Year 2 Fire Safety Talk - Tuesday 2nd June 2026

 Year 2 Fire Safety Talk - Tuesday 2nd June 2026

On Tuesday, Year 2 had a visit from a representative from the London Fire Brigade, who came to speak to the children about fire safety.

During the session, the children learned about ways to prevent fires from happening and discussed the importance of having a safe escape route in the event of a fire. The visitor also explained what to do if they ever find themselves in an emergency situation.

The children listened exceptionally well throughout the talk and impressed our visitor with their knowledge and understanding. They answered questions thoughtfully and asked some fantastic questions of their own.

We are very proud of the way they represented the school and engaged with this important learning opportunity.

“ I think it takes 15 mins for the fire bridge to come.” - Oscar, Rowan
"You need to turn the candle off before you go to bed.” - Violet, Rowan

"I know that they are also called for other things like people being stuck." Madison, Mulberry

Year 2 - Friday 5th June 2026

On Friday 5th June, Year 2 will need to come to school in their normal school uniform as they are going to the Havering Music Festival. They can bring their non-school uniform in a named bag to change into after. We kindly ask the children to bring in a pink donation on that day (they do not have to wear pink on-uniform). 

As always, thank you for your support.

Year 1: What We Are Learning

 

Year 1: What We Are Learning 

During Art this term, we have been  exploring exciting ways to develop and enhance their watercolour paintings by combining them with a variety of other materials, including chalk, oil pastels and pencil crayons. They have been experimenting with different watercolour techniques, learning how colours can blend, layer and create beautiful effects. The children showed fantastic creativity and enthusiasm throughout the project, and they are incredibly proud of the amazing artwork they have produced. Their finished pieces are full of colour, texture and imagination! 

Year 1 ALSO… 

This week in RE we have been bringing all our learning together from the last five weeks. We shared a wonderful story about a curious boy who peeks through a keyhole to discover what is hidden inside both a church and a mosque. We talked about the special features, symbols and objects he might spy inside these buildings.

 The children then drew their very own views of what they would see if they peeked into a church or a mosque. They did a fantastic job remembering the things we have explored over the last five weeks. 

This week in Science, Year 1 pupils explored the trees in our school. The children went on a walk around the school field, where they observed and identified different types of trees. They practised using their observation skills carefully and learnt that trees can be recognised by features such as their leaves, bark and shape. 

Well done Year 1 for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
