Well done Ollie

Ollie's Beaver team came second in the District Sports day on Saturday.  They were very very close to winning the team event. 

Here's Ollie and his team of six recieving certificates celebrating their 2nd place.  Ollie has just been awarded his 'Global Challenge' badge too.

Ollie showing off his badge and certificate pulling his usual 'daft' photo face! Where does he get that from?

Running out of space Ollie!

Did you See the Super moon on Saturday?

Here's two pics of Saturdays Super moon

So, what is a Super moon?



The supermoon phenomenon occurs when the moon passes closest to Earth on the two bodies' orbit and the moon is full.  Ordinary supermoons occur about five times a year but events such as last week's are known as "maximal perigee" – when the two heavenly bodies are particularly close – and only happen about every two decades.

On Saturday the moon came closer to Earth than at any point in almost 20 years, making it look much bigger, although it was still 221,567 miles away.

This diagram shows the relative difference in size from an Apogee moon (Apogee is the moons furthest point from the Earth in it's orbit) and a Perigee moon (the moon is at it's closest point to earth in its orbit)

It was calculated that the moon looked 14% larger than normal on Saturday.
