We were thrilled to welcome author Banji Alexander to our school to talk to us about his life as an author. He shared with us his new book called Lockdown Looms - Reggie's Birthday Party and signed some copies for us to enjoy at school. We learned a song to sing with him and really enjoyed his visit.
We had great fun at school celebrating the coronation of King Charles III. The children made crowns, had a picnic lunch and sang to all the school at our Coronation Concert.
On Friday 3rd March we celebrated World Book Day in school. We started and ended the day with a second hand book sale by FOLBA in the hall, they were also selling pastries and refreshments, there was even an opportunity to have your photo taken in front of the sparkly photobooth.
Everyone looked amazing in their costumes, ranging from princess's, wizards, hungry caterpillars there was a fantastic assortment of characters as you can see in the pictures.
On Monday 6th February the choir once again took part in the Young Voices concert at Wembley Arena. They had been busy rehearsing since last October practising a selection of songs and medleys. On the day we travelled by train to Wembley, we had lunch at the Global Buffet restaurant which the children thoroughly enjoyed! We then arrived at the arena in time for the afternoon rehearsal. The children were really excited and it was a fantastic experience. For the evening show parents came and watched and joined in with the dancing from Urban Strides, also performing were the Beat Box Collective, violinist Anna Phoebe and the very talented Heather Small with whom the children sang her famous song "Proud".
Thank you to everyone who donated food for our Harvest food collection. This year our donations were again taken to the Hillingdon Food Bank by Lawrence Rand Estate Agents, where they were greatly appreciated. They were collected in a van and some of our Year 6 House Captains pupils helped to load it up. The photos show your donations at the food bank.
