This afternoon, we were very fortunate to have a special visit from a Y5 pupil’s parent who shared with us the history of racism and racist language, and who encouraged us all to think a little more carefully about how the things we say and do can impact on others. Thank you to Martin for sharing an important message with us and for reminding us of the importance of being kind to one another, even if we are different in any kind of way!

Yesterday, Year 5 enjoyed a visit from one of our Y6 children’s mums – Sarah – who is a real-life train driver. We enjoyed learning about the different roles that Sarah has worked in as well as all the training she has had to complete in order to be a successful train driver. The children asked lots of varied and interesting questions, and we were really shocked to find out that there are only 39 female train drivers in the whole country … out of 400+! Lots of the children showed huge enthusiasm for life on the tracks so perhaps we have some budding train drivers amongst our Green Top crew?
