Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our KS1 Mother’s Day Services. We hope you enjoyed them.
Year 5 have been finding out how the local area has changed throughout history, using King’s Cross as a case study. They visited the Canal Museum and its surroundings to see how old buildings have been re-developed and now have very different uses.
On Friday Reception went to Hampstead Heath to learn more about the world around them.
Year 2 shared what they have been learning with their families, including their art work inspired by Kandinsky.
Year 2 have had the sweetest visitors this week in the shape of newly-hatched ducklings. The pupils have been learning about the life cycles of animals in their science lessons and watching the ducklings hatch brought this to life for them. Reception class have also been in share in the experience.
Pupils were treated to an exciting programme of dance performances by students from the London Contemporary Dance School yesterday. This is part of the package we enjoy through our partnership with The Place, who are currently working with years 3 and 4 to produce dances that they will perform at the end of term in a real theatre.
Holy Trinity was blessed to have a fabulous structural engineer come in to tell them about her work. Katherine has worked on some very impressive projects around the world, including the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Barcelona and a rolling bridge in London Docklands, which really blew the children’s minds! She was great at explaining how she used maths, science and computing in her work, so the children could see how their learning could be used later in life. What a great role model to learn from on International Women’s Day! Thank you, Katherine.
Thank you to the parents and pupils who put a lot of effort into their costumes on World Book Day. The pupils enjoyed a variety of activities designed to inspire a love of books.
Just a reminder that a cafe and creche is available at Lighthouse London on Finchley Road on Thursday 9th March, if you want to meet other parents in the area.
We hope that parents have enjoyed the class showcases so far this term. I think they demonstrate how teaching a broad curriculum with plenty of enrichment opportunities inspires our pupils.
Reception class enjoyed their storytelling workshop at The National Gallery today. They looked at a number of paintings, including Rousseau’s ‘Suprised!’. This is a painting all the pupils will be familiar with by the end of the year, as it is the focus painting for The National Gallery’s ‘Take One Picture’ project this year.
