This week Year 2 have started an interesting unit in the CCS work we have started on Mary Anning. The children became detectives and had to look for clues in some mystery pictures. Each picture had a little bit covered up and we had to work hard with our partner to spot the clues that told us what might be happening in the picture! Year 2 were very good at the detective work and guessed lots of the pictures!
Put incredible effort into his Reading Log’, ‘positive attitude in every lesson’ and ‘improved participation in school sport’ were some of the reasons students were nominated to be October’s Student of the Month.
I am very proud of the effort and achievements of all students in Key Stage 3, but special praise goes to this month’s winners:
Year 7 – Pup, Tony, Xiaoxin
Year 8 – Gift, Mimi S, Zahra
Year 9 – Earn, Ken, Punch

Years 1 and 2 have been learning lots of computing skills in Purple Mash. They have become experts at logging on, saving work, logging off and shutting down. I’m sure their class teachers have noticed their fantastic computing skills too!
The children have been working independently to explore all the different tools, subjects and activities that Purple Mash has to offer. Some favourites include painting, design and make, coding, 3D projects, maths games and designing cities.
Well done Purple Mashers!

We welcomed the children back after half term with a celebration of the previous terms Stars of the week. The children always really look forward to celebrating each others successes and we think its a wonderful way to start the week!
Well done to the stars of the week for week 8 in school!
Key Stage 2
A team comprising of year 9 and 10 boys played in a tournament at the Concordian School on Saturday 31st October. The boys played in a round robin competition against schools from their own division and much bigger and stronger schools from Division One. They played their hearts out and came away with a 2-3 record. Wins against schools that they had lost to earlier in the year and competing against the Division One teams was the highlight of the day. Jace, Sahasi, Faaiz, Mahasi, Anshen, Shine, Mike, Train, Marino and Tee are to be commended for the way that they played and their efforts at training to improve over the season. A special thanks to Mr Rajesh Choithramani who provided drinks for the boys on the day and supported throughout.

The children in Year 1 had a very exciting adventure this week, when they went on a school trip to Safari World! Whilst they were there they got to see lots of different wild animals, which will really help them with their science learning this term. As well looking at some of the animals they also got to up close to the giraffes! They did this by climbing onto the second floor of a specially constructed building, which enabled the amazing giraffes to lean their long necks over and take food from the children! Feeding the giraffes – what an experience an amazing experience!
