Sports Day 2016

On Friday, Years 1 to 6 went to Paddington Recreation Ground for our annual Sports Day. Despite the rain, we managed to have a really fun time, trying out all the different activities: egg and spoon, long jump, different ball skills, skipping, sprinting and long jump.

KS2 also ran relay races, including the Y6 vs parents and teachers race!

Rottingdean - Year 2 and Year 5

On Wednesday last week, Year 2 and Year 5 went to Rottingdean on the South Coast to learn about a seaside environment. Year 5 were comparing Rottingdean with where we live in London, looking at the differences in land use; Year 2 were thinking about the beach and comparing it with beaches in the past.

Both classes wrote about their experiences specifically for our website. Here are the winning pieces:

Year 6 visit to BMW

On Friday, Year 6 visited BMW in Camden to learn about the future of cars and associated technology. They saw driverless cars, cars that reflect their driver’s personality and all sorts of amazing new features. While they were there, they had the opportunity to try on VR glasses (and bring some back to school), programme robots and make wallets out of indestructible material. It was a fantastic follow-on to their ‘Tomorrow Project‘ drama, where the children imagined a classroom with VR!

Rock Climbing

Thanks to our School Sports Grant, children are taking part in different Sports activities this term that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to do. Today, Year 3 pupils went Rock Climbing at Seymour Leisure Centre.
