Y5 were given the opportunity to enrol as Peer Mediators. Each child had a chance to apply for this role by completing an application which required a character reference from a chosen adult in school. 16 children were selected and undertook training with the Peer Mediation team, allowing children time to fully understand their role and to practice resolving conflicts that they might come across on the school playground. So far, the children have been amazing! Working hard during lunchtimes to help their peers if any falling out isses arise and working with them to ensure that the right steps are taken to defuse and address each situation. Well done to our Peer Mediators!
'I really enjoy being a peer mediator as children feel comfortable coming to me and want my support in fixing their problems at lunchtime.' Lukie

Date: 10th Jun 2024 @ 2:50pm
In March, we visitied the Royal Philharmonic to listen to the orchestra play a selection of music that has been inspired by sporting events. We took part in the schools' concert 'Going for Gold: The Orchestral Olympics' which was to celebrate the coming Olympics in Paris.
To prepare, we had to learn a song called 'Personal Best' which we sang with many other schools as the orchestra performed.
The conductor of the orchestra was called Michael Seal and we even had a go at conducting ourselves!
"I enjoyed the orchestra because it was energetic and was a new experience for me." Harley
"I loved the orchestra. I have never experienced this amazing thing. My favourite part was the music. I would love to go again." Jorgie
