Year 6 Visit the London Docklands Museum

Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the London Museum Docklands this week. The trip brought their learning to life, allowing pupils to explore fascinating exhibits, deepen their understanding of London's history, and engage with artefacts from the past. The children represented the school brilliantly and they returned full of enthusiasm and new knowledge. Zainab said, "My favourite part was the treasure hunt, because it made me look really closely at the exhibits. It was fun finding the answers and learning new facts as I went around the museum." Zahir added, "I really enjoyed learning more about the British Empire and World War Two. Seeing the different artefacts helped me understand what we have been learning about in class."

UEL Basketball Competition 

Some of our Year 5 and 6 pupils recently had the exciting opportunity to take part in a basketball workshop at UEL SportsDock with NBA coaches. During the visit, the children participated in a coaching session that helped them develop and consolidate the skills they have been learning in basketball club.

After the workshop, the pupils had the chance to watch a basketball finals game, where they saw high-level skills and tactics in action!

RSHE Consultation 

As you may be aware, the Department for Education (DfE) has released updated statutory guidance for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE). All schools in England are required to update their policies and curriculum to align with this new framework by 1st September 2026.

This consultation is an opportunity for you to hear directly from leadership, view our lesson resources firsthand, and ask any questions you may have.

If you are interested, we are running two identical sessions, so you only need to attend one:

• Session 1: Tuesday, 9th June, 2:30pm – 3:15pm
• Session 2: Wednesday, 10th June, 2:30pm – 3:15pm

To ensure we provide a large enough space and can seat everyone comfortably, please take a moment to fill out our Google Form to indicate which session you plan to attend.

Reception Maths Workshop 

A reminder to Reception parents to attend our maths workshop on Wednesday 10th June at 9am. The workshop will include a visit to the Reception classrooms to see maths in action. We are looking forward to welcoming you. 

MTC 

Next week, Year 4 have their Multiplication Tables Check, which is a statutory assessment. We have been working very hard to master our multiplication facts and are feeling ready for next week's test! This weekend, please encourage your child to practise and have a go at the games we have previously shared with the children. The results will be shared with families in July. Good luck Year 4!
