Griffin's Got Talent!

Well it's back! 

Acts once again wowed pupils and adults alike with a stunning array of talents, ranging from football skills, to singing and some excellent choreography. We had entrants from Year 1 all the way up to Year 6, and it was very difficult for not only Miss Webb to judge but also last term's winners, Street Kidz. 
Miss Lowther and Mr Kader were fantastic hosts and had the tricky job of announcing the winners - it was very close but our KS1 winner was Nadira who wrote and performed her own song and, in KS2, 1/2 Street won with their impeccable choreography and dancing. 

Congratulations to all pupils who look part- Griffin truly has got TALENT!

World Week

Last week we had a whole week learning about different cultures and countries around the world. From Australia to Peru, pupils learnt about different countries as a year group across the school. 
We had some excellent workshops including Egyptian Dancing and Bollywood Dancing, as well as a storyteller for EYFS who told tales from all around the world! 
The week culminated in a fantastic singing assembly, with every year group singing us a song from the country they have been studying. This was a great opportunity for pupils to learn about other cultures and also about the rights of children around the world.

Dolphins star in first Reception assembly

A lovely performance by Dolphin class, beautifully prepared by Mrs Wheatley, entertained a large audience last Thursday. With big voices, lovely masks and dancing, the class performed an excellent first assembly, based on their learning about Minibeasts and the story, 'The Bad-Tempered Ladybird'.

Well done and thankyou to you all - a great performance!
