This term has flown by with the children all achieving so much. We all enjoyed the school concert this week where the children played and sang beautifully. We also had our sporting stars on the rugby field. It is a pleasure to see how they all represent Hopelands with confidence and brilliant sportsmanship.

In the gorgeous spring sunshine, Year 2 completed their Japanese activities by scribing their Tanabata wishes on coloured paper decorations and hung them from the bamboo in the school playground. They were encouraged to write wishes for themselves, for others and for the world.

Every year Hopelands engages in a Global Awareness Week, focusing on a particular country and using this to theme throughout the week in all lessons. This year our theme has been Japan and the pupils have been studying earthquakes and volcanoes in geography, building stable homes in DT, and creating their own performance production using Japanese dance and drama. Pupils also learned about a typical school day in Japan, respecting others and even how students clean their own floors in the whole school at lunchtimes!

Another successful afternoon and another soaking, these parents at Hopelands have jolly good staying power when I comes to supporting their children and our school! For their theme in the Fun Run, the children had decided to be super woman with their homemade capes. The year six girls made the most of their support for each other around the fun spiral course by tying themselves together.
