Sports Day
The rain was dodged once again for our the main
sporting event of the year. The gazeebos arrived early
in the morning and the burgers w ere cooking nicely as
the races began!

The children shows a great deal of grit and

determination, along with some admirable
sportsmanship. We were all particularly pleased to
welcome our Kindergarten children to the event I
think we have some future sporting champions among
them!

Hood won the House Cup as they received more

points on the day, and Jude Murphy was named
Victor Ludorum (Winner of the Games) for individual
achievement. Well done!

The Scottish Play

Year 6 undertook a mammoth task when they decided
to stage their own production of Macbeth. With an
amazing backdrop provided by Mrs Britton, there was
murder and treachery a-plenty! Stand out
performances from Macbeth (Frank Masters) and Lady
Macbeth (Bonnie OBrien) ensured the evening was
full of drama! Well done to the whole cast and crew.

Safeguarding on Social Media

Many classes have this week been warned about a new version of Snapchat which allows users to track or stalk
their friends. Mrs Singh has explained the potential issues surrounding this to the children, and encouraged them to
switch to ghost mode. Please be aware!

Silver Stars

Silver Stars are a rare occurrence, but two girls in

Year 5 are worthy recipients. Well done to Leila
Sandhu and Verity Storrie who both received theirs
in Assembly this morning.

Year 5 Scientists Looking Ahead

Year 5 carried out their sound investigations in
science yesterday. Each group devised their own
way of finding out how to either muffle sound or
how the decibel level would change when a pebble
was dropped into a range of substances.

They all ensured fair testing and they were able to
evaluate whether their predictions had been
correct. All were encouraged to think scientifically
about what they had learnt and how they might
improve an investigation next time.
