Lower Two Viking Day

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.

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. [...]
