Weekly news from Bethnal Green Academy. Our weekly newsletter is entering its second century, it’s only 97 days to the Olympics and we’re looking forward to a new summer term...
Name that tuna What should we call our new fish?
They’re not actually tuna, they are Hikari Oranda but we think they need a name. That’s where you come in. Keep an eye on the new fish tank in reception and submit your suggestions for their new names. We would also like a reason why you have chosen the names. Put your answers on a piece of paper with your name and tutor group and either hand in to your tutor or post in the voice box. For example, with the Olympics around the corner, you could name them Bolt and Hurdle. Maybe not.
Headteacher’s Award Well done to all of April’s Award winners!
