Bute House

       On Wednesday 8^th July year 5 went to Bute House to sing six different songs.  The songs were: Eye of the tiger, Clown, Fix you, Danny boy and Respect.  Six different schools came and personally I think we sang the best. Some parents and adults who went to the event with us even had tears of joy in their eyes. We felt very proud!

Year 6 Visits Fulham

Following our workshop, Fulham has kindly taken us on a tour around their stadium! We were shown the dressing rooms (Fulham has cheekily made theirs more convenient), the stadium and Craven Cottage, a listed building next to the stadium. We also were lucky enough to sit in the managers’ seats! The trip to the stadium was educational and exciting, definitely one of my favourites!

No Sports Day Today

Unfortunately, the weathers of doom has struck us and made us cancel Sports Day for the second time. The next date has not been confirmed yet we are all hoping there will be a further date.

The Fulham Workshop!

For the past 3 weeks there has been a visitor talking to Yr. 6 about what it’s like to be a manager in a football club!  There are many different managers such as: a retail manager, a finance manager, a catering manager, a marketing manager and a hospitality manager. We have learned how difficult it is to be a part of a football community. We made our own inventions for people to buy! Some of our ideas were a football thermos or a brand new football camera case! Overall, everyone had a wonderful time and it was a fun experience!

Outside Chance Workshop

Seeing as Year 6 are going to need a lot more responsibility and guidance now they’re moving on to secondary school, Ian and his colleague from the ‘Outside Chance’ workshop recently came over and taught us about every detail of gangs, arrests, crimes and joint enterprise. He told us that joint enterprise is when a gang commits a crime as a group, or even when a gang witnesses a gang member committing a crime. I definitely learned a lot, even when it got a bit scary! The workshop definitely made me feel more confident about making the right decisions, though. 

Bute house Choir Festival

This week year 5 had a special music teacher come in to teach us some new songs and help us learn the lyrics to 6 different songs.  There are several schools involved in this event.  We are competing to see which school stands out the most because of their outstanding singing abilities.  There are no prizes, unfortunately, for the winner, however, whoever wins will gain loads of confidence, especially when performing in front of loads of people. We are attending this event on Tuesday 8^th July 2014. We are very busy practicing.     

Practicing For the End of the Year Concert!

Everyone in school is currently practicing for the end of the year concert. Yes, it is coming very quickly. It may have been a quick year for some people! We Year 6 are nearly going to say goodbye! The theme is summer. The songs have been chosen, however, we will only share them with you in two weeks!

Year 2 get a taste of India

On Wednesday 18^th of June, a student’s mum and I came to Year 2 to show facts about India. The student’s mom came to show Year 2 how to wear a sari. The students found it fascinating. They learned many facts like that a sari is 5 meters long! Even though it was a girl’s dress, some boys were eager to wear it! They also got to try an Indian sweet called ludo. I showed Year 2 a South Indian instrument called Mridagam. Everyone was shocked and impressed because my fingers were moving very fast. The  students had many questions. Some of them were: how do you move your fingers so fast? Or when did you start learning it? Overall, everyone found it fun and they have learned many fascinating facts about India.
