Today in Year 6, we focused on mental health and discussed why it’s so important to take care of our minds and well-being. We also talked about all the exciting and positive activities we get to experience this year, like the PGL trip, school production, awards assemblies, pizza parties, and of course, the much-anticipated school disco with a DJ!

As part of our lesson, we created personal affirmation posters, filled with messages that are unique and meaningful to us. Some of the affirmations we shared included:

• "I have the strength and faith to overcome any obstacle."
• "I am kind, thoughtful, and make a positive impact on the world."
• "I am supported by my teachers, family, and friends every step of the way."
• "I trust in myself and God to guide me through each new challenge."

We also took the opportunity to celebrate our uniqueness by creating superhero names and designing stickers for ourselves and our friends. For example:

•  Mystic Shield
• Solar Flare
• Earthquake
• Moonlight Archer Blaze Falcon
• Storm Whisperer

Once we had our superhero names, we made special stickers and handed them out to our friends during break time—even some of the teachers got one! It was a fun and uplifting way to remind each other just how special we all are.

We had surprise visitors at the assembly this Tuesday. A member of the Enfield PE team, a Local Councillor and Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, Alev Cazimoglu came to the assembly to present a trophy, certificate and vouchers to the school, as we came first in 'Beat the Street.' The voucher was worth £250, which we will spend on equipment for the playground. Well done to all the pupils that took part!  

Well done to the reception children who had their first sports day. We held it in the KS2 playground and there was a good turnout of parents and even an event for the parents! Well done reception, a fun morning.

Well done to the children who competed in the District Sports at Lee Valley. They took part in various events, like hurdles, relay and different running races. Yr 6 boys came first in the 100m relay. Well done to everyone who took part. A great team effort! 

The Year 5 and 6 girls and boys football team spent a morning at Tottenham Hotspurs' training Ground taking part in a festival run by Tottenham Hotspur. The children had a training session and played friendly games against other schools.

They were each given a gift when they left. The children enjoyed the morning and had fun!

We were treated to a D-Day performance organised and led by Mrs Pearson. Children from Year 5 retold a variety of stories and memories from a range of people from different countries and jobs who had first-hand experience of D-Day, which celebrates its 80th Anniversary on June 6th. The children delivered these memoirs in a way that brought them back to life and particular credit goes to Isabella and Tristan for reciting their given accounts by heart. The readers were accompanied by the choir who, under the direction of Mrs Pope, tunefully and beautifully delivered a range of wartime classics such as 'A Long Way to Tipperary' and 'London Pride'. And the 'London Pride' was clearly on show as our children, who come from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, paid respect and homage to our city's ancestors, whom have enabled the city to be one of freedom and the wonderfully diverse place it is. We were also joined by members of the Leytonstone branch of the Royal British Legion, who do such an important job in ensuring that the efforts of previous generations are not forgotten by our younger generations. They thoroughly enjoyed the show, with Jane Lewis, their youth officer, saying:

  'Your production was fantastic, and the children are a credit to your school community'.

Thank you to all of the parents for coming to watch the performance and for donating to the Royal British Legion. A special word of thanks to Renate, our head chef, for baking a delicious ration cake, which was enjoyed by all! But most importantly, thank you to Yvonne and the children for the weeks of planning, preparing and delivering that went into this wonderful performance.
