Well done to all who made their amazing bonnets and helped make the parade a special occasion. For some younger children it was their first parade - next year we can hopefully have the parents back to join in with the fun in the sun too. For Year 6 it was their last Marsh Green Easter Bonnet Parade.

REMEMBERING THOSE WHO MADE THE GREATEST SACRIFICE
Today the children commemorated those who gave their lives for us by observing a two minutes silence at 11am. The children were very respectful of this tradition. We have written our own inspirational speeches to tell people war is not the answer as well as make our own poppies.

“She sells sea shells
on the sea shore.”
The tongue twister, "She sells seashells by the seashore," is based on a song written by Terry Sullivan. It's thought the song is about a real seashell seller named Mary Anning (1799 – 1847). Mary Anning was more than a seashell seller.
Mary Anning was a pioneering palaeontologist and fossil collector. Her lifetime was a constellation of firsts.
Mary Anning was born in 1799 in Lyme Regis, in the southwest English county of Dorset. Lyme Regis is now part of what is now called the Jurassic Coast, and discoveries are still being made to this day.

This Half Term
This half term we will be looking at the life of Charles Darwin and his discoveries including his theory of Natural Selection and Evolution. We will also be learning about the discoveries Mary Anning made to the world of Natural History and making our own fossils!
There are so many festivals and events happening this half term - Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot, Remembrance Day, Diwali and Christmas!
All of our work and discoveries will appear here.
What a busy half term !
We have had a really busy half term as you can see from our web pages. We have settled right back into school life at Marsh Green and are making really pleasing progress. We are hard working and enthusiastic learners - we are showing the qualities and expectations of Year 6.

Black History Month
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude - Maya Angelou
This month is Black History Month and as a class we discussed the qualities we want to see in an inspirational person. We even went home and began our own research and art work!
Caged Bird
BY MAYA ANGELOU
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
