The Easter Bunny came to visit us today. The children did a marvellous job of finding some lost eggs. Thanks to Skylight Office Supplies and FOG who supplied enough eggs so that each child could receive their own Easter Egg for the last time at Gallions Mount.

We are so proud of both teams but exceptionally proud of our girls who did not let their nerves get the better of them and shone like the stars they are. They continue to make an improvement in training every week and can't wait to take on some more teams in the summer term.

Last week our girls football team played a five a side football match against Bannockburn. This was the first game for both sides so the room was filled with nerves! But that didn't stop our girls from putting on a brilliant performance going on to win the game 22 - 2.

Yesterday, Year 6 were treated to a visit from Ex England Captain, Tara Proctor @TazFitnFearless . The children showcased their footballing talents with a match at lunchtime, followed by a full on training session in the afternoon. The children and staff had an amazing time.

Some of our staff, children and friends of Gallions are currently outside the Town Hall, petitioning for the school to remain open and to have their voices heard. Today the council will make a decision on our closure.

Frank class took part in a live online STEM event with other UK primary schools. This included a rare opportunity for a Q&A with Branelle Rodrigues (The NASA Artemis 2 Vehicle manager) who talked about the NASA Orion – return to the moon – programme.

Huge thanks to @se18conway for making the first team game an exciting one and special thanks to @theplumsteadce1 for allowing us to use their space.

Last week, some of the boys football team played a 5 a side match against @se18conway at @theplumsteadce1 . Both sides showed fantastic skill and determination. Despite Conway dominating the first half, Gallions boys went on to win the game.

Frank class visited the @britishmuseum & took part in an interactive workshop looking at Athenian identity. They recreated a historic debate & voted for their preferred Athenian decision. Afterwards the children visited a number of the galleries to view objects from the period.
