Alice in Wonderland Day - Year 3
Wed 23 Oct 2019On Wednesday, year 3 celebrated their Alice in Wonderland day. All year 3 children and staff dressed up in their best Alice costumes, ranging from Mad Hatters to Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Throughout the day, the children made their own teacups, biscuits designed to look like playing cards and Cheshire cats made from paper plates. The day culminated in a Mad Hatters’ tea party, where the children showed their parents all the amazing work they have done this half term, as well as performing an Alice-themed musical performance and eating their biscuit creations. It was a brilliant day and thank you to all the parents for showing their support!

European Day of Languages
Thu 03 Oct 2019European Day of Languages – a celebration of Language Learning
On Thursday 3rd October, Great Missenden celebrated the European Day of Languages in a whole school assembly. Students in Year 3 performed a song in German, Year 4 a song in Latin and Year 5 a song in French. We learnt that linguistic diversity is a tool for achieving greater intercultural understanding. At Great Missenden, our students are taught that languages are a way of helping us to understand each other better and overcome cultural differences.
Prizes will be awarded to Kirsty and Rosie for making outstanding Languages Stones during the summer holidays. All the stones will be displayed at the entrance of the school to show our guests that we celebrate Language Learning here at Great Missenden.
