The event lots of the children have been looking forward to all week has finally arrived- the disco!
As I write this about 600 children are packed into a tiny hall, bouncing around to very load music and to complete their happiness, the shop and the vending machines are available! Glitter and sequins are in abundance, as are football shirts. Jamie Coombes, who used to be in Miss Cleveley's class last year has joined us for the evening and received a very warm welcome from all his old friends.
Other activities have included Archery which the children really enjoyed and Ladder Logic- a team building and problem solving game involving ladders, mud, and lots of wooden obstacles.
We are booked onto the 1.30pm ferry tomorrow, which is due to arrive at 2.25 in Southampton. Please allow yourself plenty of time to get into town and park as the Boat Show is still on, and please allow us and all the other passengers to disembark from the ramp. See you tomorrow!

Little Canada day 3
Another busy day here, and some lovely weather for us to enjoy. Just as well really as the activities have all involved getting wet!
Today 4 of the 6 groups have been playing games in the pool and this afternoon all the children took part in dragon boat racing on the river. The white helmets won, however yellow helmets wanted a steward's inquiry amid allegations that they were deliberately rammed so couldn't win.
Mr Howard joined us this morning, bringing news from school and much needed milk for teacher's tea, taking over from Mr Hinton who left us to attend a course.
Another highlight of the day for some groups was the sensory trail which involves tackling a variety of obstacles whille playing follow my leader and being blindfolded. After last night's heavy rain the course was particularly muddy but this actually seemed to add to the enjoyment of some of the children!
The day ended with a campfire in the grounds and a range of songs and stories from some of the centre staff- much enjoyed by all, although there were a cuple of complaints that all campfires should involve marshmallows and we forgot to provide them for this one...
All children are now in their bunks, in various stages of settling down and we are all looking forward to our last full day of activities tomorrow.

Little Canada day 2
Its been a day full of highs- lots of climbing ladders, sliding down zip wires, abseiling down walls, swinging on trapezes and balancing on wires all at dizzying heights above the ground!And when we weren't doing that we were wading through mud, climbing through tunnels or learning the art of fencing.
Most, if not all children, have surprised themselves, and the staff, with just how much they were able to do and how high they were able do it.
Our evening activity involved exploring the grounds in the dark, looking for questions about countries of the world. Luckily for us it finished about 3 minutes before the heavens opened so we managed to stay dry!
All children were settled down, if not asleep by 10pm so we are hoping for a peaceful night, unlike last night when one group made the mistake of disturbing Mrs Taylor's sleep by messing about at 2.30am....
We are hoping the rain blows itself out overnight so we can have another great day tomorrow.

Little Canada day 1
Despite all our worries about traffic bedlam, we all managed to get to the terminal on time, and the ferry left at about the expected time.
However, it did leave minus one teacher and his car as there was no room aboard, and we did have to wait in the Solent for about 15 minutes before docking in Cowes as the previous ferry was still loading cars and festival goers.
Once at the site everyone quickly settled into their cabins and we were all fairly happy with the accommodation- except for the odd spider or two who had to be evicted from bathrooms!
The afternoon was spent exploring and finding out where our various activities were going to take place. The BBC let us down and their forecast of sunshine was replaced by a reality of drizzle for a couple of hours but no one got too wet!
A very welcome dinner of lasagne or fish fingers was followed by a rather loud evening of 'Wacky Races' in the sports hall- the shoe race and the ballon race both proved rather popular.
Hopefully all the activity will give the children plenty of exercise and they will settle down for their first night's sleep without too many problems! (here's hoping!)

IOW day 4-Thursday
Another great day. The children climbed , abseiled, swam in the heated pool and went on the giant swing. Even though it started to rain in the evening, they all enjoyed the disco.
More photos have been uploaded to the photobucket.com "
Just a reminder that the children should arrive back at Southampton docks at 2.25pm. See you there.

Day 3- Wednesday
When you overhear two girls, KS and HM discussing the matrix and one says to the other "Matrix was absolutely awesome", you know the week is going well. (Don't try to find out about the Matrix activity though , they seem to have have taken an oath of silence.)The children have climbed 20 metre walls, abseiled down 40 metre towers, learnt to fence, climbed up telegraph poles and jumped on to a trapeze and then STILL had enough energy to play racing games in the evening.
Mr Howard joined us in the afternoon and was worn out just watching them. Still, the last cabin did get to sleep by midnight!!!!

