Educational Visits

Key stage two children participated in a chess tournament against six other schools hosted at St Joachim’s Catholic Primary School. The children achieved a bronze and silver medal in recognition of their efforts.

Year 4 have visited Canning Town Library to learn more about the summer reading challenge for 2019. They also had the chance to enjoy some reading time when exploring the library.

The children have had a wonderful time. They have been body boarding, surfing, undertaken team challenges, fencing, street surfing, survivor, high ropes and the zip wire.

Year 4 visited the Tate Modern to launch their Arts Week focus. The children focused on surrealism; developing their understanding of the style through their interpretations to different artist’s work.

Year 1 and year 6 enjoyed looking at sculptures at Tate Britain for inspiration for art week.

This year on our exciting visit to Holland, we stopped in Brugge, in Belgium and had a tour of the town (testing out the new school rain macs), spotting lace, tapestry and chocolate in the shops. We also saw the Church of Our Lady before moving on to Amsterdam.

Year 4 pupils went on a residential educational visit to France. Pupils began their cultural experience with a visit to a French school to meet their pen-pals, perform a French song, play games and develop their language skills. They then went to the beach and had a sandcastle building competition before going onto the hotel.

Year 5 had an opportunity to visit the Royal Festival Hall for an orchestral performance. The children thoroughly enjoyed this as they listened to the different sounds of the different instruments.

On Tuesday the 14th of May 2019, 5B went on an educational visit to the Ragged School Museum. We travelled there by train. The reason for this visit was to educate us on how school life was during the Victorian times. We were given the opportunity to go back in time and experience for ourselves a day in the life of a poor Victorian child.​

4Y went to St Bon’s for a design and technology workshop. The children made acrylic key-rings by using a range of tools and techniques. Their finished products look amazing.
