Y6 MONEYSENSE WORKSHOP

Fri 19 May 2023

On Monday, Garry from Nat West Bank came to talk about how to keep your money safe. We were split up into groups to solve a mystery about someone who had her identity stolen and it was used to take out a loan, without her knowing it. With the skills that Garry taught us, we were able to find out how her identity was stolen. It was so fun and Y6 really enjoyed it.

I told my mum and dad that they really need to be careful when putting in their PIN at the cash point.

I told my dad about how he shouldn’t fall for online scams and check that it really is his bank. By Darcey & Ahmed—Y6

Y6 WORKSHOP—LORDS ONLINE

Fri 19 May 2023

On Monday the 15th, we met Baroness Garden of Frognal in a live meeting. Susan Elizabeth garden supports the Liberal Democrat’s and is Deputy Speaker in the House of Lords. Her husband Lord Garden is also in the House of Lords. The Baroness’s 2 grandsons attended All Saints many years ago. When we were talking to her, she told us that she was really glad that our school is still in good shape.

She kindly let us ask as many questions as we wanted. Some great ones were:

Q Did you always want to be a Baroness?

A No, but I was always interested in education.

Q Do you want to be Prime Minister?

A No, it would be too much work.

Q If there was one thing you could change about the world, what would it be?

A Everyone would have to be kind to each other.

We found the meeting very inspiring and insightful. We got to learn more about her and Parliament. It was a fascinating meeting which was helped by the fact we have been to the Houses of Parliament.

Coronation Celebrations

Fri 12 May 2023 Ms Wood

What a wonderful coronation celebration we had; it was a real pleasure to join forces with the pupils and staff of St Mary’s, for a picnic lunch and traditional games and activities. We were delighted to welcome the Worshipful the Mayor of Wandsworth, Councillor Jeremy Ambache, who bravely joined a game of rounders on the common. We were also thrilled that our MP, Fleur Anderson was able to find time in her hugely busy timetable to once again visit us—she too took part in the rounders game!

Y5 trip to the Science Museum

Fri 31 Mar 2023

Yesterday, Y5 went on a trip to the Science Museum. We walked around all 4 floors looking at different exhibits such as Space and Medicine before having our workshop in the Wonderlab. In the lab we got to experiment with different materials, objects and were able to touch, smell and play with everything! My favourite was getting spun around like a figure skater. I also loved the friction slides and all of the medicine exhibitions. It has made want to become a doctor! By Lyla

I loved playing with magnets and making my own big marble run! I had to use tubes on a magnetic board and create a huge marble run! By Alex I

I really enjoyed the Wonderlab as it allowed me to explore lots of Science in one room. I loved making wind by pulling myself on a pulley wind turbine! I also loved the Space area as we have already learnt about this! I really want to go to space! By Dalia

My favourite part was the flight exhibit. Here was saw how aeroplanes and the idea of flying has evolved over the last 100 years. It was fantastic and it felt like I was in a real hanger! By Jaian

Nursery River trip

Fri 17 Mar 2023

On Wednesday all the nursery children were lucky to go on a river trip to look for some new life. All were very excited to take part in the trip. First we had to stop on the Common for a snack and were lucky enough to find the perfect spot. It was a very muddy walk! We managed to find lots of different sticks and some even found some branches. Unfortunately we couldn’t carry them back to Nursery. We saw some spring flowers along the way and a few blooming trees. Once at the river we tried to feed the ducks, however there were very few ducks if any. That didn’t stop us from having fun and enjoying a nice sunny walk to the river! All were very tired at the end and happy to be back in Nursery.

Y6 TRIP TO THE THAMES BARRIER

Fri 10 Mar 2023 By Albert & Xanthe—Y6

On Thursday 9th March, as part of our Geography topic, Y6 went over to the Thames Barrier in Woolwich for a visit and a workshop.

We learnt all about how the Thames Barrier has stopped 207 flooding incidents and about what could happen to London if the Barrier wasn’t there. We found out a lot of facts such as: The Thames is one of the cleanest rivers in England and salmon are returning to the river. Another fact is that the maximum speed of the Thames is 2.75 knots. The Thames Barrier was built because of the 1953 flood that drowned the south east coast, it was caused by a perfect storm. They started building it in 1974 and was finished in 1982; the first time it was used was 1983 and was officially opened in 1984 by the Queen.

This was a very interesting trip and it has definitely helped us in geography and our topic on extreme Earth and flooding.

Ash Wednesday

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.
