To celebrate the end of their History topic, Year 2 had a Florence Nightingale Day.The children dressed up as doctors, nurses or soldiers. Over the course of the morning the children found out what it was like in Turkey during the Crimean war; learnt about first aid from Florence Nightingale (also known as Mrs Kennedy!); made a Royal Red Cross (which Florence Nightingale received from Queen Victoria) and
designed poster to recruit nurses and doctors.

We celebrated Maths week during the week beginning 28th January. The theme was ‘Money’ and children in the Foundation Stage enjoyed role playing in their own supermarket! In KS1 and KS2, children solved a range of problems involving money. Children in KS2 also took part in times table competitions: the winners were celebrated in assembly.

On Friday 25th January, some of the Faith Council attended a special thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral, organised by the LDBS. The service was attended by schools from the Diocese of London, who came together to give thanks for the work that schools do. We were really excited to hear from Bishop Sarah, the Bishop of London, who answered some of the children’s questions. It was a wonderful afternoon.

It was so lovely to see all the children this morning. We hope that you all had a restful and joyful break, and are as excited as we are to see what 2019 holds!
