Posted on: 26/06/2024Year 6 St Teresa's Woolwich Garrison ChurchYear 6 St Teresa’s Woolwich Garrison Church - 26th June Last week, the lovely St Teresa’s class had the fantastic opportunity to go to St George’s Garrison Church in Woolwich. The Garrison church was bombed in the Second World War with only the altar and the skeleton of the church remaining. The children were given a talk by the Chairman of the Woolwich Garrison Church Trust, Tim Barnes. They were given the history of the church and why it was such a special place. The children were then given the opportunity to complete a treasure trail looking for clues and answers to the questions around the church. It was a wonderful day, full of sunshine and History which all of the children really enjoyed.

Posted on: 20/06/2024Joss Bay TripJoss Bay Trip Thursday 20th June 2024 Our Year 2 class had an unforgettable trip to Joss Bay Beach, filled with excitement and laughter. The children were thrilled to build sandcastles, digging tunnels, and explore the beautiful shoreline. Their joy was palpable as they collected shells and played games. However, the adventure took a surprising turn when the seagulls swooped in, snatching sandwiches and snacks right out of the children’s hands. Even Mr Small and Mrs Coghen were not spared as they lost their sandwiches to the seagulls. Despite the feathery thieves, the day was a huge success, with everyone returning home sandy, sun-kissed, and full of stories about their seaside escapades.

Posted on: 17/06/2024Barclays Bank Visit 11th JuneWhat a fantastic day Year 4 had on Tuesday 11th June, when Barclays Bank came to visit our school. The Barclays bank team spoke to our Year 4s about the importance of budgeting. We did some coding and the children had the opportunity to visit the Barclays Van called Ken to see what other services they offered. It was a great day which allowed our Year 4s to cement their knowledge from our money topic into real life scenarios. Not only were they able to cement their knowledge, this was also a great opportunity for them to ask questions. Some of these questions were brilliant, with some of our children asking about loans, mortgages and even what a central bank was!

Firstly, the Committee met the School Council last week where 20 minutes of our time with our children happened to be one of the most rewarding conversations for the PTA.. The Council presented to the Committee a number of needs and requests we were not aware of, and that we will sponsor in the name of the parents, teachers and friends’ community. These consist of the purchase of: • Fans for the classrooms • Chopping boards and weighing scales for cooking activities • Basketball hoops • Playground toys and shades Thanks so much to the School Council representatives for their frank and articulated interaction with Mrs Cornelia Raffeiner and Mrs Stacey Subebe, who represented the PTFA Committee. Secondly, Thanks! to the committed parents in our community who have volunteered to help in running the Summer Fayre.

We will have: • A bigger DIDI cars track, with music and fun • An ice cream van just for us • Glitter tattoos and a summer shop • Shooting games with lots of prices • A delicious BBQ food provision • An amazing art and craft stall • And dancing and singing… and more surprises.

Thanks so much in advance for your disposition and support, we are looking forward to spending the day together at the Fayre.
Posted on: 7/06/2024Junk Music WorkshopMusic Junk Workshop - Friday 7th June Today, we had the pleasure of having Emily Gunton come into school to teach our Year 5 and 6 children using junk music instruments. We used junk music instruments to link in with Environment Day, looking at the importance of recycling and caring for our environment. Here are some quotes from our different classes on how they enjoyed today! St Teresa's class thoroughly enjoyed our workshop with Ms Gunton. Our children have an understanding that we have a responsibility to care for the environment and not to be wasteful with the resources God gave us. Today children learnt about junk musical instruments but also they were encouraged to think about creating a more sustainable world. Daniel: "We learnt to play instruments with recycled things" Zelma “ We learnt that we can make music with everything" Rylee: "I learnt that we can be creative and make music with everything"
