Dear Parents
Intentionally we have had a quiet week to enable the Year 6s to focus on SATs tests. This they have done calmly and sensibly and I am sure they have all tried their very best. This is the first year of a new format so rather an unknown quantity. It will be interesting to see where our cohort of children perform well and where there are areas we can focus on to improve for next year.
Mrs La Farge, Head Teacher

| Year 5 get set for Ironbridge |
| |
| Everyone is looking forward to the Ironbridge trip next week. The trip is very much cross curricular - in Humanities, the geography of the River Severn is a great learning opportunity and the historical significance of the area as a whole, often referred to as ‘the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution’, is magnificently preserved as part of the World Heritage Site. |

Have you or your children ever wanted to study Japanese but were unsure where to start? Why not learn a little Japanese together while learning all about Japanese dolls...and even make dolls of your own!
From simple wooden kokeshi to elaborate and beautiful hina-ningyō, Japanese dolls have been celebrated worldwide since ancient times as cute toys and as works of art.
In this workshop especially for children, you can learn all about the many different kinds of Japanese dolls, and what they all mean to Japanese people. You can also learn some useful Japanese language to help you talk about dolls and other things you might see in Japan. Finally, you will have the chance to make your own origami dolls yourself!
This workshop is aimed at adults and children (age 6-12) who have not studied Japanese language. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and all adults must be accompanied by a child!

Venue: Brockway Room, Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL
