Year 5 have been using the recent heatwave as an opportunity to learn all about staying safe in the sun.

The children explored the importance of sun safety before creating colourful and informative posters to demonstrate their understanding. From staying hydrated to wearing sunscreen and seeking shade, they shared some fantastic advice to help keep everyone safe.

A great way to combine real life learning with creativity! 🌞🎨

Rehearsals are well underway, and our children are giving it their all!

From learning songs to mastering choreography, they are bringing incredible energy, enthusiasm and teamwork to every rehearsal. It's been wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they work together to create something truly special.

There has been lots of laughter, focus and pride along the way, and we couldn't be more impressed with their commitment. We can't wait to share the finished performance with you soon! 🌟👏

Our Reception children had a fantastic time enjoying the story Aaaarrghh Spider!

They loved following Spider's adventures and then got creative by making their very own spiders. What a fun way to bring the story to life!

This week in Bank Class, the children enjoyed a colourful sorting activity using dyed pasta. They sorted the different colours into bowls, developing their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and colour recognition. The children were engaged throughout the activity and enjoyed exploring the different textures while learning through play.

Year 5 have been working incredibly hard to develop their comprehension skills in reading.

Through engaging texts and thoughtful discussions, pupils have been practising a range of reading strategies, including retrieval, inference and summarising, helping them to deepen their understanding and become more confident in explaining their ideas.

We are so proud of the progress Year 5 are making and the enthusiasm they continue to show for reading. Keep up the fantastic work! 🌟📖

The Newham Community Learning Summer Showcase hosted by Rokeby School E16 was a truly memorable celebration of talent across our schools, and we are incredibly proud of our pupils who took part.

Portway’s BSL Club delivered a thought-provoking and inspiring presentation that captivated the audience and showcased both skill and confidence. It was fantastic to see our pupils using their voices in such a powerful and meaningful way.
One of our students also delivered an amazing poem, performed with real poise and impact, which was a real highlight of the event.

A huge thank you to Rokeby for hosting such a brilliant event.

Our young explorers had a wonderful time investigating the bug tray and searching for insects and mini beasts!

They carefully explored soil, leaves and plants, using tools to discover different creatures and learn more about the habitats they live in. Along the way, the children developed their curiosity, observation skills, sensory awareness and fine motor skills through hands on exploration.

It was fantastic to see their excitement as they uncovered the amazing world of mini beasts!

The children were challenged to create a picture using a circle as their starting shape. ⭕
Anshi used a cream lid to draw her first circle before adding more circles and a triangle to develop her artwork. She proudly explained, "I have drawn a snowman. It has a nose, two arms, and a pointed hat. It has three buttons on its belly." ☃️
Through this creative activity, Anshi explored shape recognition, developed her drawing skills and used her imagination to create a detailed and thoughtful picture. We love seeing our children express their ideas so confidently! ✨🎨

We had a wonderful time planting bean seeds at preschool. He carefully filled his pot with soil, tucked the tiny beans inside, and gave them a little drink of water. He was excited to help his plant grow and loved learning how seeds can turn into tall, green bean plants. We are looking forward to watching his beans sprout and grow!
