Today in English the Pandas were testing food that contained palm oil and food that didn’t contain palm oil. We participated in a debate to see whether using palm oil in food is good for the rain forest. The outcome concluded that palm oil is not good to use in food, we are now ready to write our persuasive letters to Asda this week to ask them to take palm oil out of their products.
Reception had a great trip to Hardy’s Farm.
Year 3 celebrated a Greek Day and had the opportunity to look at a range of artifacts.

On Friday 16th November, Staniland celebrated Children in Need. We had a spotty non-school uniform day and donated money to nominate a member of staff to get pied. Mr Roark and Mr Russell were the unlucky pair to get voted, and this along with our Children in Need bake sale helped us raise nearly £1000 for charity.

All of the children had a very active and fun day, and were still chatting about it all the way back to school.
Year 2 had a great time at the Sam Newsom Centre. They saw lots of different performances by the students of Boston College. They sang, danced and they even got to go on stage too! They loved every single Disney song they sang and joined in as loud as they could.
