Prepping for West Ham...

Year 2 are very excited for the West Ham day tomorrow. We have been painting our own flags and have created bunting compiled of mini West Ham players! We needed to be very patient to ensure the badge was clear and also used our reciprocity skills to work together on the large flag.
 
Come on you Irons!

Your continual support in encouraging the children to complete the elements is greatly appreciated.

Poem: The World’s fastest bicycle by Kenn Nesbitt


My bicycle's the fastest
that the world has ever seen;
it has supersonic engines
and a flame-retardant sheen.

My bicycle will travel
a gazillion miles an hour --
it has rockets on the handlebars
for supplemental power.

The pedals both are jet-propelled
to help you pedal faster,
and the shifter is equipped
with an electric turbo-blaster.

The fender has a parachute
in case you need to brake.
Yes, my bike is undeniably
the fastest one they make.

My bicycle's incredible!
I love the way it feels,
and I'll like it even more
when Dad removes the training wheels.

Artist: Michael Irvine

Dear Year One parents,

Please note there will be a trip for YEAR ONE to the Barbican Hall on Monday 20th March, in order to participate and sing songs the children have been practising in their music lessons. A letter was sent out today which mistakenly had Year Two written instead- apologies for this error. Please do complete this letter and return it with your child's lunch choice.

Many thanks- Miss Chappel and Miss Hammond
