It’s been another busy week here at Nightingale!

What’s been happening in school?

• We loved celebrating African World Heritage Day on Tuesday 5th May! We had a special whole school assembly where we found out lots about our children’s heritage and culture. Thank you to Miss Mukasa for leading the assembly for us.

 

• Year 3 have been identifying fossils into groups- trace fossils, animal fossils and plant fossils. Super science everyone!

• Year 6 have been revising hard ahead of their SATs next week.
