Nursery and Reception pupils had a visit from some exotic reptiles and insects from far-flung corners of the globe this week and we were full of admiration at their courage when stroking tarantulas, handling snakes and getting up close to some giant insects! #Courage #Curiosity

It was a busy schedule of performances for our young musicians and singers last week with a Recorder recital by Y2, Djembe drum performances by Y5, a Strings Ensemble concert, and our Chamber Choir's performance at Eltham College's wonderful concert at Blackheath Halls. Bravo!

We set Year 6 pupils a challenge to Make £10 Grow and our young entrepreneurs did an incredible job with their business plans and handmade gifts, raising an amazing £1,315 at their Makers Market. Proceeds will go to @FlyingSeagullUK and Greenwich Wildlife Network. Well done Y6!

This week is Windows into Learning, an opportunity for our pupils to share their learning in class with their parents. We started the week with our Nursery and Reception pupils who excitedly involved parents in the many fun activities they get up to each day in class! #Curiosity

We place high value on the benefits of reading, and the pleasure a good book can bring. With over 20,000 books on our school site, pupils have plenty to choose from in our beautiful school Library and their individual classroom libraries. Happy #WorldBookDay!
