Science workshop after

school

Next Friday we will be supporting Sports

Relief. The School Council have already

been selling wristbands this week. Next

week there will be a sponsored mile run

for those children who want to take part. On Friday we would like

them to come as a sporting hero. The school council will be on

the gates in the morning collecting donations. We have Jo Mersh

coming to visit the children on

Friday. Jo had shown a great deal

of promise in her early athletics

career having been the English

schools 300m hurdles champion.

However, a series of injuries,

particularly shin splints, halted her

career. Initially competing in the

400-metre hurdles and

heptathlon, Jo took up the 800 metres with her breakthrough

season arriving in 2002. She is a member of the Woodford Green

with Essex Ladies athletic club.

This week at the Grove………….

It is that time of year again when we bring an incubator into school and look

after the eggs by making sure they are warm. This year 10 of the eggs have

hatched and we are hoping to keep some on the North site. Mrs Hussein

and Wagtail class are in charge of introducing them to the 1 remaining hen

on the North.

Thank you to Skylark, Miss Dunn and Miss

Tahira for an inspirational assembly about

significant people. The children shared

information about key influential people in

history, who inspires them and what they

would like to be when they are older. Check

the website for more photos.

SKYLARK CLASS ASSEMBLY

WELL DONE

Abdi, Aliza, Joe, Haliima and Sky from Year 5 worked with children from Coppermill and Stoneydown Schools to

make a film on the theme of 'community', as part of a project with other local primary and secondary schools.

Last night they attended the film premiere at Willowfield Humanities College. The mayor, Cllr Saima Mahmud,

described the children as 'shining stars'.

Following the screening there was the award ceremony for the 'Walthamstow Oscars', or the W-Oscars for short!

The Mission Grove, Coppermill and Stoneydown film was nominated in four categories: Strongest Community

Message, Best Team Effort, Best Script and Best Primary School Film. The children won the W-OScar for

Strongest Community Message!

Well done Abdi, Aliza, Joe, Haliima and Sky!

ATTENDANCE

Well done to Magpie Class an excellent 100% last week. Unfortunately we have 7 classes who

did not hit 95 %. Swallow, Woodpecker, Waxwing, Wren, Wagtail, Merlin and Buzzard class are

all below 95%. Those 7 classes will be bringing the whole school attendance down.

PE Kits

We have a lot of children who are not wearing the correct clothing for PE. As the

weather is getting warmer we are doing more PE outside. Please ensure that your

child has a plain tshirt, preferably white and black shorts or jogging bottoms and ap-

propriate footwear and a jumper or track suit top to take outside. Please make sure

that all of their clothes are labelled clearly with their name.

Don’t forget next week is Science week.

There is a parent workshop on Thursday 17th March straight after school in the

halls. Please come along to try out some different experiments.
