February and March Highlights

February and March Highlights
Between the February snow flurries and the March sunshine, there was much excitement on the sports pitch: a dramatic 18-all netball draw against The Roche for Years 5 and 6; two netball wins against Eveline Day School for Years 3 and 4; our debut in the Chelsea FC Premier League Tournament; an 8-nil football victory against St Anselm’s for Years 3 and 4; a 9-nil hockey victory for Years 5 and 6; and, perhaps most thrilling of all, the winning back of the Consortium Shield by the Year 5 and 6 team at our own Consortium Tournament.
There have been a range of day and residential trips: Year 3 delved through layers of local history at the Wandsworth Museum and enjoyed crazy literary antics at the Roald Dahl Museum; Year 1 dived into the arts at The National Gallery; Year 2 set out on an expedition to acquaint themselves with Captain Scott’s adventures in Antarctica; Years 4 and 5 enjoyed a guided tour of the Houses of Parliament; Years 5 and 6 learnt about Shabbat at the Jewish Museum and went to see the Hockney Exhibition at The Royal Academy as well as enjoying three glorious sunny days of watery adventure on The Norfolk Broads.
Our Themed Day – Junction Day – saw Design and Technology workshops and puzzle and problem solving challenges throughout the school, as well as workshops on cycling safety, worship song writing, reflective art, connections quizzes and more.  Pupils went home having made fully functioning racing cars, monster scuttlers and fairground carousels.
We had a wonderful Diamond Jubilee-inspired 1950s themed World Book Day, which saw all of us transported back to 1952.  Our read-a-thon raised £3634 for Hope HIV.  Congratulations to all – and especially to the highest fund-raisers – Aylward House.
The term ended with a triumphant Easter Concert, full of uplifting songs from the lips of choir and school, with music on piano, recorder, violin and flute, all topped off with tea and hot cross buns. Happy Easter to all!
