Today, Year Three attended the Prom Praise for Schools event at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a fantastic experience, with many stories from the Bible brought to life by professional actors and musicians, accompanied by a full orchestra.
The children were exceptionally well behaved and participated enthusiastically, joining in with the songs with great gusto.
Today our Reception Class enjoyed a visit to London Zoo, and both the children and adults had a truly wonderful time.
Several members of the zoo staff, as well as members of the public, took the time to speak to our staff and comment on how fantastic the class were. As Head, I felt incredibly proud to hear such praise for our wonderful children.
The children returned full of excitement, eager to share all they had seen and learned. It was a truly memorable and enriching experience for everyone involved.
Year Five visited the Institute of Physics on Tuesday. Aaron said they visit was fun and informative – ‘we learnt lots’. As part of the visit, the children enjoyed developing their knowledge of the solar system and what might lie beyond.
Year Four, Year Five and Year Six visited a careers fayre at the Guildhall on Monday. The children spoke to a range of different experts in different areas of work, learning lots of new information. Some of the children returned to school talking about what jobs they want to do when they are older!
22 children from across Year Four, Year Five and Year Six took part in the Islington Swimming Gala Trials this week. Results are not yet known, but we have our fingers crossed that some children will progress to the finals next week.
Year Five had their first Shakespeare workshop this week in preparation for their performance of A Winter’s Tale in the Summer Term. The children enjoyed their first session and are enthused about future sessions
All children across the school took part in Skipping Workshops this week. We have these fun workshops each term led by Lizzie Cox. The children really enjoy learning new skills and tricks. Later in the year we will be participating in a national skipping event.
Some members of the school council went to the annual London Diocesan Board for Schools Service at St Paul’s Cathedral. There were over 2,000 people in attendance – it felt amazing singing with so many voices.
Year Four had a highly enjoyable visit to the British Museum. The children viewed an array of Anglo-Saxon artefacts. One child said, ‘I enjoyed the trip and liked learning about how the Anglo-Saxon weapons were used in battle against the Romans.’
Year Six visited the Buddhist Centre, the children learnt more about Buddha, his life and his compassion for those suffering. One pupil said, ‘I learnt a lot, how to meditate and how to focus my mind.’
