  Wed 23 Mar 2022

• Reach out for Refugees Day

  Mon 21 Mar 2022

  On Monday 21^st March, the pupils and staff at Margaret Wix Primary School took part in "Reach Out for Refugees Day" along with many other schools across St Albans and beyond. 

   

  The day began with much excitement as the children arrived dressed in blue and yellow, matching the colours of the Ukrainian flag. In exchange for wearing their own clothes, the children donated a coin, which was put aside ready for an activity later in the day. During the day, the children took part in a variety of learning opportunities which culminated in a coin trail. Each class added their coins to the trail, which represented the trail refugees would need to take as they made their way to safety. The children were reminded that the journey refugees were forced to take were often very long - a lot longer than our trail!

   

  The children were incredibly respectful throughout the day and reflected well on what it meant to be a refugee. And we are now in the Herts Ad too...

• Book Week -March 2022

  Fri 04 Mar 2022

  At the beginning of March, Margaret Wix Primary School took part in a celebration of books, culminating in a dress up day for World Book Day. During the week, we took the title of "No Outsiders" as our theme and enjoyed books that celebrated equality and diversity. During the week, the children dressed up as their favourite book character, took part in book relays, enjoyed a book tasting session, created book themed art as well as enjoying their own carefully chosen text within their class. It was a wonderful week to celebrate literature.
