Mr Groves writes: As part of a packed programme of events to mark World Book Day on Thursday, year 4 travelled back in time to year 1 to read together! Each Year 4 student carefully selected a book from home that they wanted to read to a Year 1 student. We even asked the Year 1 children to share the graphic novel they wrote in English with the older children to amaze them with their stories and drawings.

Miss Jackson writes: This term, year 3 gave been learning about Explorers and Adventurers so, on Thursday, we headed off to Greenwich. We started our day by becoming Victorian sailors in a workshop aboard the Cutty Sark before heading to the National Maritime Museum to immerse ourselves in the expeditions of some of the explorers we've been learning about, including Matthew Henson, Walter Raleigh, Robert Scott, James Cook and Ernest Shackleton. We tried on their expedition gear, found out what they would have eaten and drunk, charted their route on a giant map and even tried out a modern day ship simulator!

On Tuesday, as part of their 'India' topic, Year 1 took part in an Indian Dance workshop with Mrs. Agarwal. The teachers simply couldn't believe how well everyone picked up all of the moves! Every Tadpole and Caterpillar did their absolute best to learn the dance and they should be very proud of themselves.

Reception kicked off the new term and a new topic with the ever popular ‘fairytale Friday’. A plethora of princesses, handsome princes, knights, pirates, crocodiles and dragons (and not forgetting one magnificent gingerbread man) landed at Sheen Lane for a day filled with enchanted castles, magical mazes, mystery characters and storybook designing. ‘Into the Woods’ will involve the children exploring the world that surrounds them, contrasts between natural and built environment, story settings aswell as goodies and baddies! Looking forward to it already.

As part of our school-wide learning about the festival of Diwali, Year 4 travelled across London to the Barbican to watch the London Symphony Orchestra perform music specially curated to link in with the retelling of the Indian epic, the Ramayana. Compositions from Handel to A.R. Rahman were on the programme and traditional Indian instruments like the tabla, dhol drum and sitar were also being performed. It was wonderfully interactive concert where the children got to sing a version of Jai Ho with the instrumental performers.

Thanks again to the teachers who research and organise these trips, the admin team who make sure they run smoothly and the grown ups who give up their time to accompany the trip!

Hard to believe that a year has passed since families and staff donned their costumes to pay homage to icons at Ball in the Hall 2022. Well, as inevitable as a cabinet reshuffle, the highlight of the THS social calendar, BITH 2023, returned with a vengeance on Friday night and what a night it was! Pink ruled for many, with Barbies from all corners of the globe and career paths proving that ‘you can be anything’ even if it’s just for one night. One or two brave Alans pitched up but it was the night for Kens to show they were more than ‘just’. Huge round of applause and thanks to Danni and her indefatigable FOTH team who really know how to put the fun into fundraising and everyone who entered into the spirit of the evening (gin, in case anyone was wondering).

If you haven’t been to a FOTH event yet, not only is it a fantastic way to make new friends but you are raising much-needed funds for the school while you are enjoying yourself. Keep an eye out for details of future dates in the weekly newsletter.

We’d love to see your photos of the night in the comments, as long as you’ve got permission from everyone else in the picture, of course!

What was that delicious smell emanating from the year three classrooms this morning? Chocolate! That's what! As part of their term-long chocolate topic, sparrows and robins took part in a chocolate making workshop, learning how delicious confections are made and creating their very own decorated lollies - and they made them for all of the teachers too! Yum.

Thanks a bunch to all of you who contribute to the enrichment fund, making these wonderful opportunities possible.😍

Happy Birthday to… Darcey! We love an excuse for a celebration at THS, and what better way to mark a momentous milestone than with a book? (Apart from cake, presents and singing, of course). Rather than bringing in sweets or cake -which not everyone can have -we are delighted when our birthday boys and girls donate a favourite story to their class library. Darcey’s story? The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson. Thank you so much for sharing your love of reading with your friends, Darcey. We hope you had a brilliant birthday.

A book: the gift that keeps on giving.
