Friday 12 July 2024 1A ASSEMBLY - Food glorious food Last Friday we were so lucky to see Year 1A 's assembly.. What a treat it was!! It all started with their own version of Handa's Surprise called Inayah's Surprise, adapted to our school in London, instead of fruits from Africa as in the original story. The children then showed where the fruits are found on the map of the world. Mr Andrews is certainly improving our mapping skills!

Wednesday 26 June 2024 Year 6 - Two Action Packed Weeks! The last two weeks have been action packed for Year 6! The week before last we created our Sky Arts weeks videos based on two scenes from the Secret Garden. We were given the choice between either the super creepy scene with the owner of the house, or the joyful garden exploring scene. We chose the lighting, filters and camera angles to make these the most effective for the audience and then used our editing skills even better! Following this, last week we participated in our school wide Quidditch competition where we represented our teams in some (very warm) matches. We used our team working skills to earn as many points as possible for our team captains who bravely announced the scores to the school.

Wednesday 19 June 2024 Year6 are Junior Entrepreneurs! This half term, we took part in the Junior Enterprise Project and completed work towards our Fiver Challenge! We had to make a profit from £5, which was provided by the school. We made our business, created our business name, designed a logo, presented our sales pitch and sold our product on our stall during the Fiver Challenge fair. It was such an enjoyable experience raising money for our end of Year 6 party! Along the way, we learnt a lot about finance helping us with life skills.

Friday 14 June 2024 Year 6 Visited Mission Grove School Last week Year 6 went to visit our friends at Mission Grove School as part of Waltham Forest's Junior Citizens programme. We got to hear fantastic range of talks from the people who teach us to be responible citizens such as the Fire Brigade, the Police, Transport for London and Project Zero. The highlight of our trip was getting to roleplay scenarios that could happen on public transport on a real life bus! Additionally, we spoke to Leyton Orient about our feelings towards the transition to secondary school and just how much homework we might recieve! Overall, we certainly feel a little more prepared for life beyond primary school.

Friday 24 May 2024 Year 1 get Inspired by Klimt We are thrilled to share with you the highlights of an extra busy but exciting week! Your children showcased their talents and hard work in a way that made us all extremely proud, particularly during the OFSTED visit. Their enthusiasm and dedication truly highlighted the best of Year 1! During the week we focused a lot on Art and Science, drawing inspiration from the renowned artist Gustav Klimt. We really enjoyed looking at his beautiful paintings of flowers, and the children had lots of opportunities to draw and paint their own. The results were lovely! The children’s artwork was not only creative but also reflected their understanding of Klimt’s unique style. In our Science lessons this week we learned about deciduous and evergreen trees. The children enjoyed discovering the differences between these types of trees and identifying them from a range of examples. In Maths, we continued our exploration of place value and their progress has been really positive, and we are d

Friday 24 May 2024 Year5 Visit the Ragged School Museum To complete our learning this term about the Victorians, this week, year 5 travelled back in time to Mile End 1874 to attend the Ragged School Museum founded by Thomas Barnardo in the late 1870s. Children took part in real life Victorian School lesson by teacher Miss Perkins, who told us to sit up straight and not slouch. Speak only when spoken to, to learn from our mistakes and commented on our impeccable handwriting. We also experienced a Victorian style kitchen/bedroom where sometimes up to 8 people would all sleep in the same room and all life would happen in this room. Sleep, eat and work! We could all agree we think school and our kitchens and bedrooms are a lot nicer today than it was in the time of the Victorians. We finished up our visit with a lovely walk down Regents Canal in the sunshine!

Friday 24 May 2024 Year 3 Learn about Shadows In our science learning this week, we have been investigating the best material to make shadows. We were given a brief about Isaac, whose baby sister finds it difficult to sleep at night due to too much light getting in. We were then tasked with finding the best material to make curtains. Through our learning, we discovered materials are either transparent, translucent or opaque. With this in mind, we knew we needed our curtains to be made from an opaque material. We then tested which ones were best at blocking the light.

Friday 17 May 2024 Year 3 took part in World War II Day On Friday, the children were able to dress up as part of our World War II day. They took part in a range of activities so they could fully immerse themselves as though they were children during this time. They were fortunate enough to have a guest speaker who was a child during this time. Although the children have studied diary entries and letter writing from the perspective of a child, it was great for them to hear first hand the experiences of Rosalie (Mrs Vallance and Ms Mullins Mother). We were so grateful that she could volunteer her time to speak to us. A huge thank you from all of year 3!
