Fabulous Food Tasting in Year 5

Year 5 had a great time when they blind tasted branded and non-branded pasta sauces as part of their learning in Food Technology. The children are going to be using their learning to inform their own recipe design!

Super Fund Raising for St. Francis Hospice

As a school, we take great pride in being a supporter of St. Francis Hospice and all the fabulous work they do.

Here is the total amount we have raised so far!

Clockhouse are worthy Finalists!

The Junior Travel Ambassadors, Mrs Fletcher and Mrs Matthews attended the TFL(Transport for London) Travel for Life Finalist Awards at Kia Oval. We were very honoured that the Local Authority had nominated us for the Modeshift Impact Award. This relates to increasing the number of children who use active travel (bike, walk etc.) and decreasing the number of children who use sustainable travel (car etc.) to come to school. Although we did not win the category, we were very proud to be nominated.

During the day, we heard from different people from TFL. This included the Team GB Olympian, Victoria Ohuruogu. The children took part in two different workshops. One of these was how to present in front of people. James M-H (Japan) was chosen to stand up in front of everyone and take part in a small competition. He was in the final too! They also created posters to encourage people to change the way they travel etc. The children created a poster about slowing down when driving near the school and making sure that people look and think when driving. A member of staff from the London Transport Museum took a photograph of each of these and the posters will be available to see at the museum in the coming months.

Overall, it was a very good day and the children were true Clockhouse Citizens. Listening to what other schools have done has given us some ideas to bring back to school - watch this space!

Hot Chocolate (or ice lollies in this case) with the Head

As you all know we are constantly striving to improve Clockhouse for your children. 

This year we are all trying our best to go 'Channel your Clockhouse Compass' in everything to ensure that our school is a fabulous place to be and the children get the best all round experience possible. Each week, the Heads of Year as well as Miss Ward, Mrs Reinecke and Mrs Savidge choose a person (child or adult) who has been seen to do this and then they get to have Hot Chocolate with Mrs Savidge!

This week the following Clockhouse Citizens have been seen to 'Channelling their Clockhouse Compass:

Nursery - Evelina for channelling her Clockhouse Compass and speaking so well at circle time.

Reception -  Isla H (Northern Ireland) for channelling her Clockhouse Compass and being such a good friend and always being helpful.
