On Monday 28th September Year 6 had the pleasure of learning from Jim Bernadin at a Chinese Drumming workshop about Luogu Chinese drumming using drums and gongs.
This workshop tied in with the Chinese Mid-Autumn 'Moon' Festival, or Harvest Festival) which we also learned about in English,
Miss Kanaan and I were most impressed when we watched the children perform in the afternoon and the day was a huge success. Here are some of their performances.

Children Celebrating World Book Day
We are enormously proud of all our children who entered into our Art and Poetry competition which was entitled ‘We can heal our world’. The children interpreted this in a range of different ways through 3D work, pictures and powerful poems and words. We have now submitted our exhibition to the competition and look forward to hearing whether we are chosen amongst the successful finalists.
Welcome to Shottermill Junior's Podcasting team. We are pleased to bring you our first podcast (hopefully of many more!) Enjoy listening to school news, world news, the top 5 dogs and our 'Did you know?' section! Stay tuned for our next edition after half term.

Eight of our fantastic year 5s had their maths skills tested at the Woolmer Hill Maths team challenge tonight. We entered two teams who competed against five other local schools. The teams worked very well together and all had a wonderful time. Well done year five!
This week, we have been raising awareness of bullying through national Anti-Bullying week, which this year is held between 17th - 21st November in schools across the country. Children have been finding out about what we mean by bullying (including cyber-bullying) and the steps to take if children find themselves in a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable. We also invited in a former pupil of Shottermill Junior School, who led assemblies with all children across the different year groups and answered their questions. Children got a lot out of the sessions and they said they were an excellent way to find out about bullying in real life situations.
Yesterday ten children across Years 5 and 6 had to use their mathematical minds when they took part in the Primary Maths Challenge. During the forty-five minute challenge, the children competed against others from schools within Surrey. All children will be presented with a certificate for their efforts and some will have the chance to progress to the Primary Maths Challenge Bonus Round which will be held in February 2014.

This afternoon two school councillors from each of the schools in our confederation met to discuss important issues such as the core values of the confederation, ways to improve our school as well as looking at the opportunities our schools offer for children in terms of leadership. It was a very successful session and we all picked up some excellent ideas that we will be sharing in our schools.
