• Ash Wednesday

  Fri 24 Feb 2023

  On Wednesday, the whole school marked the beginning of Lent and our journey towards Easter with a special worship for Nursery,  Reception, Y1 & Y2 and then our KS2 Eucharist.  They were wonderful experiences and it was a privilege to ash the children, alongside Rev’d Daniel.  The children also took a great deal from it.   Ms Wood

  Ash Wednesday is a special day because it's after pancake day and it's the start of Lent. Reverend Daniel put ashes on our foreheads in the shape of the cross. Emanuel—Y2

  We wrote what we are sorry for and then Reverend Daniel burnt the pieces of paper and used it to ash our foreheads.​ We sang a song about some things I wish I hadn't said, done and thought. Judah—Y2

   "We had a cross on our forehead." Theo—YR

  "Daniel burned the paper for a fire." Lura—YR

• Mental Health Week

  Mon 06 Feb 2023 Mrs McGrath

  This week our Assembly on Monday 6th February, was highlighting  Children’s Mental Health Week.  Introducing the All Saints’ C of E School, Care Bear Club of ELSAs,   the theme was ‘Let’s Connect’. We have also been discussing and working on class activities about healthy connections, who are within our safety net. We are encouraging young people to connect with others in healthy, rewarding and meaningful ways.

  On Friday we wore our scarves to school. Pictured are the children  using them to represent our invisible string, connecting us to others. We all had a lovely time discussing the benefits of connecting to     others or being the connection for others. 

   

  

• Y6 trip to the Houses of Parliament

  Fri 03 Feb 2023 Y6

  On Monday 30th January, as part of their learning on Democracy &  Citizenship, Year 6 were very lucky to have a tour and a workshop at the Houses of Parliament.

  Here are some amazing facts that they learnt!

  Did you know:

  - the King comes to the Houses of Parliament once a year, to the House of Lords to give a speech? (Albert)

  - King Henry VIII used to live in the Palace of Westminster and played  tennis in Westminster Hall? (Elim)

  - Margaret Thatcher was the first female Prime Minister? (Belle)

  - only if you are elected to be an MP or a Lord are you allowed to sit in that chamber? (Karim)

  - there are 650 MPs? (Ahmed)

  - there are hanging microphones in both chambers? (Edward)

  - there are 339 steps in the Elizabeth Tower? (Cameron)

  - the Lords' seats are red and the Commons' seats are green? (Archie)

  Year 6 would also like to say:

  I loved all the statues and was looking at them carefully. It was my favourite workshop! (Maddi C)

  I enjoyed the debate about when we voted if things were Fair or Unfair. I liked watching the video about the suffragettes. (Maddie W)

  I learned how I can vote, when and if I can sit in Parliament when I am older. I loved being in the House of Lords and seeing all the gold. (Amelie)

  ​Fleur Anderson (our MP for Putney) came to chat to us and told us about a suffragette that hid in a cupboard in the Westminster Hall during the Census. (Xanthe)

  When I'm older, I want to be a Member of Parliament! (Kimora)
