The name Mărțișor is a diminutive of March (Martie in Romanian) but also the name of the little talismans with red and white strings, offered as gifts during this holiday. It is believed that people who wear the red and white string will enjoy a prosperous and healthy year. From March 1st to March 8th, when Romania celebrates Women’s Day, everything revolves around these tiny gifts.  To learn more about Romania, please click the below.

We are fundraising for Red Nose Day tomorrow and are asking all children to come in wearing their uniforms as normal, but they are welcome to wear Red Nose Day accessories if they would like to.

Please could we ask for a small copper donation to be sent in with your child to add to their class poster. We will also have collection buckets out on the gates if you would like to donate more.

We will be holding a cake sale next week to raise funds.  More details to follow.

We look forward to seeing all the children tomorrow morning to help us fundraise for a good cause.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

School Office

Children chose poems from any language and translated them into English. It was rewarding to see them put in the extra effort, try something new, and also do it so well. 

We received the results and are delighted to announce that we have three children who impressed the jury with their translations:

Nellie Kokocinska - commended in KS1-2 category - Schools Laureate Prize (who translated a poem from a language she doesn't speak - La Steaua)

Antonio Nogueira - highly commended in the Portuguese Spotlight with a translation from Portuguese (Mar Portugues)

Amelia Ambrozy - winner in KS1-2 category - Schools Laureate Prize with a translation from Polish (Liczanki)

This competition is a fantastic opportunity which is more than poetry and languages - it celebrates creativity, multiculturalism, community and diversity - a lot of what defines our Wordsworth children. Well done to everyone who entered their poems.

Our school honoured the three children in an assembly, where they received Amazon vouchers, books and pens. Their parents were invited to join in the celebration of their success.

Our thanks go to Mrs Gheorghita who coordinated the school's entries to this competition and gives such wonderful support to the children at our school who speak different languages. 

Here is Amelia's winning translation:
