The New Junior Leadership Team
I am pleased to announce that we have a new Junior Leadership Team. A massive thank you to everyone who wrote a speech, had the confidence to speak in front of their classmates and thought of creative ways to improve our school.
There was a flurry of activity this morning as all classes visited the hall to cast their votes. It was very tense!
Our new JLT is…
1/2 C – Michael and Nyla
1/2 K- Caleb and Hermione
1/2 V – Ava and Lorien
3/4 N – Aurora and Freya
3/4 O – Rowan and Jessica
3/4 E – Sam and Elisa

I can’t wait to meet with the new team after the Easter holiday and get started!
5/6B Certificate Celebration
Here are our certificate winners for last week…
For great learning…
Dylan – You have improved massively over this half term by putting your hand up to contribute to classroom discussions. Your levels of resilience continue to build as we’ve returned to a normal school routine. Well done, Dylan!
For sport and physical activity…
Luke – You have shown huge improvements in your effort levels during each daily WUSU. You are a great team player who always gives 100%. Great work, Luke!
For great living and learning skills…
Chelsea – You are a very kind and caring person. You help other pupils and adults with their daily tasks. You also provide fantastic support to others without prompt. Well done, Chelsea – you deserve it!
History topic finale – dress as a real life hero
We had a fabulous day dressing as real life heroes. Our history topic this half term has focused on ‘Historic Heroes’ – Nelson Mandela and Leonora Cohen – and how their actions changed things. Can your child tell you what they did?
I came as a nurse because they help to make people better.
I came as a Covid vaccine developer because they have helped to keep us safe.
I came as a firefighter because they help to keep us safe.
I came as a soldier because they protect us.
Egg-cellent egg rolling competition
We had a great time rolling our eggs today. The winners were Ben, Freddie and Kai! Well done to their egg-cellent speedy eggs.
Self-care bingo
It’s the little things we need to focus on at the moment to take care of ourselves during this difficult time. Here is a bingo game that might be fun to do over the holidays! 
Junior Leadership Team Speeches
A huge well done to all the children from 5/6 S for completing your homework and creating your own speeches for the JLT elections. You had put a lot of effort in and you thought of creative ways to convince us to vote for you. I would be very proud to have any of you on the JLT.
Voting takes place on Friday 1st April, so watch this space to see who our new JLT members are!
Electrifying Science!
This half term, we have been working hard to investigate and test our own electrical circuits. We have been learning about the different electrical components used within a circuit, the roles that they play and the necessary components to make a circuit work!
Here’s a picture of our science circuit display:
What do you think?
Can you explain why our circuit doesn’t work?
3,4O: certificates
Well done to all our certificate winners this week…
Living and learning – staying safe homework
We’ve had some fabulous homework this week. The children shared their ideas through pictures, writing and video! We talked about how to stay safe online, near roads, from Covid-19 and in the home.
Green fingers.
We have certainly made the most of the outdoor area in the sunshine this week. We have so many signs of Spring: daffodils, blossom, buds on the trees and slightly drier grass!
Our ‘green fingers’ have certainly been put to use. We have planted many seeds and are observing them daily. We have planted outside and inside. Which seeds will grow the quickest?
From reading ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’, we have been inspired to read, write, paint, play green grocer’s and draw on a laptop painting suite.
Our focus number 9 has really made our brains think and represent the number in many ways. From numicon, to number stories to number sentences-we are very proud of all our learning!
Egg rolling fun!
Please could your child bring a hard boiled egg to school on Thursday 1 April. It should be named/initialed. Decorating it is optional but it still needs to roll.
