Year 2 Mandela Class did a fabulous job at showcasing what they have learnt about Plants so far this term. The children were able to use their long-term memory and recall things they had already learnt from Reception and Year 1. Then further deepen their knowledge and understanding by discussing a range of scientific vocabulary such as photosynthesis and the difference between evergreen and deciduous trees to name a few things. The children were also able to explain an enquiry about investigating plant growth and fair testing. Thank you to all the families who attended.

During our celebration assembly, we also gave out certificates from 52 Lives School of Kindness to the pupils who took part in the February half-term Random Acts of Kindness Challenge.

All the children still can't believe that the school have won the Kindness bench, which will be placed in the playground after the Easter holiday.

Today, the whole school had our end of term celebration assembly. We announced who was the Pupil of the Term for each class and for each curriculum subject. The pupils were nominated by their class teacher and each chosen pupil was awarded a certificate. We are very proud of all our children who have continued to excel and focus on their learning.

During the February half-term, we set all the children homework to complete the 52 Lives Kind School - Random Acts of Kindness Challenge. We had many entries, who returned their completed challenges during the first week back of school.

We are delighted to announce that a child in Year 4, was chosen as the overall winner out of all the schools who took part in the UK. They have won a £20 book voucher, a year subscription to The Happy Newsletter but also a Friendship bench for the school, which has been made and donated by NBB Recycled Furniture! We are looking forward to receiving the friendship bench and will mark the occasion when we announce when it will be put in place in the school playground.

Well done to everyone who took part, who will also shortly be receiving a 52 Lives Kind School certificate.

The whole school have been participating in various Science Investigations for Science Week linked to their current topic. Year 3 Angelou were observing and measuring the length of shadows at different times of the school day.

We were astounded by how many entries we had received. The children really used their imagination and creativity to showcase a reading book. Well done to our winners, who all received a reading book as their prize.
