We were delighted to see so many parents come through the doors on Wednesday evening to enjoy and celebrate their children's work from this term. And families have also now all been advised of which class their child will be in next academic year.

In our move up assembly this morning I spoke to the children about our gospel value 'Hope' and we shared our experiences of trepidation and excitement for the new year ahead. I reminded them that 'hope is believing that good things will happen'.

While this was happening the Year 6 pupils enjoyed a trip to Southwark Cathedral for the annual Diocese Leavers Service. A really lovely tradition that gives the children a real chance to focus on the next phase of their school career.

Finally, our Key Stage 2 SATS results were brilliant and we will publish all our results in the new year once we have local and national statistics for comparison. We are so proud of all our children who have completed both statutory and non-statutory assessments over this term.

Papa Bear and his family, own a Porridge Pot Diner, and have bigger plans to take over the porridge industry…but through dodgy deals and at the detriment to the other folk of the town, Happy Valley.

Throughout the day, we became artisans, creating canopic jars, and scribes, learning to use hieroglyphics to spell out our key historical vocabulary.

In addition, we echoed our recent Maths learning about 3D shapes by finding out about the ancient pyramids at Giza and creating a mini pyramid of our own using a net. Several children came dressed up as pharaohs and mummies; their wonderful costumes really helped to enhance the theme and celebrate the learning.
