A big thank you to parents for providing a huge variety of World Book Day costumes yesterday.  The children were very enthusiastic to share their costumes and the book they came from with their classes.  A definite highlight of the day was our visits from ‘Mystery Readers’ so thank you to all those who took part.

This week, we have all enjoyed taxing our brains through some extra Maths!  Maths Puzzles have been set up in the hall for children and staff to have a go at.  We worked on our own, with a friend and in groups to test our problem solving skills, determination, resilience and teamwork and be curious, confident learners.

Today we remembered and thanked our fallen soldiers through a two-minute silence following The Last Post.  Mrs Hill led an assembly prior to this to teach the children about the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month and we watched a very thought-provoking film, appropriate to the children's age, about what it is that we are remembering and thanking our heroes for.  The children carried out their silent reflections superbly and very respectfully.  Thank you to Mr King for playing The Last Post to begin our silence.

Food glorious food!

To end Year 6's Young Enterprise Project, we held a Pop Up Market to sell, celebrate and provide services for the rest of the school.  At the market, there was all sorts, from chocolate fountains, to Lego figures, home-made t-shirts and homemade cakes.  The market has shown a great community spirit, while teaching children about budgeting, planning, organisation, handling money, teamwork, patience and resilience.  Thank you to parents for supporting the project and to the PTA for loaning each child in Year 6 £2 to kick-start their project.
