On Thursday afternoon, members of the Rights Respecting Council, with the help of Mrs Nicholson, held our very first Fairtrade Tuck Shop of the year to help celebrate and raise awareness of Fairtrade Fortnight! We managed to raise lots of money to help farmers and workers receive a fair wage.
UNCRC Article 31 – children have the right to take part in a wide range of activities.
There are over 6,000 different genetic conditions and lots of children are affected by them: 1 in 25 in the UK in fact!
Today, at Nettlesworth Primary School we raised money and awareness for this wonderful charity! For more information please check out the PowerPoint below:

We have been learning all about the upcoming general election, in both assemblies and in class. We discussed what a general election was and why it is important. We decided to have our very own election, in our coloured teams. Each team has proposed an idea for a treat on Monday. The team captains worked hard to create posters and stood in front of everyone in assembly to propose their team’s ideas. We had some amazing speeches that were very persuasive. On Thursday, each child will vote for the team they would like to win and the winning team will choose our treat! We are looking forward to seeing who the winning team are.
Our winners of the election are…. Red Team!!! Red teams choice of treat was a movie afternoon, which we will all enjoy on Monday!
Today we enjoyed listening to a story from the bible with Reverend Caroline and Emily. We listening carefully and reflected upon what the story means to us.
We are delighted to let you know that we have been re-accredited for the fourth time the NACE Challenge Award and are now a NACE Challenge Ambassador School-fifth in the country. Thank you to staff, parents, governors and children for your continued hard work.
