Message from Jo and Rachel
It’s been another lively and inspiring week at school. The Sustainability Squad teamed up with Hackney’s climate officer to deliver a fantastic whole-school assembly all about air pollution. The children were fascinated by the big impact small changes can make—and they asked some absolutely brilliant questions too!
Year 3 had an exciting trip to the Sir John Soane’s Museum as part of their science topic on rocks and soils. It was a huge hit—one child even said it was the best place she’d ever visited!
A big well done to all our children from Year 1 to Year 5 for tackling assessment week with such focus and determination. We’re really proud of them.
We are looking forward to the Hackney Singing Festivals next week. Reception, Year 2 and Year 4 will be taking part. It has been lovely listening to them practising their songs.
And finally, with the sunshine sticking around, we’re reminding everyone to stay safe in the heat—hats, water bottles, and sun cream (applied before school).
Have a lovely weekend.
Jo and Rachel
