News from Reception

This week, the children have continued to explore the topic, ‘Dangerous Dinosaurs’. They were particularly excited to discover a mysterious parcel that arrived on Tuesday morning. The box had interesting words on it like ‘fragile’ and ‘handle with care’, along with pictures of dinosaur skeletons. Using these clues, the children predicted the contents of the box. When they finally opened it, the children were surprised to find some fossilised dinosaur eggs. This sparked some fantastic discussions and writing about what may have hatched from these eggs millions of years ago. In addition to this dinosaur exploration, the children have enjoyed making their own dinosaurs at the creative table.

On Wednesday, the children presented themselves beautifully during our walk to church to celebrate Ash Wednesday. Some of our Reception children wrote prayers, which they read out with confidence in front of the congregation. All of the children sang beautifully and had a wonderful time participating in this special event.

Choir Showcase

On Wednesday, the Upper School Choir performed at Harrow Arts Centre as part of the Harrow Music Service (HMS) Choir Showcase event along with 8 other schools. They sang the ‘Bare Necessities’ with confidence and then entertained the audience in French with ‘Ce rêve bleu’ (Whole New World) from Aladdin. C’était magnifique! Nos enfants sont fantastiques et vraiment bilingues. Our favourite songs from the other schools were ‘Make your own kind of music’ by Alexandra School and ‘Popular’ by St John’s.

It was a long evening and the staff team were very proud of the choir’s high standard of behaviour and singing. Well done choir and thank you to all our adult support.

News from Year 6

Before half term, Year 6 participated in Harrow’s Junior Citizenship Scheme where they met with the police, fire fighters, nurses and Transport for London.

They learnt all about fire safety, how quickly fire spreads and what to do if they find themselves in such a situation. The police discussed road safety, electric scooters and e-bikes alongside how to deal with certain situations on public transport.

The nurse discussed the dangers of certain substances, their legality and possible impact on the children’s future.

Jiya, Euonymus class: “It was a really good experience to learn about safety as we move to a new school. We were reminded not to take things from strangers because it could be something illegal and this can lead to us getting in trouble.”

Malik, Euonymus class: “I really enjoyed learning how to protect ourselves during a fire. One thing I learnt was to never keep my phone under my pillow when charging as this can lead to an explosion and then a bigger fire.”

Blessed Ramadan

Wishing a blessed Ramadan to the Muslim families in our community as the holy month begins.

A time for fasting, prayer, reflection, and giving—may it bring peace, health, and togetherness to all observing.

News from Year 4

On Wednesday 5th February, Year 4 visited the Shri Sithi Vinayagar Temple in Harrow. The temple was founded in 2001 and children had the opportunity to ask questions, such as ‘why are there so many candles?’ ‘ How often do you have festivals’ before being shown around the temple, observing a ritual given by the priest and sketching what they saw inside.

Show Your Individuality Day!

On Friday 7th February, it will be Show Your Individuality Day! This is an opportunity to raise money for Place2Be!
