By Mina Stickley If you put a fish in a jar 025 water and leave it there it will soon die because it uses up all the oxygen in the Water and‘ it needs oxygen- in order to [breathe and live. If we keep fish we need to change the water often in order to keep them alive. In changing the water it gives the fish fresh oxygen. - School Newsy Notes We are all proud of Barry Collard who brought honour to our school by winning- second prize at the an- nual Oratorical Contest held in the County Council chamlber.
