Today we celebrated our wonderful Year 2 Graduation, marking a special milestone in the children's learning journey. It has been a pleasure to watch them grow, learn and achieve so much throughout the year. Their enthusiasm, resilience and kindness have made us incredibly proud. We wish all our Year 2 pupils every success as they move on to the next stage of their education. Congratulations on your graduation and all the amazing memories you have made along the way. Keep shining and reaching for your dreams!

All of the children thoroughly enjoyed their class discos with the DJ. They had lots of fun dancing with their friends, singing along to their favourite songs, and making special memories with both their friends and teachers. It was wonderful to see everyone smiling and enjoying the end of the school year.

Our KS1 Sports Day was a fantastic event, with all the children showing great enthusiasm, determination and teamwork throughout the day. They took part in a range of exciting activities, including the egg and spoon race, relay race, obstacle course and javelin. Every child tried their best, encouraged their friends and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship. It was wonderful to see the children enjoying being active, building their confidence and celebrating each other's achievements. A big thank you to all the parents/careers who came to support and cheer on the children, helping to make the day such a special success.

Today, our Year 1 children enjoyed a special visit to Shree Jalaram Mandir as part of their learning about places of worship. During their visit, they explored the different features of a mandir and discovered why it is an important place for Hindus.

The children looked at key features such as the murtis (sacred statues), the prayer hall, and the arti area. They learned about how people worship and show respect in the Mandir. The visit gave them a wonderful opportunity to ask questions and deepen their understanding.

The KS1 Rights Respecting Ambassadors went on a visit to the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday. They learnt all about Parliament through a special tour which included visiting the House of Commons and seeing a live debate! 

What better way to learn about Article 4: The government has a responsibility to make sure your rights are protected. They must help your family to protect your rights and create an environment where you can grow and reach your potential.

The KS1 Ambassadors also took part in a fun workshop and had a surprise visitor too! Mr McDonnell, MP for Hayes and Harlington came to the workshop and it was so nice for the Ambassadors to talk to him about the work of an MP and what we have been doing at school for the RRSA.

The Reception children had a fantastic time at the ACS Forest School. During their visit, they learnt how to build a fire safely before roasting marshmallows, which they all thoroughly enjoyed. They also worked together in teams to build dens using sticks and branches, developing their problem-solving and communication skills while exploring the great outdoors.

On World Environment Day, the children wrote letters to our local MP, John McDonnell, to share their concerns about issues in the local area. They wrote about ways to reduce waste, encourage people to speak up about environmental issues and travel greener. The six Year 2 children had the opportunity to read their letters aloud to Mr McDonnell during a school assembly. It was a wonderful experience for the children to share their ideas and help raise awareness about caring for our community and the planet.
