1st May 2015 Dear Parents and Carers, Another busy week has flown past. The fire brigade came to see Madagascar class again. They had a fantastic time learning about the different equipment, sitting in the cab and also had the chance to use the thermal imaging camera and shoot water out of the hoses! Spain have enjoyed learning about ‘Yucky, Sticky Bodies’ with Sam Mallett – the ear wax caused a lot of excitement and disgust! A big thank you to Scott Bader for a £500 donation towards our new library. Mexico are well into their work about the Coronation and have used drama to really improve their writing skills. Greece have been enjoying investigating scaling up and down using Mrs Lamin’s measurements! Come and have a look next week. Enjoy the long weekend and let’s hope for some sun! Regards Mrs T Davis Acting Head teacher Great Doddington Primary School School News School Policies If you need to refer to a school policy, our core policies are available on the school website. All school policies are available for reference in hard copy from the school office. School Trips Login details to enable you to pay for school trips on line will be sent home next week.
