Educational Visits

Year 5 went to the Olympic park for an educational visit, we were lucky to have Rosemary and Mike from the Canal and River Trust who gave us a tour of the rivers and canals whilst giving us vital information.

The Brilliant Club launch event was hosted at Goldsmith’s University in London. The children excitedly toured the campus with a student ambassador and participated in the first tutorial with their PhD tutor to focus on this years topic Politics - Power to the People.

4B enjoyed another trip to the library. The workshop on this visit focussed on using an encyclopedia. The children also analysed the purpose between different non fiction books.

Year 4 visited Canning Town Library to celebrate World Book Day with a reading session, quiz and special visit from Mary Poppins.

Year 2 visited West Ham Park to experience the local environment as part of their Geography unit. They took part in mapping skills and orienteering activities so they could deepen understanding of geographical language and concepts.

On Monday 4th March, 5B had the opportunity to visit the GLA. This was by far one of the best educational visits. Not only was the visit very informative; we also had a special tour of City hall. Although we did not see Sadiq Khan - we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and we are very grateful for the opportunity.

Year 4 travelled to St Angela’s Secondary School to watch a dance production from children of all ages throughout the school. It was a fantastic event which developed the children’s awareness of different styles of dance. Children found the show inspirational.

Year 4 visited The British Library to take part in a workshop called ‘Map your world’. The children developed their understanding on the purpose and styles of different maps. Children also learnt about the biggest and the smallest maps in the world. Finally, children participated in several activities which aided their understanding on the importance of perspective when drawing and reading their own maps.

Year 5 had the opportunity to visit a Hindu Temple. This was part of our Religion unit where we learnt about other faiths (Hinduism). The trip was very informative and built on our knowledge of Hinduism. We were also very privileged to have a priest at the temple answer our questions, as well as give us a tour of the Temple.

Year 5 visited the local library, here we had the opportunity to listen to a librarian read a story to us. We then borrowed books to take home. We love reading and we are grateful for this termly opportunity.
