This week’s home learning for Year 2 and 3 has been science based. They have been exploring liquids and gases as well as floating and sinking. It looks as though it was lots of fun!

Lila’s Visit to 10 Downing Street
In November, children in Grebes entered a national competition to design the NHS provision of the future. We learned about the 70 year history of our National Health Service and the important function it plays in our society. We also discussed some problems faced by the NHS such as long waiting lists and lack of funding, and brainstormed ideas for solutions. Our very own Lila won in the Norfolk bracket and earned herself a trip to 10 Downing Street to speak to the Prime Minister about her idea for an X-ray app for smart phones which would allow people to instantly check the seriousness of their own injuries. She also won £500 of art supplies for the school. We are so proud!
I was delighted to welcome the young winners of the 'Your NHS' art competition to Downing Street today.
Their creative designs and visions for our NHS were spectacular. pic.twitter.com/l5G5p4slUa

Cluster Football Tournament
16/10/19 – Brilliant work at the Cluster football tournament – 2nd place for Salhouse! There were three penalty shoot-outs in the knock-out stages, showing how close the competition was. Well done to everyone in the team, they did us all proud with their effort, skill and sportsmanship. Well done to our sister school Neatishead too!
Big Butterfly Count
Children at Salhouse will be taking part in the Big Butterfly Count. So far the count stands at ONE… this Ringlet butterfly spotted on the wall in Grebes class!
