Dear parents,
This week has been assessment week and the children have been working their hardest in these papers. Parents will be getting a report at the end of term but also parents evenings in the week of 16th March to discuss their child’s progress so far in the year. We take a comprehensive look at your child’s development not only from summative data but how they have working on an ongoing basis in classes.
In addition to getting their heads down in the tests, a number of year groups have had some fun and enriching trips in London linked to their learning. On Tuesday, Year 6 went to The Ragged School Museum to discover what it was like to be a pupil in the Victorian times. They experienced a real lesson in a 19th century schoolroom complete with a very strict teacher! Also on Tuesday, Year 2 visited the local Sikh Gurdwara. They were warmly hosted and found out about the significance of elements of the Sikh faith.
On Wednesday, Year 4 visited the Buddhapadipa Temple in Wimbledon to find out about the Thai Buddhist tradition from the monks there. It really is a beautiful and tranquil setting. Lower School had a Lunar New Year crafts morning also on Wednesday thanks to parents who came in to lead the learning. The children did craft activities linked to the Year of the Horse and other symbols related to the festival.
Today, Mr Gilbert led an assembly on The Beatles. The children found out about how The Beatles changed the face of music and also sang three Beatles classics that have become a regular part of assembly: Let it Be, Across the Universe and Hey Jude. Fab!
