Year1 Visit to Kew Gardens
Year1 visited Kew gardens to explore the plants and wildlife. The visit enabled children to extend their learning on growth beyond the classroom as develop their artistic talent.
These trips maintain an association between our school and Kew Gardens going back 100 years.
Year2 Visit to West Wittering
Year2 had a wonderful day at the beach where they were able to meet with the National Trust to explore the sand dunes and beaches for their wildlife. We are grateful to the parent support that made the trip possible. After having fun in the sea ice-creams were had by all!
Olympic Sports Days
All Classes from Nursery to Year2 enjoyed Olympic Sports days. These all had an official opening ceremony where torches were exchanged. The children and staff were also entertained by the parent races that followed.
New School Council
We are delighted to announce that classes have selected their new councillors for the start of our academic term. As councillors they will carry out a range of duties for the school. These duties start with a visit to the Upper Room before reporting back to our pupils why we collect food during Harvest for this particular charity.
Fundraising for RNLI Day
Every year we raise money for our local RNLI station in Chiswick. This year we all wore a waterproof item to school and made a contribution to the charity. The lifeboat crew visited our school, arriving by boat and were met by some of our Year 2 children. The rest of us watched on our Giant Screen in Assembly!
Every Child Matters Panels
Sue Edkins, our visiting local artist worked with staff, parents, carers and children to create our five fabulous sewn panels. Each panel represents each of the Every Child matters Aims; Staying Safe, Being Healthy, Enjoying and Achieving, Economic Well being and making a Positive Contribution to society. These are now displayed in our main entrance.
New Playground Markings
We are always looking for ways to make our playground a safe and happy place to be. Our new colourful playground markings were painted overnight and have been well received by the school community. The lines help us to line up smartly and create lots of opportunities for new games.
Chinese New Year
We like to learn about different festivals throughout the school year. We really enjoyed the Reception Chinese New Year procession when children danced and paraded in dragon costumes they had made themselves.
School Refurbishment
A start has been made to refurbish our outdoor Reception fence. Painting sessions have been held on Fridays after school. Both parents and staff have already made a huge difference to the appearance of the playground area and we look forward to enjoying the newly painted outdoor area when the task is finished.
Festival Week
We were delighted to welcome the Head of the Chiswick Vihara, Ven. Bogoda Seelawimala to our school to help us learn about the festival of Wesak.
Having visited his Vihara earlier in the year the children were able to ask questions about the festival held on the first full moon in May for Buddha’s birthday.
