Ship of Tolerance - 6th September
Fri 06 Sep 2019You may remember that Jesse Owens Class (previously Darwin Class) took part in an art project last year, working with international artists to create sails around the theme of tolerance. Over the summer, these sails (along with sails made by children from thirty-nine other London primary schools, from Great Ormond Street Hospital and from refugee centres in Birmingham, Leeds, Peterborough and Calais) were used to create an art installation called the 'Ship of Tolerance'. It is currently displayed on the River Thames as part of the 'Totally Thames Festival'.
Why not head down to the Tate to see it in all its glory?
The Ship of Tolerance will set sail to leave London on Sunday 6th October.

Special Guest: Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP
Fri 06 Sep 2019In assembly this morning, we had a very special guest visit: Stephen Timms MP for our area came to talk to children about the important British Value of democracy.
This was part of the launch of the School Council, which from this year will be called the School Parliament. Children are currently making campaign videos to show their class to try and persuade their peers to vote for them in the School Parliament election, which will be happening soon!

Welcome Back!
Wed 04 Sep 2019Welcome back!
We hope that you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful Summer Holiday and we look forward to working with you again this year.
We are excited to welcome three new staff to Sir John Heron; Ms Rasoda (Yellow Class), Ms Ali (Darwin Class) and Ms Slocombe (Music Instructor).
This year the School Community is working hard to ensure that our school is a healthy and active place for children to have the best possible start in life. We have tweaked our school dinner menu to offer daily fresh fruit and natural yoghurt alongside crackers and cheese. On “Treatwise Friday”, a low sugar dessert option will be available as a special treat.
Additionally, we will no longer be able to handout any treats/sweets/chocolates or other items on children’s birthdays. The school will celebrate every child’s birthday in class and your child will receive a small gift from the school to wish them a happy birthday.
We hope that parents will support the school in working carefully to ensure that children are healthy and active throughout their childhood and beyond.
I look forward to seeing as many parents/carers as possible at our parent workshops over the next few weeks. In the meantime, if you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher, the senior staff on the school gates or the main school office.
Best wishes,
Ms Broughton -

Attendance Treat!
Wed 17 Jul 2019Well done to Purple Class, Monet Class and Tanni Grey Class for winning the overall attendance this year!
To celebrate their achievement, the children took part in Human Bingo! Children each received a number, and the first three children chosen by the Bingo machine got to choose a special prize. The next children chosen by the Bingo machine won book prizes, and the last 3 children standing from each class won an extra special prize: £10, £15 or £20 Argos vouchers! Children then enjoyed a refreshing fruit treat following all the excitement!
Well done to all the winners and keep up the excellent attendance next year!
Thank you to Mrs Davis for all her hard work and for arranging a lovely treat for the children!

Year 6 Celebration Evening - 15th July 2019
Tue 16 Jul 2019This year, the pupils from Tanni Grey and Jesse Owens classes decided to write their own script to perform in front of parents, carers and siblings. The performance covered experiences, educational visits and topics covered during their time in year 6. The actors took the audience on a trip down memory lane, stopping at recollections from visits to Leeds Castle, The Clink, Stubbers, to name but a few. Groups also performed scenes depicting the Christmas Fayre, learning in History about ‘Crime and Punishment’, raising money for Red Nose Day, the Football Festival and ‘Anti-bullying’ lessons. During a short interval, the audience enjoyed light refreshments prepared by the school’s cook, in the Hub. It was a great evening for all!
