3 Mrs Betts-Hammond s Science Question of the Week! (The answer will be hidden in the newsletter) Q. When a species dies out, what is this known as? Y3/4 Cross Country Race I'm delighted to announce that our boys team won their event last week and the girls team came 6th!!! After winning the boys equivalent for Y5/6, we can now officially say that our Junior boys are the best in Enfield across all four year groups! Keep an eye out for our trophy in our soon-to-appear display cabinet (in the Office). Well done everyone - you're amazing! Mr Floyd TfL Competition To celebrate the arrival of the Women s Tour to London this June, TfL are running a design-a-flag competition for all primary school pupils across London. TfL are asking pupils to think about who their favourite female hero is and draw how she would get around London by bike. Pupils should draw their designs on the attached document and fill in the sheet with the required details. If you are unable to print the sheets off, Mrs Jones will have a few spares which you can ask her for. Please bring entries into school by Friday 5 th May at the latest so that we can send them in by the TfL deadline of Monday 8 th May. Entries should be handed to Mrs Jones. The winning entry will be made into the start flag for the London leg of the Women s Tour, which will take place on Sunday 11 June. The winner and their family will also have special access to VIP hospitality and a chance to meet some of the competitors! As a special bonus for this year s event, all entries will go in the draw to win one of 200 tickets to an exclusive VIP Kids Zone in Trafalgar Square. On race day they will receive a special goodies pack and a chance to meet VIPs, as well as join in all the festivities in the Square. These tickets are strictly limited and allow one primary-aged pupil and their guardian access to the VIP area per-ticket. For more information on the women s tour:
