On Thursday 5th March we celebrated World Book Day.
Children and staff dressed up as book characters and retold the story of The Gruffalo in assembly. We are all counting up how many stories we have shared to help the theme of World Book Day: Share a million stories. The NYJO performed to the whole school. Children enjoyed listening to the music and learning about the different instruments
We were so proud to celebrate the announcement that: Siobhan Freeman of William Davis Primary School wins a Silver Teaching Award in the category of Primary Teacher of the Year As a Silver Award Winner Siobhan is invited to a tea party at the House of Commons on July 11th, she is also invited to the “next round” of the awards. She attends the Gold Awards at the Round House in Camden on October 20th; and is televised on the BBC on October 27th. We know how hard all staff in schools work; but this has been a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the expertise and impact of one very special teacher!
Monday 3rd June
An exciting start to the week as preparations for maths week got underway. Lovely to see some of the Year 6 children supporting Year 1 and 2 with decorating bunting and practising maths games on Sumdog. The London wide Competition and our own William Davis Battle between the classes starts Friday!! Straws arrive in school tomorrow hopefully so we should be able to start making a few mini tetrahedrons on Wednesday. We need 300 to build a giant structure at the Summer Festival of Triangles next Thursday afternoon. Well done to those classes who have already decided on their stall for the Summer Festival too. Nursery’s salt dough key rings sound fantastic! We’ve already had several parents as well offering to help run stalls and make food already-thank you. Nursery up to Year 5 will be running family workshops next week. Please see the school newsletter for dates and times. Don’t forget dressing up day on Friday 14th June (shapes, patterns or numbers or all 3!) Keep collecting up those 5p's too, ready to donate, as classes will be competing to see who can make the longest line of coins! On Wednesday 20th March we celebrated our Language Evening. Children, parents and staff made contributions in many languages including:
Bengali, Somali, Lugandan, French, Italian and Arabic. We shared food from around the world: French brioche, Latvian pastries, Swedish biscuits and Somali samosas. On Thursday 7th March we celebrated World Book Day by dressing as our favourite book characters and holding a poetry slam.
