Year 5 Viking Workshop
Fri 15 Feb 2019As part of Year 5’s Viking topic this year, the children took part in a whole day Viking workshop. The workshop was conducted by a company called ‘Portals to the Past’. They used original artefacts and role play to teach the children about life in Viking times.

Heritage Boxes
Fri 08 Feb 2019Do not forget that Tuesday 26th February is the deadline for the Heritage Boxes, part of our “Who Do We Think We Are?” ERASMUS+ project.
Each pupil will need a box (shoe or similar) that they can use to collect items that represent or explain their personal family history, values and traditions. PLEASE, if you have irreplaceable items, please take a photo or draw a picture instead of bringing in the item. Items for the box could include: family trees; photos, objects or “heirlooms” (not valuable) that tell some family “story”, information about other towns or countries that the family may have moved from, recordings (or written interviews) with older members of the family remembering their own childhood, favourite family recipes, family traditions or beliefs, any other family traits that may be quirky, unusual or of interest to others!
There will be an exhibition of boxes for parents during the open afternoon on the 1st March together with the Mother Tongue Food festival.

Young Voices at the O2
Fri 08 Feb 2019On Monday 28th January, 14 members of the Singing Club ( Years 5 & 6 ) had an amazing opportunity to perform at the O2 Arena!
We formed part of 8.000 strong children’s choir, and had a lovely day rehearsing and performing in the Young Voices concert. We sang harmonies, and backing vocals to different artists, including Tony Hadley (of Spandau Ballet Fame). We also sang lots of songs written just for the concert.
All the children behaved impeccably and we all had a great time.
