As part of the Year 6 careers day initiative, the Year 6 children were given the opportunity to meet and interview 2 parents from different professions and fields of work. They met a dentist/ entrepreneur and an electrician. The parents spoke about their careers and how they reached their goals. The children were really engaged and inspired by the professionals. They asked intriguing questions and took a keen interest in finding out more about these careers. Children challenged typical stereotypes by asking key questions such as whether or not women are found in these careers. They were left inspired with the knowledge that women are increasing in these careers. We hope that this experience plants seeds of high aspirational goals into our children.

Pupils from Buttercup Primary School donated gift hampers for our charity project to our local elderly residents. The residents were very  pleased in receiving them.

Emdad Rahman OBE from ‘BOOKBIKELONDON’ dropped by once again with some fantastic classic and adventure books for our upper key stage 2 children. There was excitement in the air as the children could not wait to get their hands on the books and read them! Thank you Emdad for supporting our school with your kindness and providing much needed resources that will benefit the children now and in the future.

We celebrated International women’s day by recognising our beautiful girls and teachers in school . To mark the occasion 200 roses were handed out to each of the girls . The boys did not get left out, each boy received a rose to gift to the special woman in their life . Staff were also gifted with a rose as a mark of appreciation to recognise the hard work and passion they dedicate to the school. You are all amazing!

The teachers at Buttercup shared their favourite stories with the children. There was great excitement around the school as stories were told. It was wonderful to see the teachers spend time with the different year groups and share childhood favourites with them and prove they were once children too!

We ended Book Week with a bang! The children and adults came to school dressed as characters from their favourite book. Thank you to all the parents, children and staff for making the day so much fun!

We arranged our very own book sale to encourage children to buy books of their choice. There was a variety of fiction and non fiction books to choose from. It was great to see the enthusiasm shown by the children, many went home with a book that they were interested in. We hope to continue with the book sale next year and make it bigger and better!
