Tuesday 28 January 2025 Reception Explore the History of Transport In Reception we are continuing to learn about TRANSPORT and had a very busy and exciting week. Last week we learnt that in the PAST, vehicles looked and worked differently. We found out about steam trains and horse and carts and we were fascinated how differently things used to work in the past compared to the present day. Some of the children made a time line ordering the types of vehicles from different time periods. Then each class visited the Pump House local museum to see some vehicles from the past, this included tube carriages, a Penny farthing Bike and fire engines.

Tuesday 21 January 2025 The Big Garden Birdwatch Mr Combe shared his love of bird watching with the children during whole school assembly on Friday. The children were really interested and, perhaps for some, their first time interest was due to the feathery friends we had visit us a week ago. They were a pair of Egyptian Geese who arrived on our playing field and were very happy to spend time with us all during playtimes and lunchtimes with a line of small humans watching, fascinated as the geese pecked at the frozen grass.

Monday 20 January 2025 Year 5 are Space Explorers! As part of our topic this term Space Explorers we are looking at the artist Peter Thorpe. He is an Abstract artist from America who specialises in Space theme art. We looked at some examples of his work and noticed he uses the foreground and back ground to help elevate his pictures. We then planned our own versions of his art work taking inspriation from his examples. Making sure we thought about what to put in the background of the image compared to the foreground. We want our rockers to stand out from the page in the foreground. We had to be sure our colours were not the same on our images as we do not want to the two sections of our picture to clash. We are looking very forward to putting these pieces together in our upcoming art lessons.

Wednesday 15 January 2025 Year 4 see the Lion King! This week, Year 4 (plus some guests) prowled into Central London to see the Lion King stage show! Most had never experienced anything like this before, but they'd be lion if they said they didn't have an amazing time! Unfortunately, we didn't get back to school until 6:30pm, so I suppose I'll have to train the kids to Mufasa on their feet...

Monday 13 January 2025 Year 5 - What matters most to Christians and Humanists? This term in RE we are studying 'What matters most to Christians and humanists,'' To start off this topic we talked about our different rules for life and why they matter. As a class we came up with different reasons for why rules matter and who they help. We decided that rules are useful because they help us in our everyday to do the right thing and be safe. We also came up with new rules that if everyone followed them they would help us to have an easier life. Good rules we thought would be to be kind to one another, help each other out when they are struggling, have no war and only peace and we think one that might be a top favourite for some, shops have to give away free items to families once a week to help them.

It also got them thinking about how families, no matter how different, play an important role in building a strong and caring community.

Friday 13 December 2024 Anglo-Saxons and Vikings take over Year 5! What a day! Year 5 were nowhere to be seen for they had been taken over by Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. Now not a worry it was a very peaceful day up in year 5 between the two tribes known for some awful activities in the past but this was put aside for today. The children worked beautfuly in their pairs to create a cam toy inspired by the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. We then showcased our outfits to the other classes, before we then came upstairs after lunch to design our our Norse God. A very fun day but I am certain Mrs Grant and Mr Andrews were happy to have their students back the next day.

Thursday 5 December 2024 Year 4 Conducted an Eggcellent Eggsperiment! This week, Year 4 conducted an eggcellent eggsperiment. The plan was to investigate how different can drinks affect our teeth; however, since (thanks to the prohibition of corporal punishment in 1986) we aren't allowed to remove children's teeth, we used boiled eggs! Eggshells possess a very similar chemical composition to teeth, you see. So far, the eggs seem to be reacting to the different liquids; releasing some rather interesting smells! We'll keep you updated.

We looked at the different parts of the toy to understand how it moves where it turns rotary movements into linear motion, we have also looked at different cam shapes to help us decide which was our scenes will move. The shape of the cam effects the up and down movements it will make. Stayed tuned for the next weeks edition of the newsletter to see how our toys turned out

It is incredible how much progress they have made this half term already. What good foundations they made in Early Years and how resilient they are at attempting tricky things. We also furthered our Design and Technology skills by creating a moving picture of Stick Man using split pins to create movement. We are looking forward to creating a background and adding a mechanism to make them move like puppets.

We believe in year 5 is that everyone should be recognised and treated fairly all around the world no matter where they are from or where they live.

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.

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!

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.

We used our senses to help work out if a food was bitter, sour, sweet, salty or umami. Do you know what umami is? We marked this on a image of a tongue to show where we felt these tastes. Some items were liked better than others. Our second session we took to the practical room and it was knives out! We had some salad products (lettuce, pepper, radish, celery

The children were full of questions such as what is your favourite thing about your job, what other jobs have you done and if you could do any other job in your company what do you think you could do? and many more. Ms. McIlory was very impressed with the children's questions and the attention they gave to her and her talk. Thank you again Ms McIlory!

Friday 12 January 2024 5G Create Roman CAM Toys We have been busy getting back into routine upstairs in year 5, so we thought we share with your incredible work we completed in the last week of autumn term. In the last week of term to finish off our work on the Romans we created CAM toys. These toys are made up different parts; a follower, a cam and a handle and a slider. The 'cam' is what gives our toys the up and down movement they have based on the shape. We used round ones, egg shape ones and tear drop ones. We worked in pairs to measure, saw and glue these items into place. We had to think about our follower and had to make sure they could be seen when moving. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all and we look forward to our future creations.
