Headteacher’s Message It has been such an exciting week! We had a visiting celebrity (who was very impressed with our school). Freshwater theatre group inspired our KS1 pupils, Garfield College continued to enthuse our KS2 pupils and it’s our Christmas Fair. What a week! Wishing you all a happy weekend. Ms Karen Khwaja
Melvin Odoom We were very lucky to have the
famous Melvin Odoom join us on
Monday for our assembly.
We all got the chance to ask him
questions. He told us his life story
and about how hard he had to work.
Did you know that he has to get up at
4.30am every day for work?
He showed us some of his dance moves such as the robot, which was the
best. Many lucky children won prizes for performing in front of the
school. He said that he loved R&B and hip hop music which we love
too. He brought his trophy from Strictly Come Dancing which he won
at the Christmas Special dressed up as an elf.
Melvin was great fun and we will be listening to him on Kiss FM radio.

Year 1 and 2
Freshwater Theatre Great Fire of London On Tuesday, Years 1 and 2 enjoyed an interactive production about "The Great Fire of London'. The children were taken back in time and learned about what life was like in 1666. They met Samuel Pepys, the Mayor and Thomas Farrynor.
It was good fun and everyone participated in bringing history alive.

ECOLOGY COMMITTEE This week, the Ecology Committee commenced. The club includes
13 children from Years 2-6. In our first meeting, we discussed what
we have already achieved as a school and what we hope to achieve
throughout the year. We are also very proud to announce that we
have attained the Silver award for Ecology from the Eco Schools
programme that we follow. Well done to all the children that
worked hard in the Eco Committee to help get the award.
Miss Pericleous
Ecology Leader
Gymnastics Festival On Tuesday and Wednesday, gymnasts from Years 3 and 4 took part
in the Enfield Schools Gymnastics Festival, a big competition
featuring many schools from around the borough. The children had
to perform a floor sequence and the vault in front of a panel of
judges. The gymnasts have been working really hard towards
preparing for this. After overcoming some early nerves about
performing, they did themselves and the school proud.

PE Teacher and PE Leader
Keeping Safe Assembly
In assembly all the children demonstrated what they had learnt through safety month. Different year groups demonstrated different ways of being safe from how to cross the road, how to be safe online and also how to prevent bullying. Excellent work was produced by all year groups including songs, videos and art work. Well done.

YEAR 5 Trip to Museum of London
Last Friday, Year 5 visited the Museum of London Archaeological
Archive. We were able to look at and handle real Viking artefacts
including a comb, a knife and a wooden bowl. We were also taken into
the enormous store where we gasped in amazement at the rows and
rows of objects which included parts of stone columns, boxes and
boxes of bones – some of them human! All of us got to design and
make a Viking brooch which we wore proudly for the rest of the day!
