11th February 2019 - Global Map and Wear it Red

Our Place in the World

Thank you to all of you who took the time to talk about your family histories at home and send this information into school. 



We have begun to add the children's initials to our map which details our connections to other places around the world, helping us to realise that the world is not such a big place after all!  This is helping us to learn about global issues and to think about how we are all connected and should work together towards the Global Goals for 2030.  You can find out more about the Global Goals here:

There is still time to send in your completed letter as we will continue to share family stories in our assemblies. 

Wear it Red Day

On Thursday this week the children are invited to bring in a donation and come into school wearing something red as a PTA fundraiser.  Uniform is still expected but they may choose to wear an item that is red in addition to their usual uniform, perhaps a red top, jumper or socks for example.  The PTA will also be putting on a 'coin run' activity on this day.  Each class will spend time placing their coins in a long line, so ideally lots of copper coins, and the class with the longest line will win the prize supplied by the PTA!
