Children and staff are enjoying the snow! It’s been wonderful to see all the pupils throwing snowballs, making snowmen and catching snowflakes. It’s fair to say Mr Hastings is pretty accurate with a snowball!
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful French teacher and her volunteer students from the Perse who gave up their Friday afternoon to cook crêpes with all of our year 6 students. The children really enjoyed following the recipe and conversing in a French about their food.
Our Year 6 Tag Rugby team enjoyed a very cold afternoon at Shelford Rugby Club as part of the Cambridge School Sports Partnership Tag Rugby Large School competition. They played 6 games altogether and only lost twice. Although they just missed out on qualifying for the next round, they should be very proud of their performance. In particular, Charlie led the team brilliantly, displaying excellent communication skills while Maheen's handling skills were exceptional. Both Mr Hastings and I were very proud of their efforts. Well done!
We had a wonderful talk and demonstration from the Raptor Foundation today. Elliot gave us a very informative and entertaining description of the lives of five different species of bird. The four owls and large hawk provided entertainment during a flying display. Did you know the Barn Owl is a silent hunter? The children were amazed at the bird’s strength and agility. We are grateful to the Raptor Foundation for providing such an excellent instructor and inspiring a love of birds within our school.

Today we are celebrating 100 days of school! In morning assembly Mrs Lightning entertained the whole school by marking out the size of some really fascinating animals - including a 7 metre long Saltwater Crocodile and an enormous Goliath Frog. The morning has been spent enjoying maths and English activities based on the idea of one hundred. It's been great to see such a wide range of creative and interesting ways of engaging with the number. I'm sure all the children will thank their teachers and Mrs Lightning for planning such a fun set of activities!
Well done to everyone who took part in the Young Voices Choir performance at the O2 last night. From listening to those who went it seems you represented the school fantastically and ensured our proud tradition of high quality singing and behaviour was upheld. The school adults who attended the event are very proud of you.
