Hola

Hola

SAT's are over, half term is here and even more good news...... The school has won a prize for 'The Best Spanish School'. Mrs Waibokeze entered us for the competition and this week we had a visitor, from The Spanish Embassy, to judge our school. Needless to say, she was very impressed.

On Wednesday the upper school had a special treat. A show, by actors from the Kenneth More Theatre, Ilford. It was presented in the style of a Pantomime and the children had a fantastic time. It was also very informative, teaching the children about the history and different aspects of the theatre. The second half of the show, the actors took questions from the children and there was some dressing up too! (See photographs).

A big thank you to parents and family for supporting our 'after SAT's' party with your generous donations. Once again the children had a great, (and well deserved), time. Hopefully for those family members who were able to attend at the end, you also had a good time. We had quite a few goodies left, so the children have been enjoying some of those this week. We have also put some aside for our End of Term party. So once again, thankyou. Don't forget to look at the photos!!

As this Blog is being written, the classroom is filled with the sound of I Will Survive. Yes, practice is well under way for our production. So don't forget to practise in the holidays 6T and 6H!!!! We have also had a Rap Competition this week. Some fantastic entries and some really talented children. Everyone should be proud of themselves.

So all in all, quite a packed week this week. Well everybody, have a great holiday. See you all on your return and DON'T FORGET to sing, sing,sing................

Latest Update

Hello everyone SAT's are almost upon us and I can hear the sighs of relief! The children are working very hard, however we have had a few fun times in the last couple of weeks. Last week we had our trip to The Science Museum - what a great day! The children really enjoyed the 'Launch Pad' area which was full of interesting and fun things. However, another big favourite was the tutorial on explosions! (I do hope none of you have had your kitchens destroyed by the exploding flour experiment!). Whilst we are talking of the trip, I would like to extend my thanks, once again, to the parents who came along and helped on the trip. Without their support the day would not have been possible.

This week we have been visited by StarSnappers. This company is a non profit making organisation and they are hoping to break The Guiness Book of Records title for the most photographs in an exhibition. So far they have more than 60,000 photographs. In preparation for the photographers visit, the children had the opportunity to make masks. These were worn in some of their pictures. It was a lovely experience for the children and the pictures were beautiful. (I believe that in the next few weeks you will get the chance to view your childs pictures via a small proof sheet). I'm sure your child will have filled you in on their experience, but please take time to look at the attached photo's and they can explain to you what is happening and the opportunities they were given.

Is your house filled with the sound of Singing? Hopefully it is! The preparations for the year 6 production have commenced and it's something we're all looking forward to. Please encourage your child to sing by joining in with them - there's some real classics in there!!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the extra day.
