Today Year 6's Design and Technology project reached its climax. Year 6 have been designing and building transport that can carry and protect a free-range egg. They solved lots of problems over the weeks and all successfully built a vehicle that could move and also protect its precious cargo. Today was race day, and we saw how well they could move over some difficult terrain. It was a fun afternoon and a great afternoon was had by all!
All Around The World Wow Day.
Reception brought the Indian story of No Dinner to life this week and had so much fun in doing so. We made and ate Indian Samosas. We had a visitor play an Indian instrument called the Tabla, a singer sing in Tamil and our parents reading stories in their own languages. We celebrated our own heritage too by dressing in colours of our family's flag or wearing cultural dress. What a wonderful day we had!
During this half-term we have had Spurs Foundation in school supporting reading and teachers in PE. They also presented a book from Marcus Rasford's "You are the Champion" which was given by the Premier League to each child in Year 6 to encourage children to become more resilient.
Thank you to Nathaniel and Cristian from Spurs Foundation who have been supporting this programme with the children.
Primary Stars reading programme has been coming to St Edmund's this half-term to support Year 3 and Year 4 with reading and in their PE Lessons. Thank you to the Tottenham Hotspur for supporting our children with this fantastic programme.
We recently celebrated Chinese New Year throughout the school in a variety of ways. Have a look at just some of the fun we got up to!
Reception learnt all about Chinese food, while Year 1 made lots of red decorations.
Year 2 enjoyed learning about Ribbon Dances and did some of their very own.
In Year 6, the children used the xylophones to create sound stories.
At St Edmund's we know how important it is to show and teach others about our own cultural heritage but also to learn and foster an understanding for other cultures.
Some children in Year 2 and Year 4 discussed why we should learn about Chinese New Year and celebrations around the world. Here's what some of the children said:
“If you ever visit the countries you will know all about them and it’s very interesting.”
“It’s good because you learn about other traditions.”
“You can learn lots about the rest of the world not just about your own.”
“You can share about your own, so people understand and learn more.”
Today all pupils across the school have been celebrating the magic of maths during our 'Number Day'. The purpose of the day was to raise awareness for the NSPCC, whilst also continuing to raise the profile of maths within our school. Pupils came in wearing clothes with numbers on, and spent the afternoon playing the board games they each had to make for homework.
A fantastic day has been had by all.
Thank you to Miss Roberts, who has organised and led today's activities.
