This week, the children in Year 5 and 6 had the opportunity to sign up and take part in a bike awareness course. The children learnt how to check if their bike is in roadworthy condition, bike and handling skills in the playground and if they were deemed to be confident, they learnt how to safely ride a bike on the local roads. Each child has now also been awarded a certicate for completing the course.

Year 1 to Year 6 took part in the NSPCC - Speak Out, Stay Safe virtual assembly, followed by an activity and pupil survey.

October is Black History Month! Today each class took part in the Picture News special Black History Month assembly. This year's theme is 'Standing Firm in Power and Pride.'

Our Year 5/6 children had a cooking and nutrition taster class at Aim North London Academy, where they got to make and bake cookies! All the children showed great teamwork and patience, but most importantly, they learnt many culinary skills in the food and technology room.
Our Key Stage 2 children had a wonderful assembly led by a guest speaker from UK Parliament – Outreach and Education team. The assembly expanded the children's knowledge about the Houses of Parliament is run, the role of a MP and the current Bill that is being discussed in Parliament about the current voting age possibly changing to 16 years old, where children could vote in the next general election. The children used their oracy skills to generate discussion, and we had some excellent and respectful answers.
Today we had our Reading Fiesta, where all the children dived into books and continued to read for pleasure and foster a love for reading. The whole school had an assembly followed by buddy class reading. There was also a scavenger book hunt where the children had to guess the title of a very famous book! Throughout the day, the children participated in various book activities, from classic books, to diverse books and well-known author books. In the afternoon, parents/ carers and families were invited to share a book and read with the children. The teachers demonstrated how reading and fluency are taught and how they can best support at home too.
We also would like to thank Tesco Stronger Starts, Pickled Pepper Books and Angle House Foundation as they awarded the school with a grant, and we have been able to purchase brand-new books for our Reading zone, class book corners and our new outdoor Book Hunt, which is also filled with wonderful books!
