Before half term, we had our target setting tea for children that met all of their targets in Spring Term from Nursery all the way to Year 6. It was a lovely afternoon with lots of very proud parents, pupils, staff and governors. Thank you to all who attended and who helped the afternoon to run so smoothly.

 

Congratulations to all children who met their targets last term and attended the Target Setting Celebration Tea.

A fantastic new dinner menu for children will be starting on Monday 11th May. 

 

Friday 8 May 2015 is the anniversary of VE Day (Victory in Europe Day), marking 70 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe. Three days of events in London and across the UK will mark this historic anniversary. The celebrations will include: beacon-lighting events, parades, street parties and on Sunday a fly-past over Central London.

 

At school children learnt about this momentous occasion and what it means to us as a nation. We observed 2 minutes silence to mark the moment Winston Churchill broadcast his historic speech formally announcing the end of the war.

Election fever has hit Downderry! This week the British public have voted to elect their new Prime Minister and our pupils wanted a slice of the action.

 

“Yesterday we held our own General Election. Children got to vote for the 3 main political parties. Justin represented Labour, Ovue the Liberal Democrats and Shifa represented the Conservatives. Our candidates delivered their manifestoes in the morning assembly. Our results for the Downderry constituency placed Labour 1st.”

This week, our Homework Heroes have been awarded with certificates and a small prize to celebrate their efforts. Well done to all of our Heroes and a big thank you to their parents/carers who have helped them at home.
