Environment Club
Our environment club meets weekly and consists of approximately 10 children from KS2, led by Miss Milford.
Our aim is to learn about growing plants and caring for the local environment.
Recent projects have included erecting a bird house and table in the Science garden (the table was kindly made for us by the grandfather of Becky Cox in Year 6).
This enabled us to feed the birds around the school.
We have spent time weeding in the Nursery garden for the younger children to study plants as part of the curriculum.
An exciting and challenging project planned for the future is to plant a variety of flowers in the shape of the Union Jack to celebrate the Queen's forthcoming jubilee.
The pictures show a group of Year 4 pupils and our two Year 6 helpers weeding the nursery area.

On Tuesday 13th March we all enjoyed a fantastic Urdu Celebration Day.
We started the day with assemblies for Years 1, 2 and 3.
The rest of the school enjoyed some dance performances, fashion shows and we all learnt about some important traditions. A big thank you to all the adults and children who worked hard to make sure that everyone enjoyed the assembly and the Urdu Exhibition.

WEDNESDAY 28TH MARCH - SCHOOL OPEN
As you may be aware, some members of the NUT (National Union of Teachers) will be taking strike action on Wednesday 28th March - to continue the campaign to protect pensions.
Only 2 of our classes will be affected and will therefore be closed to children (the 2 classes to close are: Miss Lloyd's and Miss Free's only).
For all other children, the school and nursery will be open as usual.

Consideration of local residents / parking
We would like to remind you about consideration for the school's neighbours when collecting, dropping off or parking when you come into the school.
Neighbours are still experiencing problems with some parents who continue to park across driveways.
We would like to thank you in advance for your co-operation.

Year 4 connects with the national archives.
This past week all of year 4 took part in a live video conference with experts from the national archives. We learnt about Henry VIII though the historical documents that they hold.
It was a great experience which allowed the children to connect with experts and see historical objects.
The picture of the rat was used to help explain the origins of the National Archives.

Book Week
Last week, Nightingale Primary school took part in our exciting annual Book Week.
We were visited by illustrator, Karin Littlewood and author Adam Croft, which we enjoyed very much.
Some of us were involved in drama activities too.
Every year group studied an author and made book jackets or bookmarks.
Our favourite day was World Book Day because we dressed up as our favourite book characters. The teachers certainly enjoyed the day too!

Olympic Week at Nightingale
In February, Nightingale enjoyed an exciting 'Olympic week.'
We learnt about a variety of sports which will be part of the London 2012 games.
We took part in a range of exciting activities including flag making and researching our favourite athlete.
The highlight of our week was when we were visited by Olympic sprinter Christain Malcolm. We all had a photo taken with him and we took part in a sponsored circuit activity.

At the end of last year, some children from Nightingale were part of the Puppet Challenge. After we arrived at our destination at St.Augustine's school, we had the opportunity to make a puppet of 'Captain Communication.'
We worked well in teams and performed a play which was a lot of fun.
Siobhon from Nightingale wrote about the special day on the site: www.hello.org.uk/your-stories

One World Competition
To celebrate One World Week (24-28 October) all children from Nightingale entered a competition organised by Redbridge. They were asked to design a poster to raise awareness about how to care for the environment. Some children chose to design a poster promoting recycling; others chose to focus their poster on encouraging children to walk to school. The judges commented that all entries were outstanding and imaginative and it was a hard decision to choose the winners. There were four winners from Nightingale:
Molly in 5SM, (overall winner)
Sienha in 2KB, Maria Poli in 6NO and Edith Sizer in 6NO
Winners will receive a kit for the school consisting of eco-friendly goodies.
There were also several runners-up who will receive a pencil made from recycled newspaper.
There will be a special assembly in the coming week where all winners and runners up will receive their certificates and prizes.
Well done to all the children who took part.
Thank you to Miss Sanders for organising the competition.

Stegosaurus Science in Year 4

Check back later in the week for some of the children's views about the event.
