EYFS International Week

During international and food week Early years focused on the aspect of international airports. We created an airport in our roleplay area. The children roleplayed acting out as the passenger check in officers, the pilot, and passengers. They had an opportunity to make their own passports and boarding passes and enjoyed pretending to travel to other countries. We also explored international fruits and where they came from. The children went to the local market to buy international fruits and used them to make their own kebab fruit sticks. They were delicious.

Year 6 Careers day 2022

As part of the Year 6 careers day initiative, the Year 6 children were given the opportunity to meet and interview 2 parents from different professions and fields of work. They met a dentist/ entrepreneur and an electrician. The parents spoke about their careers and how they reached their goals. The children were really engaged and inspired by the professionals. They asked intriguing questions and took a keen interest in finding out more about these careers. Children challenged typical stereotypes by asking key questions such as whether or not women are found in these careers. They were left inspired with the knowledge that women are increasing in these careers. We hope that this experience plants seeds of high aspirational goals into our children.

Transport trip

The Early years children had an amazing educational trip exploring different transports used in London. We started our journey using the 135 bus traveling towards Canary Wharf to catch the Uber boat from the pier to North Greenwich. We stopped at the 02 arena to have a lovely lunch and a little rest. We then went on the Emirate cable cars to travel towards  Royal Victoria DLR station coming back to Shadwell DLR. The kids and adults had a amazing time.
