Mother Tongue Week
Fri 24 Feb 2023We have been celebrating all the different languages we speak in the school - that's 37 at the last count. We have been learning new words, looking at where children have come from and even seen which words have been borrowed from other languages and are now used in English. It was a noisy assembly today as everyone wished each other a 'good weekend' in their home language.

Young Voices Concert - Wembley Arena
Fri 10 Feb 2023On Monday 6th February, the Singing Club went to Wembley Stadium to perform in the Young Voices Concert with about 4700 other children! We sang songs like 'Sing with your Heart' and 'Rockstar' and also accompanied stars such as Heather Small! We also saw a Beatboxing group and a street dance group called Urban Strides. We were excited to perform in a huge venue, and when the lights turned off and the tiny torches were shining, it looked amazing!

February math’s Challenge Recycling
Fri 03 Feb 2023Following on from our Big Green Week, your challenge this month is all about recycling.
I want you to monitor your recycling over a few weeks. Count and sort the materials into paper, plastic, glass (with adult help) etc. Create a poster to show your work.
There are a range of ways that your data could be recorded - on paper/ using a computer:
Tally the number of different materials collected. Use the tally to create either a pictogram, bar chart or pie chart, labelling them carefully.
Ask and answer questions about the litter: Which is the most/ least common material?
Which materials could we reuse rather than recycle?
Could we reduce the amount of recycling by thinking of different ways of buying the product? E.g. buying one large bag of crisps and putting them into reusable pots instead of having individual packets of crisps every day. Record your suggestions on your poster.
Repeat the sorting activity over the following couple of weeks and compare the results. Did you make a change to your routine? Has the amount of plastic waste reduced? Did you do more reusing? Did you reduce the amount of recycling by changing your buying habits? Record your findings on your poster.
Please bring your work in by Tuesday 28th February.
