@missiongrove1 This week at the Grove. YEAR 1 FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD

The children in Year 1 started their new year with the topic; Food, Glorious, Food. They had a banquet when the children brought in traditional foods and they wore traditional clothes. A fun time was had by all.

YEAR 2—LONDON’S BURNING

The children in Year 2 have been learning about the Great Fire of London. They made some Tudor style homes and then watched as they burnt. Next week they will be have a visit from the fire brigade to help them learn more about fire safety , but also how different the Fire Brigade is now from the past.

2 MERLIN CLASS—ASSEMBLY

We wore Jeans at school today and donated 50p for the Jeans for Genes charity. If we weren’t sure of what this meant the children in Merlin gave a very clear explanation in their class assembly. There will be a bake sale at the end of the day and we are also selling Sponge Bob key rings and badges. Some of the money we raise will also go to help the survivors of the earthquake on the 26th August in Dominica.
