NED Resilience Assembly
Thu 26 Jun 2025This afternoon, the year 4 and 5 pupils participated in an assembly about resilience. They met Thommey, who introduced them to NED, a cartoon character whose name is an acronym for Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best. During the assembly pupils learnt that NED faced a range of challenges, but he never gave up! Thommey even shared some cool yo-yo tricks as well as top tips on how to use a yo-yo. Next week, all pupils will be able to buy these yo-yos in the playground during playtimes, and in the process will help fund another school to have a similar assembly as the one they just had. Let’s pay it forward!

Year 5 Visits Greenwich Park
Fri 23 May 2025Year 5 visited Greenwich Park on the last day before the half term break to explore the Millennium Sundial. We noticed that the sundial had a bronze gnomon (a vertical rod or pillar that casts a shadow to indicate the time), which was taller than all of us! We learnt that the sundial was installed in the year 2000 and designed by Chris Daniel. We had a great day out in the sun!

Family Friday - Expressive Arts and Design
Fri 23 May 2025Today in Reception, we celebrated Family Friday with the theme of Expressive Arts and Design. It was a joyful and creative morning as parents joined their children in the classroom to take part in a variety of hands-on activities. Together, they explored painting, collage-making, modeling with playdough, and crafting with different materials. The children were excited to share their imaginative ideas and artistic skills, and it was heartwarming to see families working side by side, laughing and creating together. The event not only encouraged creativity but also strengthened the home-school connection, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved.
