Our discussion piece this week… The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup is now well underway in France. The competition is being held across nine cities, with the semi-final and final being played in Lyon. Women's football is fast growing in popularity, with the global viewing audience for the Women's World Cup
expected to reach up to one billion! But the players themselves are increasingly questioning the level of earnings and prize money they receive compared to malefootballers, Things to talk about at home…
Have you been watching the Women’s World Cup? Do you think it is shown enough on TV? Do you think it’s fair that male footballers are paid more than female at the moment?

Year 6 Fiver Challenge
Year 6’s Fiver Challenge was a huge success so thank you for supporting!
It has been an invaluable part of learning: we have had to budget and work as a team to solve many problems. We have also gained some useful work experience! The Year 6 children worked incredibly hard to ensure that the Creperie ran smoothly and that all the customers were happy. A few pupils even entertained the customers with a delightful song in French!
Mr Secker never wants to see another pancake again!
