William's Time to Shine provided us with the perfect opportunity to honour and pay tribute to those who selflessly served their countries, protecting our freedom and values this Remembrance Day. William told us all about the Remembrance Parade he took part in with the Scouts and explained why we observe this special memorial day. He also shared information about his great-grandad, who joined the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He was a photographer and flew to countries such as Jordan to perform military reconnaissance. We loved seeing the photograph of the Spitfire he made out of a sixpence back at his base! Thank you so much for helping us to remember the bravery and courage of those who sacrificed so much for us, William.

ECO2 COP30 International Schools Conference This year’s COP30 summit is currently taking place in Belém, Brazil with a key focus on “uniting for our forests.” Today, Tigers were part of a conference focusing on the importance of creating and protecting trees and forests around the world, and their role in helping combat climate change. Children had the opportunity to ask an expert panel questions, share their thoughts and feelings and hear an update on how the COP30 talks were progressing from a climate scientist attending the summit himself.

It was Ulysse's time to shine today.  He was really excited to share his favourite book with us.  The book was called Little Red Gingerbread.  We couldn't wait to hear it because it had characters in that we already knew about.  Ulysse told us it was his favourite book because Little Red Gingerbread was eaten at the end! Well done Ulysse,  we loved hearing your story.

On Friday 14th November, Seb was our Shiny Reader in Ladybird Class.  He presented 'There's a Dragon in your Book' by Tom Fletcher. Seb explained how this book is his favourite to read at home because it has a dragon as the main character and by the end of the story, there are lots and lots of dragons! Brilliant presenting, Seb.

Year 6 have enjoyed a morning of Lego computing. The children warmed up their Lego fingers and built a Lego buggy. Once their buggy was complete, in their pairs they coded the buggy using the Lego software on an iPad. They were able to instruct the buggy to move forwards and backwards. After this they coded their buggies to make sounds, react and respond to colours and also added a light cube and made different patterns. Such an enjoyable session for Year 6.

Hello everyone, 

Happy Friday and Half Term!

It has been a busy and fun half term with lots of activities and events.

Rose's Time to Shine Rose bloomed during her Time to Shine this week when she shared information with the class about her family, where she is from, and the things she enjoys doing outside of school. We found the favourite page of her book, The Extremely Embarrassing Life of Lottie Brooks, highly amusing, and we loved her kickboxing demonstration! Rose was also kind enough to show us her geode and crystal collection. Thank you so much!

In year 6 we have put Beowulf on trial this week after the brutal battles with Grendel and his mother. Is he a hero or a bloodthirsty murderer?

The prosecution and defence put forwarded their cases debating back and forth, with it being very evenly split. Witnesses were called by both the prosecution and defence including King Hrothgar, Handscio's uncle, Grendel's aunt and a disgruntled villager. 

After much deliberation, the judge ruled in favour of the prosecution sending Beowulf to jail.

In English this week, Beowulf stood trail for the murder of Grendel and his mother. The class were divided into the prosecution, the defence and witnesses The children worked together to argue their case and in the end Beowulf was free and hailed a hero.
