Computers 4Africa


Once again we have donated our old computers, those computers which are no longer compatible with our updated system, to Computers 4Africa. They send refurbished PCs to schools in Africa. This not only helps reduce our landfill here in the UK, but also helps the under privileged children there.

Birdwatching Day 2


After setting up bird feeders and tables in the previous week, Vigo Schools' birdwatching day arrived with a great deal of anticipation and excitement. Accompanied by tally charts (and pictures to help us) we visited various viewpoints set up around school to keep a careful lookout for our feathered visitors.


Woodpeckers, nuthatches, blue tits, pigeons, sparrows and blackbirds were among those seen in varying numbers.

The afternoon saw the children creating models of birds from junk materials. The models were judged and the winners announced in Friday's assembly.



Mr Barber took the winning entries to Millbrook Garden Centre.
