  • Year 3 Growing Workshop

    Published 08/03/24

    This week, Year 3 had ‘Growing Workshops’ led by London Community Kitchen to support their Science Curriculum. They learnt about sustainability, created their own herb garden and investigated what plants need to grow. They were also treated to a book about gardening and harvesting. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed their workshop. They are excited to be urban farmers, look after their little plants and watch them grow.

  • Community Police Officers Visit Nursery

    This week we welcomed our community police officers into school to talk to the children in our nursery about their jobs and work in the community. The children learnt about how to use the emergency number and showed the children their equipment. The children all got to have a photo taken with the police officer’s hats! The children followed up the learning with work in the nursery with role play and activities to support their topic on policing.

  • Exotic Explorers visit Reception

    Published 02/02/24

    The company ‘Exotic Explorers’ brought some very interesting creatures to school and the children were particularly intrigued by the nocturnal animals. Reception learnt that they hide, move and feast during night. They had the opportunity to touch, stroke and even hold a salamander, a snake and a hedgehog! The skunks moved freely around the classroom sniffing for food (and thankfully did not spray anywhere!) and the Owls spread out their wings to fly across the room. It was a magical experience with some of the parents commenting on Tapestry: ‘We are a few days later and she still talks a lot about it….wonderful memories!’, 'She was so excited by the snake!', 'What an amazing experience for the kids', 'So excited! They were so brave!'.

  • Rights Respecting School Award

    Published 20/10/23

    The pupils, staff and parents at Elmgrove Primary School and Nursery have worked exceptionally hard to achieve the GOLD Award for UNICEF UK’s Rights Respecting Schools Award. We are all delighted with this news. It is an internationally recognised prestigious award for excellence.

    The pupils and staff have shown a continued commitment where the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is at the heart of policy and practice. The children have demonstrated good knowledge and understanding of rights and are aware of a wide range of articles showing confidence in the concepts of rights for all children. Pupil voice is highly valued at Elmgrove where the children have many opportunities to have their suggestions listened to and acted on. There is mutual respect and trust between the children and adults, allowing learning about rights in a positive way.

    Thank you to all the exceptional Rights Respecting Rangers who have empowered the children in raising awareness of their rights and responsibilities, through assemblies, discussions and campaigns which affect children both locally and globally.

    The Rights Respecting Rangers have successfully focused their campaigns on the effects of plastic pollution, the environmental Climate Catastrophe and highlighting the Cost of living Crisis.

    Everyone involved should be incredibly proud of this achievement. Congratulations on the great work in earning the GOLD Award!

    Wednesday 4th October

    4pm

    After a long journey through some horrendous traffic, we arrived safely at the Pioneer Centre. Everyone is currently settling in and will be jumping into their first activity shortly.

    6pm

    We have settled in beautifully. Abseiling and zip wire was our first activity which we all thoroughly enjoyed and are all feeling proud of our achievements. Dinner soon and then onto the next activity. Weather is dry!

    We ended the evening with a campfire!

    Thursday 5th October

    9am

    We all slept well and are looking forward to our day’s activities. Slight drizzle today – fingers crossed the weather clears up! 

    11am

    We are on our first activities this morning. Abseiling, high wire and archery. This afternoon we will be building rafts and testing them. 

    1pm

    The morning activities are done and we are off to lunch. We had some completing the leap of faith this morning and we have some who managed to climb to the top of the tower!

    5pm 

    We have had a very wet afternoon building our own rafts and testing them on the water. Some people fell in but that did not stop us all from having a great time. We have also been caving and learning archery and tonight we will enjoy the tuck shop and movie night... 

    Friday 6th October

    11am

    We have woken on our last day to a dry but cloudy day. We have packed and enjoyed our last breakfast here. We are now completing our final activities before we say goodbye to the Pioneer Centre and begin our journey home. Our aim is to be home for the end of the school day but we will update the school as we travel.
