Road Safety Work Shop


On Thursday we had some visitors who performed a play about a boy called Arron that was run over. It was a true story which happend in 2004/2005. We did some activities and roll plays. They also told us to always make eye contact with the driver whenever we are crossing the road to make sure they are aware of us. We also learned about the different types of pedestrian crossings in London, such as the zebra, pelican, pegasus and puffin crossings. The workshop was organised by a Hammersmith & Fulham Theatre group.

Spring's here

Spring is here! It’s lovely and sunny and all the flowers are open and the trees have got blossoms on them. The playground is very colourful now! It might not be so hot now but it will hopefully get hotter. When it was hot is was really nice and the birds were singing and everybody was having a nice time playing in the sunshine. They were playing in the park and having an ice cream. Some children even had water fights because I did and it was very cold but I warmed up after a while.

On Thursday 12th Year 6 went to the Houses of Parliament. We learned about democracy and what you have to do to become MP. They showed us around the House of Commons, The Houses of Lords and where the Queen signs the bill. They also showed us the statues of the old prime ministers and we weren’t allowed to sit down on the chairs that the MPs sit down on. They also showed us how the MPs would debate topics that are important to the country in order to make laws. We finished the lovely afternoon by going to the park and having our lunch.
