We are delighted to let you know that the children are now using the hive on a more regular basis designed to be a safe space where children can relax, take a break when needed or spend time with their peers. To date it has been a great success! https://t.co/izg4FVhbbn

Nursery have been reading and exploring We’re Going on A Bear Hunt-Michael Rosen. They had a fabulous time immersing themselves in the story and making all the props.

On Monday 24th February, after winning a borough-wide competition earlier this year, the Y5&6 girls' football team were chosen to represent Brentford Football Club in the London Regional Premier League All Stars tournament. After a tricky start to the group stage, with a draw against Wimbledon AFC and a loss against Southend, they battled the odds to win every subsequent game in their group, against Chelsea, QPR, Arsenal and Leyton Orient. This gave them the chance to qualify for the National Finals - if they could win the last match against West Ham to put the team into third place overall. Everyone's nerves were on edge (especially Mr Rose's and Mrs Stringer's) but they secured their place definitively after winning their final game 4-0. The girls played some wonderful team football, supporting each other and building each other up when things were tough. They scored 24 goals over 7 games and one of our players even received a special award for Being Inspiring after stepping up as goalkeeper midway through the day and ensuring they made it through to the finals. We are so proud of the whole team - roll on the Nationals!

This term, as part of the Year 6 Science, Geography and Citizenship programme, the children will start to learn more about climate change. To enrich this learning, we have invited a volunteer from the Climate Ed project to lead a series of free climate workshops to the children, during the school day.
We are delighted to let you know that the children are now using the hive on a more regular basis and this is being built up over time. As many of you know, the hive was purchased by the PA and friends of Mr Young to help keep his memory alive. Mr Young supported Brentford Football Club also known as the 'Bees' and that is why it is called 'The Hive'. The Hive was designed to be one of St Edmund's safe spaces where children can relax, take a break when needed or spend time with their peers. It is designed as a cosy and welcoming place where children can feel listened to and a fun place to be. It will be used for a variety of activities throughout the day such as whole class wellbeing sessions, collective worship, lunchtime chill out sessions, etc. Reception and Nursery are able to book times to use the Hive during the school day. On Monday and Tuesday lunchtimes, the Hive is open from 12pm to 1pm for 'drop in' sessions. The lunchtime 'drop in' sessions will be used for children to 'chill out' and for those who need a bit of calm or a break from the busy playground. Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors will be supporting in The Hive, alongside one adult. Wellbeing resources will be available throughout the session such as board games, mindful colouring, puppets, dress up etc. To date it has been a great success!

We're Going on a Bear Hunt! Nursery spent two weeks reading and exploring 'We're Going on A Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen. They had a fabulous time immersing themselves in the story by making all the props. They learnt about different types of bears, and how to make green for the grass by mixing two colours together, they even made their own mud and found out that snow is frozen rain. They couldn't make snow for the snow storm, but they found out how the cold freezes water to make ice. They watched Michael Rosen's performance and joined in with all the actions and words. It was very dramatic! This story helped the children to become more confident in talking and joining in, but most of all they had such a fantastic time that we suspect they will go on a bear hunt again!
