Today we have learnt about how London was rebuilt after The Great Fire. We designed our own ‘new London’ and talked about how it has changed since 1666. One of the children came up with a great idea about how we could really build our own London. So we took on the challenge and went outside into the sunshine to work together and create our new city. It was lovely to see the children working together as a team. I think we did a fantastic job!
Today, three members of year 3 had the opportunity to take part in a workshop at the Town Hall to introduce them to the concept of democracy.
They listened to a story about an island and then had to decide who would be the best leader. They visited the Mayors chambers and met the Mayor. They listened to the debate from the two candidates and had the chance to cast their vote and took part in an election.
“I think it was a fun experience and I liked the chambers!” – Isaac
“The best thing was probably when I voted and I saw the Mayor because she is so nice.” –Rosie
“It was an amazing experience!” – Ellie

EYFS have had an exciting day learning all about ‘Holi’. We designed our own t-shirts, looked at videos from the festival and then made our own delicious rainbow bagels. This linked in perfectly to British Science Week as we discussed the changes we could see happening.
A big thank you to everyone for their kind donations for Red Nose Day. The children had a fantastic day!
Marsden managed to raise an amazing £326.80 for Red Nose!
Our Big Bear Raffle also raised an astonishing £259.50 and was won by Aimee-Rose from Year 3.
The staff would also like to say what a brilliant job School Council did with organising the day, planning activities, collecting money and selling raffle tickets! They also ran a “Design your own Red Nose” competition, which they organised and judged. See below for our winners 🙂

On Wednesday 9th March, England Football and Barclays wanted to host the biggest ever football session for girls. Here at Marsden, we were delighted to run our first girls football session (since the pandemic) during lunchtime. Girls from years 4-6 joined in the session. We were so grateful that qualified coach, Miss Lines, could join us to lead our session and give us lots of top tips.
