Futures’ Christmas Fayre

The aim of this project was for students to investigate how charities work and use the information to create a way of raising money for their chosen charity at the Christmas Fayre. This was held in the Canteen on Friday 5th December, 2.30pm – 5pm.

Students worked in small groups and were given the opportunity to apply for a loan of £10 from school in order to set up their venture. They then had to come up with, design and produce items that they could sell on their stalls to help make

money for their chosen charity.

10 classes were involved and between them they raised a staggering £1645.58 for charity. WELL DONE YEAR 7.

Parent Quote this week: "I would like to take the time to thank everyone who has been there for my daughter at Angmering, it has been an amazing school and the dedication the staff have shown my daughter has been second to no other school. I appreciate the work everyone has put in to making my daughter excel above her year group."

fallible adjective capable of making mistakes or being wrong. "Experts can be fallible" Errare humanum est. That Latin expression translates into English as "To err is human." Of course, cynics might say that it is also human to deceive. The word fallible simultaneously recognises both of these human character flaws. In modern usage, it refers to one's ability to err, but it descends from the Latin verb fallere, which means "to deceive." Fallible has been used to describe the potential for error since at least the 15th century. Other descendants of the deceptive fallere in English, all of which actually predate fallible, in-clude fallacy (the earliest, now obsolete, meaning was "guile, trickery"), fault, false, and even fail and failure. Etymology: Late Middle English: from medieval Latin fallibilis, from Latin fallere ‘deceive’. Foreign translations: French: faillible German: fehlbar Spanish: falible Danish: fejlbarlige
