The upper school classes were lucky enough to receive a visit today from Rong Rong MacLeod. Rong Rong was in to teach us all about Chinese New Year and Chinese culture. Â We got to make Chinese New Year cards, money envelopes, calendars and Chinese lanterns. Rong Rong also played the Pipa for us and we performed a lantern dance! Thank you Rong Rong for a lovely day!

We really enjoyed our Judo session with Marv. Kayla said ‘it was fantastic’. Aiden thought it was really, really good and wants to join the Judo club. 
We have started  our class talks ‘Me in a Box’. Adam and Natalie have already presented their talks to us. Alasdair said to Adam, ‘that was amazing’. Cate said, ‘Natalie’s talk was fantastic. We are looking forward to seeing the rest of the class present ‘Me in a Box’ next week
. 
A big thank you to all our amazing parents who came along to support the Football Club on Wednesday night. I suppose we should say a little well done to the ‘not very competitive’ parents who won all their games coming first. Well Done 🙂
We really enjoyed having you there and hope to see you again.
This week we have been; buying red noses (a lot), enjoying Judo taster sessions (so much fun), talking about World Book Day and sharing our favorite stories, finding out more about King Henry VIII, litter picking in the playground, practicing singing  for our Easter Service, learning about fractions in our maths, learning about proper nouns in our writing and practicing for the Handball Festival next week.
Thank you to all the parents who have been sending pounds in for Red Nose Day, we made a graph out of ours to show the most popular noses.
Finally … ask some ‘sensible’ children to take the litter picking photos and this is what you find on the camera roll …
lovely 🙂
