We received some fabulous news recently when we were notified that we had won a prestigious national award. Miss Sykes entered White Mere in a competition in which she detailed our work throughout the year as a Climate Change Lead School. It certainly has been an action packed year! - designing solar powered cars , winning the Nexus 'Pop' smart card competition , creating CDs promoting the message about climate change and taking part in an exhibition at the MetroCentre showcasing our work during National Science and Engineering Week. A cheque for £1000 and a certificate are a great reward for all our hard work !

Superhero Mania !
Y5 and Y6 pupils have thoroughly enjoyed their Superhero topic recently. It culminated in a Cape making competition in which parents were invited to assist - as side kicks of course ! In addition, pupils had to submit a comic strip design on A3 card as part of their homework - with the winning entry to be recreated as a mural within school on a much grander scale by a local artist. Needless to say with such a prize at stake the competition was fierce !
CONGRATULATIONS TO LAURA & HER CREATION 'BULLET BOY!'

Celebrating National Science and Engineering Week.
A group of Y5 pupils were extremely lucky to be chosen to represent White Mere at a Showcase at the MetroCentre recently. Thomas Hepburn Secondary School organised the event to mark the importance of Science and Engineering focusing on the theme of Communication. It was a great way for us to demonstrate the electric cars we had made, along with promoting the message about the global impact of Climate Change, in advance of National Climate Week.
Whilst there, pupils had great fun - learning about DNA using strawberries, using light to investigate morse code and writing secret messages using lemon juice and tealights.
Miss Sykes was extremely proud of them - their behaviour was exemplary and it was great to see so many parents visiting the event also !

Congratulations to 'Starstruck Ideas' who won our 'Apprentice style' challenge at the Summer Fayre. They managed to raise a staggering £28.45 in their 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' game ! I'm sure Lord Sugar would approve of their business acumen.
Mexican Madness
Y6 enjoyed performing their Mexican dance at the Carnival last week - despite a few sombreros being blown away by the wind! The music was 'Hot! Hot' Hot!' as was the weather !

Pancake Day
Unfortunately Pancake Day fell in February half term so Reception made pancakes a week late at school.
