Celebration Assembly

Celebration Assembly 26 February 2016

Well done to all of these children for their excellent work. These are the children who shared their learning in assembly today and we hope to share this with you via our Blog each week!

Year 5 have been working with the London Borough of Havering to investigate the air quality around the school. They placed Nitrogen Dioxide tubes around the main streets and the park of Upminster. These tubes measured the air pollution.

They also looked at different types of lichens as they indicate air quality. Lichens are a cross between fungus and algae.

After 8 weeks the Nitrogen Dioxide tubes were analysed and they were used to produce a map to show pollution around the school. To improve the pollution around the school it was suggested that we have more plant containers in front of our school.

The children also created leaflets and posters about air pollution. You can see some of the posters in the photo. You can also see the banner that was created using the children's posters. Our school won the competition for the whole of the London Borough of Havering and Aaryan and Isabelle's posters was chosen as the best overall! Fantastic!!

By working on this project the Year 5s have been supporting our School Vision by learning about 'the world around us' and about our 'community'.

Year 3 children shared the vividly colourful rainforest art work and Year 5 shared their Clarice Cliff clay containers. Year 5 will be using these for their World War II Victory Party later in the term.

 Today we also announced our winning success at the Six Nations rugby tournament at Oakfields. That's a big trophy - I think we are going to need a larger trophy cabinet. Well done to all those who took part.

These children all received certificates for passing their music exams. Very well done!

6R have been learning about sequences in gymnastics and have created a video showcase. Also, the video was produced and edited by a pupil in the class - Christopher. Well done everyone - lots of our School Values in action here! (Unfortunately, the video is too large to upload to this Blog).

Year 4 have two classes to share next week. I hear we may be getting some video footage from 4J?
