We’ve had every kind of superhero in our school this week. There were the usual Superman, Supergirl, Spiderman and Batman. Then there were the less usual Malala (the girl who was shot for going to school), Suffragettes, Mrs. Daley and Einstein.
There were lots of lessons which included superheroes and the week ended with a fantastic musical performance from every class plus an unexpected recital by some of our superhero teachers.

Our wonderful choir sang Christmas Carols at the Norris Green community event at Ellergreen Community Centre last Friday. Looks like they had a jolly time. Ho, ho ho!
Enterprise Initiative
The children have been using their entrepreneurial skills in order to raise money for Children In Need. Ventures ranged from selling toast, seeds, cakes, hot soup and Christmas decorations to hosting a movie evening with refreshments.
Thank you to our parents for supporting our entrepreneurial fundraising events. We raised an amazing £761.63. Well done children and look out Alan Sugar!
