In 2 weeks time, a group of teachers and parents will be taking to the roads of London to run 13.1 miles in the Big Half marathon to raise money for our school. We have all been training throughout the holidays, often very early to beat the heat! If you would like to sponsor the […]

Beatlemania in Years 3 & 4

Years 3 & 4 have been exploring music by the Beatles for much of this term. Both classes have been enthusiastic for the songs and learning about the band. I’m sure many would be keen to hear more songs if you would like to follow up by listening with your child during the summer holidays. […]

We spent some time in the classroom, learning about the history of Deptford Creek and showing off our Geography knowledge (cue a VERY proud teacher) before donning our waders and waterproofs and getting into the creek itself. We […]

Learning about Mezuzot in LKS2

We have continued our learning about Judaism by finding out about the mezuzah. The word, which literally means ‘doorpost’, is used to refer to a small scroll of parchment, upon which is written two biblical passages from the Book of Deuteronomy. These passages remind Jewish people of their obligations to G-d and reminds them of […]

International Day…help needed!

This year we will be having International Day after a two year gap. It would be lovely to come back with a bang and with that in mind we would really appreciate your input. For those parents who have participated before, your views on what we could add or change would be fantastic. For new […]

Contour lines in LKS2

In geography today, year 3 and 4 learnt about contour lines and topography. We had a go at creating some contour mountains, which came out AMAZING! We worked in out pairs to slowly trace and cut out our different intervals before gluing them together.
