Helen from Streets Food Project came to worship at Lighthouse London yesterday to say thank you to the pupils for their Harvest Festival Donations. She shared slides with the pupils showing how her team had made up food parcels for the local community. Helen’s team includes refugees, who volunteer because they want to support others in need.
Well done everybody for supporting this local charity.
Thank you to Jemima and Murray from Lighthouse London for running an engaging worship celebrating Black History Month. The pupils always enjoy the music and songs that they bring with them.
Jemima, has also been very busy visiting Key Stage 1 RE classes this week. Here she is helping Year 1 pupils to understand the Creation story.
Years 3 & 4 visited London Contemporary Dance School yesterday, where they were put through their paces by a member of staff. They also watched dance students during their lessons and feedback sessions. The visit was part of the programme pupils enjoy as part of our partnership with The Place.
The Lighthouse will be putting on a Light Party again this year. Last year, pupils really enjoyed the range of activities on offer, so get your tickets and pop along to the church to join in the fun!
Please note tickets must be purchased from the Lighthouse church, not the school office.
Dear parents/carers,
I received this lovely message from Helen at Streets Food Project regarding your Harvest Festival donations:
Just a reminder that Jemima, our Children’s Pastor at the church, runs a parent and toddler group every Wednesday at Lighthouse on Finchley Road. Do pop along if you want to meet other parents with children of a similar age in the area.
The pupils had a great time meeting poet Kate Wakeling. Kate visited classrooms to perform her poetry and support pupils to write their own. At the end of the day, the pupils enjoyed a fun interactive assembly. Thank you to Kate for coming in.
We aim to raise our pupils aspirations by bringing them into contact with successful individuals from a range of professions.
Well done to the Year 3 and Year 4 pupils who took part in the cross country run on Hampstead Heath. Each pupil was challenged to meet their personal target, whilst encouraging their schoolmates along the way. Thank you to the parents who supported the pupils at the event. I am sure all of them appreciated you cheering them on.
Thank you to Year 6 for helping to carry all the Harvest Festival donations over the The O2 Centre yesterday. Their ‘bingo wings’ have had a very good work out this week with all those tins!

Thank you to all the families who donated food for our Harvest Festival. We are so grateful for your generosity and I am sure that Streets Food Project will be too. We are all feeling the pinch in our pockets at the moment, but once again you have shown what it means to live well together.
It was great to see parents at the service to share in the children’s poems and prayers. We hope you enjoyed the Harvest Samba Song – it’s an old favourite!
Tomorrow ‘Operation Streets Food Project’ will take place! The older pupils will be helping to transport all of our goodies over to the O2 Centre to demonstrate the Christian value of service to others.
