Bronze Paralympic medal winner Harriet Lee wowed Eton-bury Academy with her
performance at a school assembly on Wednesday to celebrate her recent Bronze
medal win-ning performance in the SB9 100m breaststroke swimming final. She
answered questions about her achievements at the recent Paralympics and about
overcoming adversity to achieve personal goals. Carlie Wells 7JMB put together
a power point presentation to celebrate Harriet’s success. A number of pupils who
had brought in photo’s of the Olympic events they had attended had their photo’s
displayed in the hall and were included in a photo session with Harriet.

Red Bear centre comes to Etonbury
At the start of the term we opened a base for Red Bear Children’s Centre at
Etonbury. The room is designed to support families with children of all ages.
Starting this month Red Bear are holding a Tiddly Bears (6months to walking)
session at Etonbury Academy on Thursdays from 10.00am to 11.30am from 13th
September, Term time only.
Children’s Centres provide a variety of information and services to support you
and your family. They are some-where your child can make friends and learn as
they play. You can get professional advice on health and family matters or learn
about training and job opportuni-ties. Red Bear Children’s Centre is your one stop
’hub’ for families living in Arlesey, Fairfield Park and Stotfold for your local support,
advice and information on any services for families with children under 5 years.
For more information on the services provided please call 01462 730623
Etonbury Farm update
Over the Summer we spent a great deal of time and money to build our nature
centre. We now have a school garden/allotment twice the size of our origi-nal
garden, a pond, a fenced off area for pigs and chickens, a delightful orchard for
shade in the hot months, a fire pit for use during sleep-overs and the roof for the
piggery is due to be put on within the next two weeks.
In the middle of October we will have our first Brownie sleepover when our firepit
will be inaugurated - our aim is for the school to serve Brownies and Guides as a
centre for their specific use, though other community groups are welcome as well.
If You are interested in getting involved or using the space, please contact us at

The Need Project
We are supporting the Need Project within the local commu-nity by supplying
items of tinned and non-perishable food for food parcels deliveries. During the
next two weeks 24 Sept to 5 October Year 5 will be contributing to this project
and after that date it will become a whole school project. We are asking that dried
foods and tins are brought into school to help support parts of the community that
are less fortunate. – Support Team
Dr Mistrano celebrates success in a different way
While we were all relaxing during the summer holiday Dr Mistrano was baking
cookies!! He baked 200 cookies for last year’s Year 6 students. Next year Dr
Mistrano would like to bake 300 cookies!
Year 6—Remember, Dr Mistrano will bake You one cookie for meeting Your
English target and another cookie for meeting Your Maths target. Any student that
gets both English and Maths will get three cookies!
Year 7—Last year Dr Mistrano was very proud to see You get the best results
in the history of the school! Congratu-lations!
Now that You are starting to work towards Your GCSEs, stay focused and push
Yourself for even better results - go beyond Your targets!!!
