The cancer run took place on the 21st of May and there were 71 participants from GEMS, including students and family members. They all ran 5 miles. All years from 5-8 were allowed to compete.

Thursday May 25th was Daft Day! Here it is in pictures.

SATs met the year 6s on the week beginning 8^th of May and many of the pupils were feeling anxious. If you do not know, SATs are a national set of exams for Year 6s and they petrify some people. The entire year had been preparing for what seemed like ages in English and Maths lessons and sometimes other lessons as well. In registration, there had been tons of revision worksheets    handed out and we felt like we had not had a registration with a chance to read for years. (hyperbole - and brackets! With a dash and exclamation mark thrown in for good measure.)

School will be closed on Thursday 8th June due to the General Election

After half term children and staff will be visiting us from Dandi Experimental School in Shenzhen, China. To welcome them all, we'd like everyone to wear red on the first day back after half-term (Monday, June 5th). It will be non-uniform, but there won't be a charge this time.

From Wednesday 8th March to Friday 10th March, over thirty Year 5 children went to Robinwood Activity Centre. The weather was dry and sunny and we all had loads of fun.

Some activities that Year 5 did were Dungeon of Doom, Piranha Pool, Trapeze, Giant Swing and many, many more.
