On Wednesday 12th February, Reception had a special visit to learn all about dental hygiene.
A special thanks to Claire from Westbury Dental for teaching us how to look after our teeth!
This morning, Year 6 visited Chessington World of Adventures to participate in a citizenship workshop led by the Metropolitan Police, the London Fire Brigade and Transport for London. There were several different scenarios which the children were exposed to including staying safe on the buses and tubes, being aware of stolen goods and stranger danger. They even learnt about protecting wildlife and what to do in emergencies!
“We participated in many different activities that helped us know how to deal with situations that involve animals, strangers and what is considered safe situations. I learnt many new interesting facts like that a train weighs 200 tonnes!” Alexandra Janda
Just before Christmas we had a very exciting visitor come in to our school. He was a mad scientist! He demonstrated all sorts of incredibly interesting and fascinating experiments about air and the gasses that air is made up from. One of the experiments involved trying to keep a balloon in the air using a garden leaf blower - it was all very exciting!
If you want to find out more about science or take part in more exciting experiments, join the after school science club today!
On Tuesday 17th December, the choir of St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Primary School were invited to sing at the Kingston Guildhall.
After enjoying refreshments with their parents, the children performed two carols in the Charter Gallery. This provided a welcome to Mayor Margaret Thomson and councillors as they arrived for a meeting. The children then performed two additional carols in the Councillors Chamber, to a huge round of applause.
Alexandra, a Year 6 pupil, said of the experience: "It was quite scary but I really enjoyed it because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I really couldn't wait because seeing the mayor was such a great honour... She was really sweet and made me feel that I didn't need to worry and that I could perform well."
