Pupil voice: I have enjoyed listening to you because when I’m older I might become an author of comic books or even novel books - Teo I love reading When The Sky Falls because I could just read it and get lost in it. I sadly finished it and am now waiting for my teacher to finish While The Storm Rages. I’ve only read one of Phil's books but I am already hooked- Ollie The event encouraged me to read more often, even though I don't always enjoy reading - Musab The event was so good, it has inspired me to write my own book one day - Elisha

The benefits of exercise can also be seen in the classroom with improved concentration, memory function and self-esteem. We will compete with other primary schools in Haringey to do 3 weeks of physical activity, our school will be scored on how frequently pupils participate in physical activity and the variety of activity they do. This can be encouraged at home, by engaging in physical activities such as: playing in the park, going for walks and riding a bike.

Junior Road Watch

Children from Year 5 and Year 6 went to Station Road to conduct a new road danger reduction scheme which aims to reduce speeding near schools with the Metropolitan Police. Station Road is currently 20mph, we used a speeding gun to monitor the speed of cars driving on this road, anyone driving over the 20mph we pulled over and they had two options: to take the penalty 6 points and a £100 fine or to have an educational talk with our children about the implications of speeding and reason behind Station Road being 20mph. In total, we pulled over 7 drivers driving above the speed limit. Once the Police completed the required checks, the children had the opportunity to talk to the drivers and educate them on this important matter. Cleo: "I really enjoyed using the speeding gun and stopping drivers who were driving too fast. I handed them a leaflet about speed awareness." Hayden: "I learned that people break the speed limit daily and it is important as a pedestrian to be aware of cars around you and make sure you look and listen constantly when by a road." Oskar: "I enjoyed working with the police officers and discussing the importance of sticking to the speed limit with the general public." Ruweyda: "I really enjoyed using the speed gun and measuring how fast people where travelling. I learned the consequences of driving over the speed limit."

World Poetry Day

In Literacy, as a class, we had been working on Narrative Poetry so Yusuf took it upon himself to write this fantastic poem about the environment. Poem by Yusuf The Littered Land. The earth is a disgrace, We must stop the pollution we must embrace, The big, bright solution to make our earth a better place, We must get ready for the problems we have to face As.. The pollution is rising greeting the sky with a bright grey haze, The sky coughs and wheezes as the humans go about their days, The trash lies silent on the road giving the bins a silent gesture, And the dumps talking about mother earth saying, “well we messed her”. The polar bears complaining about their home melting away, it really shows the selfishness that we display, And people are out there dumping plastic in the vast ocean, It makes you think that the human heart is broken. And it doesn’t get better talking about trees, About how we chop down millions of them in a breeze, Trees produce vital oxygen for our daily function, So chopping that source down will lead to dysfunction. People lay in their homes complaining about the internet, Not knowing that the electricity powering their home is becoming a threat, But not all hope is lost, people are taking action, But we as humans have only done a fraction, of what we need to do. So we must work together to eradicate climate change, To be kind and to save our planet which we have deranged, Because the solution isn't in the earth or the bins it's in you, So come on let's save the earth that we grew. BY YUSUF, El Salvador
World Book Day at Alexandra

Thursday 3rd March 2022 At Alexandra Primary School, we celebrated 25 years of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K. Rowling.

WOW Travel Tracker 2022

To promote active travel here at Alexandra we pledge to actively travel to school. What are the benefits of walking to school? Form of exercise and it keeps us healthy It’s great for our minds and bodies Opportunity to spend time with our families By walking we help reduce pollution Great for the planet What is Park & Stride? Park and Stride means parking the car 10 minutes away from school and walking the rest of the journey. This way you can still earn a badge! What does it mean to actively travel? It means you are using the power of your body to move yourself. Examples of 'active' travel are walking, cycling and scooting. Living Streets A leading charity that encourages children to walk to school. WOW Travel Tracker WOW is one of the UK's leading behaviour change initiatives, brought to you by Living Streets, the charity for everyday walking. This is a pupil-led initiative which will see children digitally record how they get to school everyday. If they travel sustainably (walk, wheel, cycle, scoot or Park & Stride) at least once a week for a month, they get rewarded with a WOW badge. Year 6 School Street Workshop To further promote this Y6 have took part on a School Street workshop. Here, Y6 actively gathered data within their local community focusing on Western way and The Common. The children identified key features using a tally chart and then had the opportunity to design and create their own version of a live school street. Using a range of materials, children creatively expressed what they would like to see more of in and around their local community.
Art & Team work in Year 4

Last half term, we explored collage, water colour paints and our sketching and shading skills to create this final piece of art - a mixed media portrayal of birds on a tree. To create the background, we used water colours and created different moods for our paintings. To create our birds, we practice our sketching skills and then explored shading them in different ways to create different effects. At the end of the topic, we created our very own gallery in our classrooms and wandered around it, appreciating each others art. Finally, we evaluated our own work and thought about what we liked best about our creations and how we could improve them if we were to make them again. We hope you like them! Teamwork in Year 4 Our focus in PSHCE last half term was teamwork. For our last two lessons, we worked in groups to design and create 'The Funniest Potato Man'. After we had created them, we then had to work as a group to present our 'Potato Man' to the rest of the class. The focus of these sessions was team work and we talked a lot about cooperation - what it means to cooperate with each other and why it is so important when we work in a group. The lessons were a lot of fun and we also learnt a lot. One thing puzzled us though - which potato man was the funniest? We couldn't decide. What do you think?
The Gingerbread Man

Glitter A friendly woman, red earrings, baby, blue eyes. Bubble gum breath as soft as a feather, moves as slow as possible. ‘Help yourself, don’t wait for me!’ Bling Small blue, grey eyes.
