Our Choir children had the opportunity to take part in the largest children's choir in the world. They all were singing their hearts out together with the other 7200 children on the night. Young Voices is designed to unify primary school children from across the region, boost their confidence and provide lifelong memories for them and their families. It was an amazing performance and nothing can prepare you for the sound of thousands of children singing together in harmony. We would like to say big thank you to all parents who came and supported their children, to Mrs Moore for doing the extensive admin and a special thank you to Mrs  Wild, Miss Miller for teaching the songs and Mrs Cooper for giving up their time so the children could have such a fabulous experience. Young  Voices 2019....... here we come!

Well done to Max who was awarded this term Friendship Award based on this letter:  

Dear Mrs Longhurst,

I would like to nominate Max for the friendship award.

This term Max has been a fantastic friend to all the other children in the Ospreys. On a daily basis, he gets on well with everyone, includes everyone, is quick to celebrate others' successes and forgive others' mistakes. Most impressively, he has also shown that he will put his friends' happiness before his own.

On one occasion, he risked the possibility of difficult consequences for himself in order to help one of his friends.

On occasions like this when he has shown himself to be an amazing friend, he has been humble and not wanted any fuss to be made about the kindness and courage he has shown.

On top being a fantastic friend, Max is also a great role model for younger children in school being polite, hard-working and positive.

Mandeville and the Ospreys are very proud to have him and I think he would be a really deserving recipient of a friendship award.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Lea (on behalf of the Ospreys)