Year 6 Residential -Tuesday
Two children, W.W and H.M were overheard saying "This is the best thing that I've ever done!" and speaking after abseiling "That was truly amazing!" This reflects how today has gone.
Although it was a very cold night the children woke early. Some earlier than others! :)
Through out the day the children have been abseiling down towers, standing on top of telegraph poles and throwing them selves on to a trapeze, driven quad bikes around a race track and played aeroball, essentially basket ball played on a trampoline. On top of all that they have squeezed in a session on the dragon boats on Wootton Creek and still found time for either chatting or football. More photos have been uploaded to the photobucket.com "

Year 6 Residential Monday
We made it! A perfect sailing across to Cowes. The bus met us at the terminal and took us to Little Canada. The children were shown around the site and then they had to sort out their cabins. All of the children seemed pleased with whom they are sharing with.
They explored or played football until tea time and tucked in to lasagna, stir fry or salad.
Once tea was finished, they got themselves ready for the evening orientation activity. Torch lights are in full use as I type! Some of the boys have already lost their keys and others have stank the cabins out with deodorant! All seem very happy.

Four weeks and counting to the IOW
Dear Parents,
Thank you for your payments for the Little Canada residential visit which is being held on 15th - 19th March 2010, just a few weeks away.
This residential will develop their independence, allow them to experience new adventurous activities and skills and hopefully develop new friendships.
Little Canada activity centre has just reopened after the Christmas holiday. I visited last week. In my opinion and I am pleased to inform you, we have secured the best accommodation and activities at the centre. Over the winter, the accommodation has been updated further, new activities developed and improvements made to the children’s programmes and dining hall. It looks like this will be one of the best visits ever.
The trip was discussed with your child today. We will discuss all of the information below and answer any questions which they may have thought of during half term. To help you here is some of the frequently asked questions that parents have asked in the past.
Accommodation
Pupils’ cabins
We will be staying in the middle of the centre and grouped around a central staff cabin. Your child’s cabin contains four bunks, a toilet, shower and sink. The children are given a key and are expected to organise themselves so they know who has the key and where they will be during the day.
We have asked them to nominate friends who they would like to share a cabin with and aim to ensure that they have a least one close friend in their cabin.
Activities
The day begins around 7.30am and lights out is around 9.30pm.
During the day, the children are divided into four groups. Again we take into consideration personal relationships but we also try to encourage your child to work with someone who they may not have worked with in the past.
The range of activities include Jacobs Ladder, trapeze, aero ball, archery, dragon boating, fencing, climbing, trampoline, abseiling, aqua fun, low ropes and quad biking.
Meals are eaten in the dining hall. Your child is also expected to be ready for meal times. That includes having washed their hands.
Meals include a vegetarian option and are well prepared and highly nutritious, suitable for the active days that your child will enjoy. The food is served in a similar way to our lunchtime and your child will be expected to clear their plates away after the meal.
There are also evening activities planned including a traditional disco on Thursday night.
During the day, the children have a small amount of free time for writing postcards, exploring the site, football, visiting the shop or just relaxing.
Here are the details of the week.
The centre is situated on Wotton Creek, near Ryde, IOW. The address is
PGL Little Canada
New Road
WOOTTON
Isle of Wight
PO33 4JP
Tel: +44 08700 551551
To contact us during the week, please phone the school (023 8073 3415) during working hours and the office staff will contact me. For real emergencies out of hours, please phone the centre and inform them of your child’s name and our school.
As part of their experience, the children love to receive post so could you send a short letter or postcard so that it arrives by the Monday 15th March. Letters that arrive mid week may cause homesickness.
Timetable
Monday, 15th March 2010.
12.45pm Meet at Red Funnel Terminal at Royal Pier, Southampton Docks. (If you are delayed please contact the school). We have ordered trolleys for the luggage but please be warned, that over the last few years, sometimes they have not be available and the children have had to carry their own bags onto the ship.

Lunch is around midday and the activities finish round 5pm.
On Friday we intend to return on the 1.30pm ferry and aim to be back at the Red Funnel terminal at 2.25pm. If for any reason we are seriously delayed we will contact the school and notify them. The school will then text you.
On arrival, please allow the children to get down the ramp. We will ensure they get to you but it can be quite intimidating to face a large body of parents rushing towards their children. If you wish somebody else to meet your child, please notify us on the slip below. Again, if you are delayed please contact the school.
Ferry rules
After boarding the ferry, your child will be able to explore. The children will be expected to be in pairs at all times. We will aim to go on the top deck to wave goodbye and then base ourselves on Deck B where your child will eat their packed lunch.

Behaviour
While we expect behaviour to be exemplary all the time, we operate to a similar set of rules as if we were at school. We expect your child to respect the centre, staff and other pupils at all times in accordance with our school policy.
Misbehaviour undermines the enjoyment and the learning of the other children and staff as well as them selves If your child chooses to misbehave, they will dealt with in the same way as we do at school. Therefore sanctions may include reprimands through to loss of an activity, particularly if the child is not listening to safety instructions.

If your child has a headache during the trip, we tend to administer Calpol rather than tablets.
Money

(A good opportunity to get the washing up done or car washed!) Please can your child bring the money in a named envelope on Friday 12th March 2010. It would also help if it was a mixture of notes and £1 / £2 coins. The money will be handed out during their free time. Your child has been reminded that if they lose the key to their cabin then all of the children in the cabin have to pay for the replacement key.

