Predators Patrol This week Denmark Street Class had an exciting visit from a hunting dog. Mr Scragg brought his whippet, Nim, in to meet the children, who this half term are studying a topic called 'Predator & Prey.' Facts about predators and particularly dogs were shared and then the children had lots of interesting questions to ask. Mr Scragg had brought lots of equipment to show the children and he explained what it was all for - it was very funny when Nim modelled her winter jumper. All of the children got an opportunity to stroke Nim and everyone was brave enough to do so. After that the children watched a demonstration of Nim's running skills and even tried to race her across the Muga. After the visit the children used all they had learnt to write fact filled non-chronological reports about hunting dogs. To see more photos of Nim's visit, please visit our Photo Gallery Page Read More

Road Safety with Billy Beacon The children were very lucky to be visited by Louis Taylor who presented his exciting and interactive road safety show to each key stage. The importance of colours - red for danger and green for safety were discussed along with the need to wear bright or light clothes when walking or cycling at night. Billy Beacon and Mr Rocco helped the children to learn and remember the important; Stop, Look and Listen rules for crossing the road. The children found the shows great fun and were proud of the certificate they received afterwards. If you would like more information about what was covered during the shows please visit the following webpage: http://louistaylorsroadsafetyshows.co.uk. The following website provides fun and interactive activities to help you reinforce the messages the children were given today: http://think.direct.gov.uk/education/early-years-and-primary/ More pictures of the exciting road show can be viewed on our Photo Gallery Page Read More

A Cracking Good News Assembly Our half term Good News Assembly was a lovely way to end an eventful term. The whole school got together to celebrate the achievements and attendance of our wonderful children and there was even an opportunity to award the prizes for the Easter Egg Competition. Certificates were awarded for showing; aspiration, respect, integrity and resilience as well as for being a lead learner. The children were very proud of their certificates and enjoyed having a chance to rummage in the prize box. Attendance this term has been lower than usual however Milton Road with an attendance percentage of 91.8% walked away with the sweet treat prize. We hope the better Spring weather will put an end to our run of coughs and colds. There were many entries for our annual Easter Egg Competition which the judges took a long time to mull over. Well done to Mrs Muruganandh for winning the adult competition. Amongst the children Lily was our runner-up and Arnav took the top prize. Read More
