Welcome to marvellous Mandela Class! Our new class name is based on the inspirational civil rights activist, Nelson Mandela, who dedicated his life to fighting for freedom and equality and later became the president of South Africa. Nelson Mandela believed that everyone should live together in harmony with equal opportunities. In Mandela Class we will strive to live up to the great example that he has set through perseverance, resilience and determination to succeed. We are a class that always treat each other with respect, kindness and support; ready and willing to help a friend in need. By working together, the continuing development of our leadership skills and collaborative work ethic will thrive.

Do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.

With an exciting learning journey planned for this year, there will never be a dull moment in Mandela Class. Building on our thirst for learning and forward thinking mind-set, we will be asking questions, researching and experimenting through the fabulous themes we cover.

We will begin in the magical world of Harry Potter and learn about the scientific concept of states of matter. Later in the year, we will embark on a journey back in time to visit ancient Rome, travel to the depths of the oceans to battle with the Saxons and we will have an imaginary trip around the USA. Our fantastic themes will run alongside captivating and sensational texts that will definitely keep us very busy.

I am looking forward to sharing this exciting learning journey with you all.

Believe something is impossible, and you will surely fail. But believe in yourself and you can do anything.
