CLASSROOM CULTURE: READY, RESPECTFUL, SAFE
Written by Layla, Emily and Bamboo
We know the words, but what do they mean in pratice?
Ready
Everyoneintheschool,hastobemotivatedto learn about being kind to other students, whilebeingcarefulofeachother’sfeelings Let's dive into the word “Ready”. The word ready has many meanings that may link into the word “respectful” and “safe”. When you’re ready and inspired by what subject you are in, try your best and keep going until you reach the top. Try listening to your teacher to learn new things and also try to challenge yourself.

Respectful
Respectful means being humble, polite and loyaltoothersandtoteachers,maids,cooks, guards, gardeners, and ALTs. Like being in hufflepuff in Harry Potter. We used to learn the word called courage when we were in assembly. Courage can help us making a difference the world. And making a differenceintheworldwillhelpthepeoplein the world develop more respect. One of the mostoutstandingwordsIhaveeverseen.

S.T.E.A.M WEEK
Written by Phukhao
S.T.E.A.M stands for Science, Technology, English, Art and Maths. S.T.E.A.M week ran from 25th to 29th March.
Each year group had a different project that they had to build using recycled material. Year 1 built mini zoos, Year 2 built bug hotels, Year 3 built bird houses, Year 4 built water collection systems, Year 5 built shoes from recycled materials and Year 6 built planters.
Every class followed a project building process. The steps week were: Research, Imagine, Plan, Create, Test, Improve, Ask.
Year 1 to Year 6 put a lot of effort into S.T.E.A.M week and had great fun at the same time!
“I like steam week because we get to recycle stuff.”
“It was veryfun to create the water collection system in one week”

This is Ms. McCarthy's pet hamster! A few weeks ago we figured out that she had bought a hamster! We all adore him! Shh! Don't tell anybody (Even the BOYS adore him)!
Most of us know that Ms.Upton LOVES animals! But little do we know… she has an ant colony, a guppy tank and a tarantula!
If you didn't know, these animals belong to the one and only Mr. Flegg! They're all cats! George was rescued by P.A.W.S! He was missing an eye
