A special visit (y2)

In the final week of term, our Year 2 pupils visited the Bait ul Aziz Islamic Cultural Centre in Elephant and Castle.

Wildlife Wonders (Reception)

Over the past few weeks, our Reception children have been busy discovering the beauty of the natural world.

They stepped inside the greenhouse to see vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers growing […]

Designers at Work (Y1)

This half term in Design Technology in Year 1, our project was to make pencil pots. We began by learning about structures and why having a wide base is important for stability.

Melon mission (y3)

Year 3 have had lots of fun the past couple of weeks trying to lift melons in one hand! Yep, you heard that right.

Grow a Pound (Y6)

Naomi’s class took on the “Grow a Pound” challenge with just £26 and turned it into £103.68! They sold cakes, pastries, homemade lemonade, and ran a game of darts to raise the money. All funds will be donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Well done to the class for their creativity, teamwork and generous spirit!

To help us get a feel for how long a metre is, we threw beanbags outside then measured their distance using trundle wheels. We learned how to convert between metres and centimetres. Finally, back in the classroom, we were […]
