The wedding of Miss Williams, Head of Juniors, and Ben Bourne took place on Saturday 5th June.  The school choir were, of course, in attendance and sang beautifully at the wedding making it a very memorable occasion. 

With the appearance of the Grand High Witch this morning at assembly, our story week sadly came to an end.  Not because of the Grand High Witch, but beacuse its Friday and J3 & J4 will be back on Monday.  Plenty has happened and much has been experienced, created and tasted.  Here are a few more photos...

Our J4's have been to France, to Chateau Broutel in the Somme region of Northern France.  This annual event never fails to give the children the most amazing experience, not only physical challenges but cutural encounters and the opportunity to form close bonds with one another.

Yet more has happened around school today.  The children have building rafts to get Ratty & Mole across the river, making their own books, making gingerbread men, acting out Jack and the Beanstalk (and planting beans) and generally just getting into books.  I heard that someone read Esiotrot, by Roald Dahl, in a morning!

Donna from Eureka came to school last Friday as a little extension to our J4's normal curriculum.  She lead the children through 2 games in the morning which enabled them to learn more about how business work and  the pressures and decisions that you face when managing your own money.  Real preparation for the future.

With the children in J3 & J4 away on their residential weeks, the children of Infant 3, J1 & J2 have been getting into all sorts of activities connected with familiar stories and tales.  Mrs Elson and her groups, as you can see, has been reading Percy The Park Keeper and have made their own homes and shelters for animals in the woods.

Our Children in our choirs did us all proud yesterday at the North london Choir Festival.  Children from Infant 3, Junior 1, 2, 3 & 4 sang and behaved fantastically at this annual celebration of music and singing.  Our Probationers (J1) and Little Probationers (Inf3) were actually placed joint 2nd in their age group category.  A magnificent achievement!

As you well know, our teachers are excellent.  Therefore it is with great pride that I would like to share the achievement of one of our members of staff.  Mr. Platt (a very accomplished runner) has achieved 10th place in the WORLD RANKINGS for his age group in Concept 2 Indoor Rowing - as some of you will know, a very competitive environment!

Congratulations to Mr. Platt and we look forward to more of his successes.
