MANDELA CLASS TAKES A BOW
MANDELA CLASS TAKES A BOW
Class assemblies are a wonderful way for our children to showcase their learning. Last week Year Three's Mandela class played to a packed audience of parents, carers and siblings. An amazing whistlestop tour of recent learning was performed so beautifully - among the subjects covered were the children's RE learning on Judaism, forces in Science, the Stone Age in History and all about getting nutrients in PHSE. Thank you so much to Mrs Chahil, Mrs Blomley and all the Year Three team for helping the young thespians turn in a word perfect performance.
