds) to find the different animals. Back in class, the children had great fun learning about the book ‘Poles Apart’ and creating their own artwork inspired by the book. They enjoyed lots of different learning such as creating snowflakes, drawing polar bears and making penguins.
Thank you to everyone for helping with the children’s outfit, they loved the day.
