The highlight of  last day at school was the Year 3 and 4 production of Who's your Mummy?. The children have worked really hard over the last few weeks, and especially this week with all the events that were happening. Children who hadn't previously had main parts took on roles at very short notice. The children were really excited to perform their production to the rest of the school. We have recorded the production for those who were not able to come in to school. Pease feel free to click on the links below for the production of Who's the mummy?

On Thursday 13^th February, we were visited by Alison Leavy.

Alison is a Bio-chemist and works at company called Life Ark. She has been working there for 40 years and loves her job and science. She trained as a Bio-chemist however, she mostly works with cells. Alison has lived in many countries and has helped many different people.

Alison went to a primary school in South London, Croydon. After spending 3 years at university and finishing a degree, she left at the age of 18. Although she didn’t have a dream at school, Alison thought about what she could actually do. To do her job, she had to be good at maths, science, problem solving skills and perseverance.

At 8 o’clock every morning, Alison heads to her lab. To enter the lab, you have to wear a white cloak, special glasses and white latex gloves. She meets new people most days and makes their good ideas work. Alison conducts many experiments which could each take from one hour to six months. There is also a glass wall so people can look inside the lab without being to close. Now they have robots in the laboratory, and in the afternoons, Alison works in an office of computers.

Her nugget of wisdom was, “The most important thing is to try everything, take all of your opportunities and never give up!”     

We are very pleased to be holding more workshops from HAFLS after half term.
