What a great week!

What a great week it has been!  I hope that you all enjoyed the long weekend and got an opportunity to spend some time in the sunshine!

The children have all been working really hard and focusing on their learning.  I have had a queue of children outside my door wanting to share their learning with me.  I was particularly impressed with Ishra, gary, Saif and Sudesh who created some amazing fact files about countries competing in the world cup.  Yonis also has been working really hard to memorise his times tables.  He had such a huge smile on his face as he demonstrated his knowledge that it made me so incredibly proud.

The children in year 2 and year 6 are also working hard in readiness for their end of key stage assessment.  I know that all the adults and children are determined to do their best and be successful.  I know that you will all be thinking of them as they sit their exams; I'm sure we all remember how anxious we felt when sitting an exam.

Today we had a visit from Nick Raynsford.  Nick is the MP for the local area and it was a pleasure to show him around the school.  Nick was joined by Matthew Pennycook.  Matthew is the prospective candidate for the local area in the upcoming elections.  Both were really impressed with the atmosphere of the school and the behaviour of the children.  We also spoke a lot about the issues facing the local area and problems around housing. Both were very committed to improving the standards for their constituents.
