Dogs Trust Comes to Margaret Wix Primary School
Sun 26 Feb 2023We enjoyed having the Dog’s Trust visit us in KS1 and KS2 throughout today.

This means we can choose to interact carefully with dogs by giving them chance to sniff and smell first before we engage with them

Learning about Islam with some special visitors!
Thu 23 Feb 2023Emperors were ever so lucky to have some special visitors in today. Ismaeel and Ayesha’s mums came into our class to tell us a bit more about Muslim prayer after our unit of work last half term. They shared so much knowledge including recapping the names of the 5 Pillars of Islam, the name for prayer (salat), the reasons why prayer is so important and how they fit it in to their daily lives. We had a look at some of the items they use, and we all got to try some dates, the deliciously sweet fruit used to break fast during Ramadan. It is always wonderful to have people come into share their own faiths and experiences. Thank you so much ladies for a well organised and beautifully delivered talk.

NSPCC Number Day!
Fri 03 Feb 2023The Charity Committee were fantastic this afternoon: they used real-life maths skills to expertly run our cake sale, performing quick mental calculations under pressure. Together, they raised an amazing £167.10 for the NSPCC!
With the donations for dressing up in digits, and the PTFA’s drinks sale, we are sure that total will be nearer £200 in the end. Thank you to all who donated!
