Once the hard practising was over with we then hada really fun time playing on all of the swings andslides. We are all so excited for sports day now!

Reception lass had aglorious walk in the woodsthis week in warm, breezysunshine. We set off with ourmagnifying glasses and beadyeyes looking for mini-beastsand managed to findlots, including someinteresting-looking petrolbeetles and grubs with red-

hot and spots skin to protectthemselves from theirpredators. The 32 acres of woodlands and

meadowlands at Mile EndCemetery Park wasspectacular in the sunshineand full of creatures andbeautiful plants and flowers.We had a picnic and a dip intheir pond with their nets andother pond-dipping equipment.Everyone was fascinated at allthe new and different pondcreatures we learnedabout.

Yesterday Years 1, 2 and 3 took a trip to London Zooand it couldnt have been a better day to go. The

weather was glorious and we had plenty of time tosee the creatures we wanted to see.

After lunch and a bit of play, we went to ourworkshop which was all about animals that usecamouflage to survive. The children really impressedme with their knowledge and they loved exploringthe artefacts in the work room.

The travel was quite a challenge, but considering theheat and walking, the children were amazingly calmand happy throughout the day. Press herefor the

slideshow.

On Wednesday, Year 2/3 and Media Club

went to the London Youth Film Awards at

the Stratford Picture House. This was a great

event hosted by our very own Paul Jones

who promotes young peoples film making

in London. We got to watch an amazingvariety of films, from animations to How to

videos, as well as watching all the films

that weve made this year.

David talked about the history of film and

got to play a live piano score to Media

Clubs Silent Film.

Oscar won best actor for his role as Mr Twit.

He and Dolly were both brilliant in our Twits

film and acted using lots of expression. Theirperformances were absolutely hilarious.

We had a great time at the London Youth

Film Awards. It was wonderful to see our films

on the big screen. Well done to all the

children who worked so hard to make these

short films. Hopefully Year 2/3 will be making

some more movies soon. Below is a slide

show of the day and the movies we shared.

Congratulations to the children andteachers for making this a memorable

experience. Presshereto see all the movies

we showed.

Today we had prizes for two reasons: For the EYFS guys, they won a prize if

they had tried something new, and for both classes, this was practise for

Sports Day that we're holding next Tuesday. For the Year 1, 2, 3 children the

focus was to respect privacy and I'm pleased to say that, overall, all thechildren did well, but especially these guys for their continued effort to be

respectful of others.

The certificates this week were for the usual lovely reasons, and there was

some focus on Sports Day preparations and the effort some children put into

this, so well done to you all!

We did not have an Artist of the Week this week as we were all too busy

being out and about, so we chose to award a Sports-person of the Week

and it went to Mabel in Year 1 for always encouraging her friends to do well,

showing determination to do her best and being helpful and kind. Well

done you!

The Musician of the Weekwent to Alfie in Year 1. Paul said that it was great

to see him joining in this week with enthusiasm, learning to sing traditional

country/folk songs 'Home on the Range' and 'Danny Boy' all with a lively

spirit and energetic. He also came up with great ideas when working with a

group. He is enjoying the preparations for this years upcoming summer

show with interesting dance moves to accompany the 'Caucus Race' song.Great work, keep it up! Pressherefor more.

Sun Cream

As the temperature soars and the sun shines on our little ones, please could you ensure you bring a

bottle of sun cream with your child for us to apply during the day? In addition to sun hats andappropriate clothing for this weather, its important that we keep our children hydrated throughoutthe day, and protected from the sun.
