Eggs-ceptional!
Here are some of the other stunning entries to our ‘Decorate an Egg’ competition. As you can see, we have some highly creative children in our school … and who doesn’t love a good egg pun?
As you can tell, our judges had an eggs-tremely difficult job, but here are some of our winners, along with their prizes:
The Big Bang Fair
On Wednesday 14th March, the Golden Eagles and Snowy Owls had an amazing day at the Big Bang Fair, which was held at Birmingham NEC. There were so many things to see and do. Here, you can see us making and testing rivets, having a go at breaking a world record and waiting to see some fantastic shows.
A Cracking Start!
The Golden Eagles and Snowy Owls are egg-static about the egg-ceptional entries to our egg competition so far. Judging will take place on Tuesday, so make sure your egg-cellent eggs are in early!

Celebrate Good Times – Come On!
On Monday and Tuesday, the Golden Eagles and Snowy Owls launched their new topic by finding out all about the Hindu festival of Makar Sankranti.
The children designed and created kites, researched and produced a presentation all about the festival and decorated the class cow with beautiful paper origami flowers. Additionally, we made delicious Indian sweets: chocolate barfi and coconut ladoo.
At the end of the day on Tuesday, we had the opportunity to taste the sweets and fly the kites. As you can see, some of the kites were more successful than others!
Our Excellent Adventure
The Golden Eagles and Snowy Owls would like to say a huge thank you to the friends and family members who supported the Year 5 and Year 6 Anston Greenlands’ Excellent Adventure evening. The adults in school were so proud of all of the children involved. They produced superb scripts which dealt with complex ideas, acted with confidence and sang and danced beautifully.
By the end of the evening, the children definitely achieved their aim of informing the school and local community about the seventeen Global Goals for Sustainable Development. Additionally they raised a total of £180, with £60 going to each of the following charities: War Child, Unicef and Water Aid.
The North Cafe
As you know, on the afternoon of Wednesday 20th December, every child in Anston Greenlands Primary School will be involved in running a business in our fabulous Christmas Market. You are all welcome to come and join in the fun!
The Year 6 business, The North Café, will be held in the Snowy Owls classroom (outside the reception). We will be selling a variety of food and drinks such as: Pancakes with and without toppings, Tea, Coffee, biscuits, Speciality Hot Chocolate (with Marshmallows, sprinkles and cream) and Fizzy Water. Food and drinks will be sold at a really cheap price!
The money that we will raise will go to the charity Make a Wish Foundation; this exists for one reason – to grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.
We hope to see you at our North Café on Wednesday 20th December in the Snowy Owls classroom.

Random Acts of Kindness
On Wednesday 18th October, the Year 5 and Year 6 children gave a very special assembly. They have decided to run a ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ week for everyone in school, starting on Monday.
Random Acts of Kindness are little things that we can all do to make everyone around us feel happier.
Every day, everyone in school will be asked to complete a challenge. For example, on Monday, we will all be trying to share a smile; on Tuesday, we will be paying people compliments.
In addition, everyone will have the opportunity to send a message to a member of the school community, letting them know why they are so great. The messages will be delivered by the Snowy Owls and Golden Eagles each lunchtime; some lucky people will receive a little present too!
We are all looking forward to a very happy week!
