World Week

World Week is a part of our enrichment programme which celebrates the diversity within our school. Our 2019 theme was climate in crisis. Children explored and investigated the causes, effects and possible solutions to the climate crisis the planet is currently facing. Children took on different roles as campaigners to support the planet against climate change and taking part in cultural workshops. International Day was a great success and children had the opportunity to share and celebrate the    diversity within our community. Thank you to all our parents and adults who donated delicious food for our International Evening. We also voted in our new school councillors—more updates to follow on what the School Council are planning this year coming soon!…
