On Thursday, we held this term's house team challenges. Well done to those children who represented their house team in the competition, 'Who wants to be a Math's Mastermind?' They showed great resilience and speed in answering the mental arithmetic questions, whilst being cheered on by the rest of their house team. We were also very proud of the staff, who competed against each other and showed just how determined they were to win points for their house team.

All of the children showed their enthusiasm during the dance competition, and it was wonderful to see them all take part with smiles on their faces. A massive thank you to those parents who have helped their children practise their dance routines at home - it really paid off! The following house teams won the dance competition in their phase:

KS1 - Nightingale

LKS2 - Pankhurst

UKS2 - Nightingale

Within both events, we also identified a House Hero for each phase in each House Team. These children were chosen because of their enthusiasm, determination and hard work to practise their mental arithmetic and learn their dance routine.
