Huge thanks to our tireless and talented team of parents (FODJ) who organised this year's summer fair. Smiles of awe, wonder and curiosity were apparent on the faces of all of the children and adults who attended. Thanks also to the children who performed the science-songs with Mega Choir. Special thanks to Ernie for specially composing a song for us to sing about carbon footprints and the impact we all have upon the earth.
​The Summer Fair page will soon be updated with more photos and videos.

Miss Rusbatch Performing in London

20/6/2019

0 Comments

 
Miss Rusbatch is a member of the band SAMBAOKE - mass audience karaoke with a live samba band. They were asked to perform at the Summer by the River Festival last weekend. The fabulous venue was called The Scoop - a huge amphitheatre beside Tower Bridge. Thousands of energetic Londoners and tourists joined the band for a mass singalong to a variety of 'karaoke classics' - the atmosphere was incredible!

Today, we attempted to create a live lyric video for our school song about CNVP (fundamentals of sentence structure). We're hoping the song will be a useful resource in literacy lessons for the younger children in our community, and beyond!
