House gymnastics, dance and uni-hockey

Sainsburys School Games/ House sports competition

Last half term, students competed in a gymnastics competition where houses of each class had to create and perform their own partner sequences. As always, these house points will contribute to the final Sainsbury's School Games event of the academic year in summer.  This half term pupils will take part in basketball and cricket competition.

House captains and vice-captains

Welcome to our House captains and vice-captains: voted for by their House team-mates, they will be responsible for helping to organise and manage inter-House events.

Film Night for winning House

Waterloo House, the team that accumulated the most points last term, celebrated with their Film Night reward tonight (from 5.30 to 7.30pm). With popcorn and soft drinks, the children from Years 1 to 6 seemed to enjoy being in school at an unusual time with Ms Doyle and Mr Beazeley. In fact, some looked like they were here for a sleepover!

 

Inter-House Sport

Sainsburys School Games Mark

The school is working towards the Sainsburys Schools Games Mark - Silver Award for the 2015-2016 academic year.  Part of the criteria requires children in KS2 to take part in intra class sports competition.  With that in mind, KS2 pupils will take part in a inter House sports competition throughout the academic year, culminating in an end of a year Games Day.

The first of these events were a netball and an athletics tournament resulting in the following winners:

Class           Netball House winners

Well done to all students.

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.

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.
