Leopard Class entertain with varied assembly

The class of Year 3 and 4s entertained and informed their audience on Thursday with a variety of  snippets about their learning. They told us about the Vikings, magnets and forces, and Anti-Bullying Week through letters, poems, acting and song.
Well done to you all!

Golden Leaf for Reading

Well done to our nominated, great readers: children who practise regularly at home and who are working hard to be confident, fluent book-lovers.

House names: know your city

How well do you know your city? 
The most votes in last week's survey for House names were for places in London. We'll stick with these for at least the term, perhaps the whole year.

After a draw in this morning's assembly, the House colours are now linked to these names, stations in four areas of the city:

EUSTON               WATERLOO               VICTORIA               PADDINGTON

Use the maps to see where your House is based and become familiar with your city. The first House quiz will be based on the less detailed map above. Questions might include:

Which is the red tube line?

Which station is further East: Liverpool Street or Paddington?

Name a station South of the river.

The map below is for those who want to see more detail, including Battersea.

Golden awards for sporty stars

Congratulations to the latest recipients of our Golden Leaf Awards, all recognised for excellence and effort in sports and PE.

Name that 'House'

You may be aware that the children have been allocated a House team to belong to and they may, already, be collecting House Points. The Houses are being used partly to motivate pupils to work hard and behave well, earning points that will reward the winning Houses with 'prizes'. They will also be the basis of Inter-House events and competitions, including art, music, sport, spelling, writing and Maths.

At the moment, the Houses are known by four colours - blue, red, yellow and green - and, whilst these colours will remain, we are also going to name the teams. 
This is where you come in! By completing the short survey below - online answers are automatically collected - you will help us to select the House names.

You can choose from the categories and names below - or suggest your own. Please do join in!

London landmarks/stations: Westminster, Victoria, Euston, Paddington
Local roads: Stewart, Thessaly, Condell, Deeley
Famous British people: Churchill, Victoria, Shakespeare, Darwin
World (civil rights/peace leaders): Gandhi, King, Parkes

Remember, you can choose better names or new categories in the survey. Click 'submit' when you have finished.
