Y6 Prom 2022
Our year 6 students certainly know how to have a good
time!
We were delighted to provide students with an
opportunity to enjoy their final days in primary school
with a Year 6 Prom. They have endured a difficult and
uncertain couple of years in their primary school
experience, but they have faced these challenges with
resilience, good humour and genuine consideration and
care for their peers. They have been an absolute
credit to the school.
We had an evening of food, dancing and prizes!
Thank you to all the staff involved in making it such a
successful evening for our students.
As part of the end of year trips, 5/6 and 6 went to the natural history museum on June 6th to look
at all the fossils and to take part in a Dino dig workshop. It was a great day and the children be-
haved exceptionally.
Code Club A Great Success
Code Club has been great this term! Children in
year 6 have been practicing their coding skills
using Python and HTML. These sessions are
run by our digital leaders who are pupils with
fantastic computing and leadership skills!
Fantastic Work in Reception
Camila’s great summary of The Gingerbread Man
won the Head Teacher’s Award. Congratulations!
Hockey Stars
Two of our Year 6 children, Kirk and Tumelo, recently
represented Lambeth in the London Youth Games Hockey,
which is amazing given they’ve only been playing for 2 years.
Tumelo was made one of Spencer Lynx Hockey’s 3 Lynx
Champions at the end of his 2 years with them, awarded to
children with the most potential and commitment to the sport.
A massive congratulations to all our Stars of the Week this term!

TimesTable Rockstars School Champion

done Kirk! Who will take Kirk’s spot next year? Get practicing!
During the last half term year 5 had been learning about the ancient Greeks and their
impact on modern civilisations. They learned: Who were the Ancient Greeks?
Their contributions include Democracy the
Olympic games, Gods and Goddesses and the
Battle of Troy and made comparisons with
today and the impact the ancient Greeks have
had on western life.
They learned about Gods and Goddesses such
as Athena and the Parthenon temple that was
dedicated to her. This inspired some of the
children to build replica models of the
Parthenon and paint and make models of
ancient Greek vases.
They rounded up their learning with a class
assembly performance, showcasing what they had learned by reciting a poem, singing a
song and reading out useful facts about the Greeks.
Year 1 Newsletter
In year one this year we have worked hard and learned lots.
In Science we learned about the weather and know that ev-
ergreen trees stay green all year and deciduous trees
change with the seasons. In RE we have learned about
Christianity and Judaism. Geography taught us about where
we live and our place in the world. Mary Anning was one of
our history topics, she was a famous palaeontologist who
found fossils. In maths we have learned so many things but
our favourite topic was unequal and equal groups. Equal
groups have the same amount in them but unequal groups
do not. We also went on a school trip to Battersea Park Chil-
dren’s zoo which we loved but most of all we loved our
learning in English. We learned so much and are very proud
of our work. Here are some examples of our work.
The zoo
One scary night there was a huge hog running away.
He had escaped from a huge zoo.
Something happened.
There was a shadow in the shape of an orangutan following
him.
It was an orangutan.
The hog and orangutan decided to have a race.
They ran to a pig and then ‘BOOM’ they crashed!
Then they chased some chickens.
Suddenly they got some more energy.
This energy made them run faster than any other animal.
They kept running to get the prize.
The prize was an Easter egg and a golden bunny.
“Quick” said the orangutan the volcano is beginning to
erupt
“Volcano!!!!. ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH” said the hog.
They both quickly ran but the lava was rising to the top.
The hog and orangutan ran again, this time they ran to the
top of the world.
They saw a bird here and they all went into space.
They all got a magical handshake and did somersaults on a yellow shiny UFO.
The hog and orangutan then got caught in a thunderstorm as they came back to earth.
When they got back to their zoo, it was brand new!

Dear Avana
I am going to the park, ask your mum if you can come with me.
If she says “no” then maybe I can come to your house.
We can play lots of games and invite my other friend Lisa.
We should all have a play date.
You eat lots of food on a play date.
Let’s bring our favourite teddies too.
We can bring all of favourite food too.
It’s going to be so, so, so, so, so much fun on our play date.
And then we can go to the fun fair and then play and then go to Flip out.
And then we could go and make donuts.
After that we could go to Mc Donald’s.
I really hope we can have a play date.
Lots of love
Ayse
My holiday
One cold day me and my mum went to the theatre to see Frozen one.
Some of it was different to the film.
I went to see it in the evening and I was so excited. I didn’t know when to stop talking.
When it started the lights turned off so I could see better. I really like watching Frozen, it was
fun.
After the show, it was night time and me and my mum went to an American candy shop.
It had lots of crazy candy in it and a big lolly pop dummy.
It also had some cute fluffy cuddlies in it.
After that me and my mum went to pizza hut.
We ate pizza and chicken and it was delicious.
I had a good holiday,

Goldilocks and the three bears
Once upon a time Goldilocks ran way from her house.
She found a small little house.
She knocked on the door three times but no one was in.
So she went in. She was very hungry and saw three bowls of porridge.
She tried the big bowl and said “this is so hot”.
Next she tried the medium one. “No, this is too cold”.
Then she tried the last one. “This is perfect”.
She was so tired so she sat on the big chair. “this is too big”
She then tried the medium chair “this is too soft”
She then tried the last one “this is perfect” and then it broke
…”oh no”
Goldilocks then went into the big bed, it was too hard.
Then the medium bed, but it was too soft.
Then she tried the last one and it was perfect.
She fell asleep.
The three bears came home and they saw everything was different. They were angry.
They scared Goldilocks.

Our Experience at Thomas’ Foundation
Firstly, on Thursday 14th was very fun as we launched water bottle rockets
using bike pumps for air pressure and they went very high. We used Bunsen
Burners to melt different types of materials such as crisps, aluminium foil, a
wooden splint and paper and separated the minerals from Martian soil.
On Friday 15th, we used
protractors to navigate where
aliens, camps, landing pads and
spaceships would be in space. We
also made a dance about space,
which we liked the most.
We have enjoyed the experience at
Thomas’. The subjects we have
been learning about are:
Mathematics, English, Science, Art
and P.E., however, science was our
favourite out of all the subjects. In
science, we learnt that the hotter
the water the faster a vitamin c tablet can melt. In English we have learnt about
Shakespeare. We did paintings of a fish in art. It was a 10/10 experience.
