Parent Volunteers

A big shout-out to our team of dedicated parent volunteers who have not only been keeping active with their step counts, but have also supported a wide range of educational visits, from Rooftop Gardens in Canary Wharf to Cineworld to Manor Park Library. We couldn’t provide these wonderful opportunities for our children without your incredible support—thank you all so much!

Many of you will also be helping with swimming after the Easter break, which Ms Panks (Year 3 lead) is overseeing and coordinating. Thank you again for your continued commitment and enthusiasm!

Phone Safety

We’d like to urge families to take extra caution when collecting children from school, as incidents of pickpocketing are still occurring in the local area. Unfortunately, several parents have recently been targeted during collection times, so please remain vigilant and keep your belongings, including mobile phones, secure.

Holiday Fun for Families in London

During the holidays, there are lots of exciting activities taking place across London for families to enjoy. From Easter egg hunts and park activities to museums, shows and outdoor events. Some activities are free, while others may require payment. Check out this link for more ideas. 

Easter Holiday Free & Low-Cost Meals for Children 

During the Easter holidays, there are several places across Newham, Tower Hamlets, and Barking & Dagenham offering free or low-cost meals for children. Please check this poster for details and locations if your family could benefit from extra support over the break.

Digital Wellbeing
Supporting children’s digital wellbeing means helping them understand how being online can affect their emotions, relationships and overall wellbeing. Encouraging regular conversations, setting healthy routines and promoting a balance between online and offline activities can help children develop positive habits and feel more in control of their digital lives.

Year 4 Thames Trip

As part of their Geography learning next term, Year 4 will be going on a river cruise along the Thames. We ask families to please login to Arbor for more information.

The trip dates are: Wednesday 6th May (4G), Thursday 7th May (4M), and Friday 8th May (4S).

Ms Patel and 1P

Ms. Patel will soon be starting her maternity leave, and we wish her all the best! We are excited to welcome back Ms. Islam to the class, who the children know well. She will also be supported by Ms. Begum, so the children’s wellbeing and learning will continue to be well-looked after by familiar staff.

Year 2 Workshop

Year 2 enjoyed an exciting Science workshop this week all about plants. The children planted sunflower seeds, created bees to learn about pollination using glitter, and even explored non-popping bubbles that stuck to their hands and faces—lots of fun was had by all!
