The Bike It project

We have joined a project as part of our School Travel Plan called Bike It. This week we are blinging ourselves and our bikes to remind us of the importance of being seen in the dark now that the evenings are getting darker earlier.

If you would like more information on the project, it is run by a group called Sustrans:

If you are thinking of buying a bike for Christmas, they have a useful guide here:

Olympic Torch Relay

Today the School Council were lucky enough to be part of an Olympic Torch relay where every London borough had a representative from their school to carry the original 1948 torch from school to school and borough to borough.

The behaviour of the School Councul members was excellent and they all earnt a Bronze Star.

Summer Holidays

It's now the end of term and there's no school until September. What are you going to do this summer? Tell us on the blog.

Year 3 Dinosaurs

During the topic of Dinosaurs the year 3 children made dinosaurs with parts of it that moved. This was part of our DT topic on pneumatics. We really enjoyed making them. Here are a couple of the dinosaurs from 3R and 3S.

Year 3 Creative Day.

On Creative day year 3 were designing their own inventions to help them with an everyday problem, for example always waking up late. They worked in groups to come up with an invention that would solve the problem. All the year 3's enjoyed making their inventions. Here are a few pictures of the different inventions.

Multi-Cultural Week

This week is Multi-Cultural week at school

Year 3 are learning about China.
Year 4 are learning about India.
Year 5 are learning about Mexico.
Year 6 are learning about South Africa.

It's been an exciting week so far, with Year 3 and 5, departing to their countries from the UK on planes, they even made passports and had to have security checks! There's been food tasting and lots of lovely art work.

We will add some pictures soon.
