Year 5 enjoyed an informative and interactive tour of the Docklands Museum. They looked at the history of the Thames and its uses through the ages, as part of their geography learning, and travelled back in time to when the Docks were the epicentre of trade in London as part of their history learning. Well done Year 5!

Year 1 took a walk around the Olympic Park to locate landmarks in our local area. They matched these to a map as part of their geography learning. Well done Year 1.

Our 3 year old nursery has settled back into school beautifully. The mix of returning 3 year olds, those joining nursery from the 2 year old room, and new to nursery children, provided some excellent role models who have been able to share how the routines and learning work. It has been lovely to see such a kind, welcoming and engaging environment embrace some new faces who already look like they know the ropes. Well done Nursery team and families. #keepkind
