A hard-fought contest Yishai was successful in his efforts and we are thrilled to share that he won the bowl and came 3rd in the group. Huge Congratulations Yishai!
On Thursday 2nd February we took a mixed team of girls and boys from Lower 1 to play in a friendly football tournament at Alleyn Court. The children had a wonderful time and played some great football ending up winning 4 matches, drawing one and losing one. Well done team!
Lower Two had a Viking themed day with Portals to the Past. The children and staff all dressed up in Viking outfits (admittedly we generally were not historically accurate in this 😊). During the course of the day the children learnt about how the Vikings came to Britain, over time moving from raiders to invaders and settlers. They also learnt about their beliefs, the roles of men, women and children in their cultures. The class played a traditional Viking board game called Geese and fox, they looked at and discussed artifacts and there uses. The children also learnt about the [...]
On Tuesday 31st January we took a team from Upper and Lower 1 to participate in the Brentwood district football tournament. The girls played very well managing to win their pool and progressing through to the semi-finals. This proved to be a very tight contest, with the score staying 0-0 at full time and after extra time. Unfortunately, St. Helens went through due their better results in the pool stage. The girls proceeded to the 3rd/4th place play off, which we won and finished the tournament in 3rd place out of 17 schools. A great achievement for our first ever girls football [...]
Upper 2 had an absolutely magical time on their visit to the Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studios in Watford. The children thoroughly enjoyed their tour which began in the Great Hall, the doors of which were opened by our birthday boy, Ismail. From there the children loved finding out all about how the films were made including props, costumes and special effects such as green screen technology. After a slightly terrifying wander through the Forbidden Forest and a visit to platform 9 ¾ the Upper Twos had their lunch which for most came with an accompaniment of delicious Butter Beer. [...]
On Tuesday 24th January we took a boy’s football team from Upper One, Lower Two and Upper Two to the county finals in Chelmsford. They played really well in the pool stage winning two games and drawing one. This put them through to the semi final which proved very tense and went to penalties. Unfortunately, we just lost but the boy’s were a real credit to the school.
On Thursday 19th January Lower Two visited Sky Academy Studios’, the children worked with professional studio staff in a bespoke studio to create their own movie trailers. This experience supports the curriculum, specifically: fiction writing, composition, understanding of genre, character development and reviewing and refining their story ideas. Before we attended Sky Studios the children worked in groups to come up with a story idea and produce a storyboard. During the visit, the children received a behind-the-scenes tour of Sky Sports News. The children had the opportunity to get hands-on and use some cutting-edge technology which included; broadcast quality microphones [...]
