Well done to the KS2 High 5 Netball team, who played 3 matches in the League. We beat Brettenham 5-0 drew with Churchfield 1-1 but lost against Eldon 3-1. They all played really and worked as a team!

Intel Skills for Innovation assembly, workshops and staff training.

Simon and Jake from Intel visited the school to tell us about our future careers - they said no one even knows what they might be because by 2030 85% of the jobs we will be doing don't exist yet!

Year 6 were lucky enough to take part in a half day workshop covering AI, 3D design and robotics. This is what Leon said about the day, "On Monday, it was an extraordinary day because we learnt how to code and control a robot... when I started my work, I saw that all of my class friends are happy and amazed because we all loved coding and controlling a robot."

Simon Johnson from Intel said, "Teaching your students was an absolute delight, and they are a testament to the exceptional environment you’ve fostered at your school."

Year 6's Stations of the Cross service, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to the Year 6 parents and KS1 and KS2 respectively.

Despite both Year 6 teachers being new to the school and having not seen this service take place here, I can honestly say that, in all my years being associated with St Edmund's, it was the best Stations of the Cross I have seen. This was led and organised by Ms Freitas, who brilliantly added some poignant, beautiful touches to further enhance the feeling of sorrow and prayerfulness to the service. The choir, led by Mrs Pope, were outstanding and pitch-perfect in their accompaniment to the retelling of the story and the readers and actors were loud, clear and appropriately sombre. And, because Year 6 set the right tone, the atmosphere from the rest of the school, in both services, was impeccably prayerful and respectful and, thus, understanding of the sadness of the story and Jesus' love for us.

Members of Code Club went on a trip to Tower Bridge. We first went to the Engine Rooms and our guide, Isabel, told us the history of Tower Bridge (we found out it will be 130 years old in June!) and how it works. Then we walked across the high-level glass-bottomed walkways. Some of us didn't like that at all! We even saw a helicopter coming in to land to take part in the Ceremony of the Constable's Dues. 

After lunch in a classroom in one of the 'towers', we put together models of one of the bascules to understand how they work and then we went on Scratch to write the code to raise the bascules. When we left, we were lucky enough to see some of the Royal Marines marching past the Tower of London at the end of the Ceremony. 

It was a very exciting trip!

Well done to the Year 5 and 6 boys football team who played their 3rd round in the Enfield PE League at Power League. They did very well, they won against Edmonton County 1-0, but lost against Highfield. They played really well and could have scored many goals against Highfield and Edmonton County! Our goalie made some fantastic saves- well done! 

Well done to the High 5 Netball team who played at Latymer School for the League. They played 3 matches; Raynham, Wilbury and Hazelbury. They all played brilliantly as a team, making some great passes and creating great goals. We won against Raynham 4-I and Wilbury 4-0, but we lost against Hazelbury 7-3.
