Year 6 Science
Last week Year 6 studied adaptation in their science lessons. They observed how animals adapt to their environments in order to survive. The children investigated how birds adapted their beaks to survive in their habitat based on their diet. Not only that, but children also designed their own unique animals with features to survive in their chosen habitat.
Year 3/4 girls football
A huge well done to Mead's Year 3/4 girls football team.
After winning the Havering football tournament, the team were selected to represent Havering in the London Youth Games. The girls put up a very respectable showing against other boroughs within London and deserve to know just how proud we are of them.
Well done, everybody!
Year 6 Egg competition!
Dear Parents/carers,
We would like Year 6 pupils to make an Easter egg creation for a competition. They need to use real eggs but please ensure that the inside of the egg has been removed. There will be prizes for the top 3 entrants. They need to bring their entries by Thursday 31st March. Children have been shown ideas of what they could create in class, and there are also ideas on their letters.

Year 4 Mathletics Certificates!
Year 4 Mathletics Certificates!
A huge congratulations to these year 4 children who have earned certificates for working hard on Mathletics at home. Keep up the amazing work!
World Maths Day in Year 4!
World Maths Day in Year 4!
On Wednesday, year 4 celebrated World Maths Day with a special party-planning maths lesson! The children planned games for the party, used their knowledge of 2D shapes to create a bird's-eye view floorplan, used multiplication and addition skills to create a budget for party food and used their knowledge of time to plan the duration of different activities! We really enjoyed discovering how maths could be used in the real world.
Year 2 -Trip to Langtons Park
What a great school trip Year 2 had this week! The children went to Langtons Park and they made the most of the wonderful weather we have had by picnicing in the grounds. This visit was an end to our Science work on 'living things and their habitats'. The children explored the lake, pond, woodland and gardens and identified some of the living things that they found there. The children also fed the birds, went on a bug hunt, did some pond dipping, searched for leaves in the forest followed by having fun in the adventure area.
All the children were so well behaved and it was such a lovely experience. Their good behaviour was complimented by Lisa the Langtons Gardens Activities Officer.
Well done everyone!
"Can we go back" was echoed by so many of the children.

World Maths Day Fun in Year One
The children in year one had a great time celebrating World Maths Day yesterday. They have been learning about measuring recently and spent time in the outside area consolidating their learning. They used tape measures to measure the equipment and each other! They also explored capacity and volume in the water area.
Year 3 World Maths Day!
Year 3 made the most of the sunshine yesterday, getting outside to participate in fraction activities for World Maths Day! The children enjoyed activities as a whole year group, making halves and quarters with a range of natural materials such as leaves and sticks. It was a great opportunity to celebrate Maths and apply their fraction learning from the past two weeks - well done Year 3! A great time was had by all!
