Thank you to everyone who helped to organise and attend the Eid celebrations this morning. It was so great to see so many parents/carers in to do some crafts with the children. A range of activities were on offer, from crescent mobiles to henna designs, and the children's creations were wonderful. After all this hard work, adults and children were able to tuck into some breakfast. In fact, there were hardly any pastries left by the end of the morning!

Well done to our Bronze and Silver certificate winners. Bronze certificates were handed out to children who achieved 100% attendance this half term and children with 100% attendance for the whole of the term were given Silver certificates. Their names were entered into a raffle and one lucky winner was drawn from each year group who received a very special attendance prize. There were lots of winners who have not missed out on any school and learning this term.  

This week we also had the Easter Egg Hunt Challenge. Children who came to school every day this week got to take part in the Easter Egg Hunt around the school. Before the hunt, they made baskets to collect their eggs in. They had great fun!

This year marks the 60th anniversary of Hillingdon becoming a London borough. The council has organised a series of family-friendly activities across our heritage sites and libraries so everyone can celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. Find out more here.

As part of their Science unit, our Year 1 children were visited by Laura from Animals UK. She brought along some of her friends, including Kiwi the snake. We learnt about the animal group they belong to and their diets!

Today we were visited by a former pupil who studied at Minet Infants in 1961. He taught the children basic skills for understanding cricket. After some short instructions and health and safety talks, children played the game. They learnt about batting, fielding and teamwork. What a great match!

To mark the start of Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel, we had a visit from Wizard Theatre who talked about ways we could travel to school. We also looked at how to travel safely. We talked about why it was so important to travel in a healthy way and talked about how we can do this. We discussed what the traffic signals mean and why it is always important to cross at a zebra crossing with a lollypop person. We had such a fun session with lots of laughs. We even enjoyed meeting the 2 lovely puppets you see in the photos.
