We are really pleased that it looks like the Year 6 Opera Premiere can go ahead as hoped on Tuesday 20th July @ 7pm
Mr Barrett and the Year 6 team are working extra hard to ensure that the children get their red carpet treatment.
The screening will take place at the marvelous Genesis Cinema in Whitechapel.

When we turned over the logs this morning we couldn’t believe what was living underneath….there were slugs, worms, wood lice, ants and some lovely big beatles.
We had a perform drama workshop with Sarah on Wednesday in Lloyd Hall. We thought about all the different creatures we might see under the sea and moved like them. Then we put on our diving gear and we got ready to swim. While we were swimming we met Dolly the dolphin who told us about the lost pearl that the deep sea creature took to the Arctic bottom. We hunted for the magic pearl and then we made a wish on it. I wonder what everyone wished for?
We’re really motivated to make our own song sheets so that we can remember the lyrics to Singing in the Rain.
All of the nursery and reception children watched a production of Errols Garden by the Golden Toad theatre company at school today. There was lots of songs and dancing too. We found out all about how Errol and his sister Tia created a garden on the roof of their flats and all their neighbours helped. All the children and the adults agreed it was a brilliant show.
Here is a link to a trailer and activity for the show…..
Today is a school wide dressing up day! The children have really gone for it and look fantastic. We are raising much needed cash for school funds – you can still make a donation online or to the collection buckets. There will be a collection on each gate this evening and more photos uploaded after school.
Thanks to everyone who has been involved in getting the children ready for today.
Lots of different characters arrived at nursery today, there were some Elsa’s, some Matildas, Batman, some pirates, Harry Potter, a butterfly, Pippi Longstocking, Adam’s Aquatic Adventure, a tiger, a policeman, Elmer, Belle, and some superheroes. We also had a really rock and roll princess. Well done everyone for making such an effort you all look fabulous.
We have another crop of mange tout to harvest and devour. Lots of talk about size, taste, flavour, and lots of opportunities to count as we’d left some to develop into peas.
To ensure that we get the best possible training for all staff, we have decided to take a second INSET day at the beginning of the the next academic year.
