Today was a fabulous International Day. Thank you to all those that supported the event. The children had a wonderful time performing on the stage and enjoying foods from around the world.
We have continued with our Global Connect Project by sharing our climates, geography and environment with the other schools from Egypt, Nepal and America. We have also started a new maths unit about Capacity and Volume.
3PJ have started to prepare for their assembly next week. All parents are invited to come and enjoy the show at 1.45pm Friday 23rd March in the secondary auditorium.

Wednesday 28th: Primary Library BOOK SWAP.
Students are encouraged to bring own books that they have already read (maximum 3 per child).
The books should be age-appropriate for the student him- or herself (we don’t want to end up with heaps and heaps of baby books).
The books should be in good condition.
Books can be brought to the library from Monday, March 19. Children will get a token for each book they hand in. The token can be used on book swap day for a new book. Please encourage students to come to the library with the books themselves. We will keep a record of who has handed in books.
Teachers will bring the classes to the book swap during the day.
Books left over by the end of the book swap will be donated to a charity.
Thursday 29th: Children’s author, illustrator and storyteller Gail Clarke in Primary for Early Years.
Thursday 29th & Friday 30th: Children’s author David M. Schwartz in Primary for Years 1-6.
