On Wednesday 22nd June, on National Windrush Day we remembered and commemorated the contribution of 1st generation migrants from the Caribbean to the UK in the 1945s/1950s. Across the school, we watched a production by the big foot theatre company, who created a film for schools to learn about the mass migration of 500 Caribbeans to Britain to support the nation after the world war. We learnt about Grace and her son and their experiences of coming to England. Following the film the children lead the discussion about their own backgrounds, heritage and their families.
Well done to Aiden in our Nursery, Dillan in Reception H, Samriddhi in Year 1 T, Amarii in Year 2 T, Mikel in Year 4 T and Okimma in Year 5 Hall of whom have been awarded Hot Chocolate with the Head next week!!
We have 2 sports days running this year, the one for the Nursery and Reception children on Wednesday 13th July from 2pm – 3pm on the school MUGA, parents are welcome to come along to watch the children participate in a wide range of sporting activities. Then on the Friday 15th July we will have a sports day at London Fields from the children in years 1 – 6, this is being run with the children from De Beauvoir primary school, who also join us for our wraparound care. We would love it if you could come to support the children and a letter will be going out soon to let you know what team your child/ren will be in. We are keeping families in the same team so you’ll only need to cheer for the one team!
There have been a number of updates on the dates section of the newsletter this week for the end of the year so please make sure you check those out and note them down so you don’t miss out on anything.
