Anzac Day
On 25 April India Campbell (Yr 5) delivered a reading at the Anzac Day dawn service at Hyde Park Corner in London. Anzac Day is a significant event for Australians and New Zealanders and commemorates the landing of the Australian & New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli in 1915. This year was the 101st anniversary of the landing, and the 100th anniversary of the first commemorative dawn service in London in 1916.
This year’s dawn service was attended by Prince Harry, numerous British, Australian and New Zealand dignitaries and a crowd of several thousand. The service was supported by the band of the Grenadier Guards and by a Maori choir. After the service India helped lay a wreath at the memorial and later attended a commemorative service at Westminster Abbey. She was lucky enough to talk to the Director of music of the Band of the Grenadier Guards and to sit next to Prince Harry!

Remembrance
The children have all stood in respectful silence to remember The Fallen and to give thanks for all the freedom they enjoy. The Nursery children made poppy headbands and enjoyed an assembly with Mr Fowler in the School Chapel. Thank you to Mr Stroud for playing the Last Post so beautifully.
Year 3 Pneumatic Toys
Year 3 had great fun completing their DT project on Mechanical Systems. Each child made a unique and fabulous pneumatic toy. They designed and created secure housing for their pneumatic systems independently. The children thoroughly enjoyed operating their toys and watching their mouths open and close!
