Bethany from 5HT and her sister Naomi sent us these fantastic photos of them having lots of fun.  They  enjoyed a morning at their allotment, collecting eggs (not the mini ones), sledging and drinking hot chocolate.

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. The last week at Southwark saw Nursery and Reception put on a Christmas Nativity play which was superb. We also had 2 fantastic Christingle and Carol concerts featuring our wonderful choir and a dance by some members of year 3. Well done to all who took part.

Year 1 have been learning about sound and a scientist from Mad Science came in to start things off with bang! Read all about it on 1HF’s blog here.






Year 2 have been looking at how they can keep Spongebob Square pants healthy! They have looked at food, exercise, teeth and much much more! Have a look at 2SC here , 2PB here and 2CJ here..






Year 3 have been looking at Skeletons read all about 3AH’s experience here and be wowed by 3SW’s facts here.






In year 4 they have been answering the question “How could you move an elephant across the playground?” read about what they found out here.