Please contact us if you have any other concerns, how trivial you may feel that it is. We want to ensure that you are as happy with the arrangements, as your child will be.

Help Haiti
L.O.I can write a recount of the Cakes for Haiti
Year 6 at Fairisle Junior School was thinking about Haiti and all the trouble the earthquake caused. So they decided to ask the school to bring in cakes to raise money. (They were very tasty!) The whole school were told that they had a chose to bring in any amount of money (Reasonable, of course)
What an amazing amount! All the teachers and the children in the school are very proud of Year 6 and in particular 6PB. One of the Year 6`s commented `"Everyone went out stuffed and broke. It was a phenomenal school day for both the 6PB and the school."
Some people brought cakes back into their classroom for their close relatives. Mr Booth was very proud of Year 6`s 6PB hard work.
The amount of money that was raised was £105! The money that 6PB raised is going to go to Haiti from a charity called DEC. £105 is enough to keep more people alive.
6PB are very proud of the phenomenal amount or money they have raised.
Cakes for Haiti
In our school our class teacher in 6PB of Fairisle junior school decided to have a cake stall.us children set up a cake stall to raise money for the people of Haiti to have emergency supplies. Friday, the 16th of January 2010 three of us, Benjamin Dart Emily Grayham and Rudaviro Munetsi started to plan it all. We write a letter to the whole school that they should make some cakes or buy the cakes and when we got all the cakes in on Tuesday the 19th of January 2010 at first it was trouble because we only had a few but we were back on track the day they were meant to be sold which was Wednesday the 20th of January.
There was a terrible happening in Haiti when an earthquake struck the people of Haiti and all they had left was hope because many people had to lay on the streets and just had to be left to die.
We were so proud to have raised £105 plus the money we raised from non school uniform day was about £400 as a whole.
The money is going to be sent be the D.E.C. The D.E.C, who are really helpful, stands for the disaster emergency committee. our teacher Mr.P.Booth says “I’m so proud you have helped many people!”
HELP HAITI!
On the 20Th January 2010, Fairisle Junior School arranged to help Haiti by organising a cake sale. It was a very successful fifteen minutes and most of the children ran out of cakes.
A letter was sent out to all pupils of Fairisle Junior School asking them to bring in one cake. Everyone was surprised to see how many cakes had been brought in. Haiti, which is an island, unfortunately the people lost many relatives due to a terrible earthquake. Fairisle School decided they would help Haiti and raise money for the poor people.
The cake sale began at 10:15 and ended fifteen minutes later. It was extremely busy and many people bought the delicious cakes that the pupils were selling. One Year six, which is known as 6PB, held the cake sale and the class worked behind the stall in the school hall.
An extraordinary amount of money was raised by the children. All together the amount was an amazing…£105!
Everyone was extremely proud including the staff. £105 will be an amazing contribution to the Haiti residents and will help them tremendously. We just want to say a big thank you to the parents and children that brought in cakes to help Haiti families stay alive! Well Done Fairisle Junior School.

Haiti Disaster
After the earthquake in Haiti, 6PB have decided to raise money by selling cakes. Mr. Booth (their teacher) had been asking year 3, 4 and 5 to bring in cakes for Wednesday the 20th of January 2010. They had tables full of delicious cakes and also some extra. 6PB brought the cakes in the hall at 10 am to sell it to the children.
At the end the cakes were all gone and everyone walked out full. The children had no money left. As they walked out, Year 6 cleaned the hall- ready to put everything away. Fairisle had helped Haiti by raising money for them to buy food, water and tents to live in.
When they have finished, 6PB had raised £150 for Haiti. This amount was more than what they had expected. Mr. Booth was really proud of them.

6PB’s fun raising events for Haiti earthquake
Eleven days ago, a shocking event had took place in the small island of Haiti. An earthquake has left 200,000 orphans and thousands of parents dead. The main roads have been destroyed so they must get food through sea. Survivors are being pulled out of rocks and earth.
A cake sale took place in Fairisle Junior School Southampton on the 20th of January 2010. 6PB sold cakes that for 5p, 10p, 15p, 20p cakes. The only way to get food onto the island is by boat. We did this because we wanted to help and give money. People made and brought cakes in and the next day we sold them and made a total of £105.
Fairisle Junior raised an amazing amount of £105 just by selling cakes. “We are very proud of the amount of money we raised for Haiti” said the teacher of 6PB. “We can’t believe what happened in Haiti” said the people of Southampton, it was a very sad thing to happen.
This will help the people in Haiti by giving them supplies like tents, water and other things to keep them alive. This will keep them alive for a couple of days and we hope that other people will join the charity to help save many lives.
Thank you for helping with are cake stalls this will save lifes hopfully many people will get healthy or be well again maybe the money [£150] may get them things for the hospital.
