Our Year 1 pupils experienced a gymnastics taster session this week. During this session, children learnt a range of gymnastic rolls, jumps, balances and travelling movements.  The children had lots of fun, showed great courage in trying new things and developed their confidence. Well done gym team!

This week, the Year 2 children thoroughly enjoyed an enriching visit to the Mosque. They were fascinated by its stunning features, gained insight into the significance of prayer, and developed a better understanding of Islamic traditions. The children showed curiosity by asking lots of thoughtful questions. All the children were took time to appreciate the importance of respect and understanding towards others’ beliefs and traditions.

The children in Reception thoroughly enjoyed the yoga workshops at the end of last week, they were keen to join in and Krupa the yoga teacher was very impressed with how quickly the children learnt the different yoga poses. The following poses were taught, downwards dog, cobra, warrior, boat and tree. The children also learnt the word 'Namaste' to begin and end the session.  

With OPAL, we have a really simple mission at our school. For every child to have an outstanding playtime every day, with no exceptions!

Year 1 completed pedestrian training this week. They learnt lots about road safety including how and where to cross the road safely such as at a zebra crossing. It was a very important session which helped children understand how to keep themselves safe around busy roads. 

Hillingdon Council has launched a new campaign to further reduce contamination in residents' dry mixed recycling. 

The 'Top of the Contaminants' campaign asks you to 'just take two seconds to check your recycling', by highlighting the misplaced items most commonly found by our crews during collections. Contamination occurs when items which can't be recycled are put out in your clear bag for collection. If too much contamination is present, it can mean all the recycling is sent to general waste instead. 

If you've been putting any of the items in our top five into your clear bag, it's time to double-check how to dispose of them and help get Hillingdon up the charts for good recycling. Find out more here.
