On Thursday 6th February, Year 1 celebrated their wow day which was all about old and new toys. The children brought in their favourite toys from home and had a chance to play with each others toys. They also made spinning tops which was really fun. They compared their spinning tops to some old toys that Mrs Conroy brought in for the children to look at and play with.
And KS1 children in St Patrick's were invited to a VIP movie event. They enjoyed popcorn and a Christmas film and dressing up as movie stars!
Children in St Patrick's had an amazing time watching 'Aladdin and the Legion of Genies' at Millfield as their reward for being the winning house team this year! Oh! Yes they did! Well done St Patrick's!
Well done to the boys and girls from KS2 who took part in the Panathlon event at Lee Valley Leisure Centre on Friday. There was a carousel of activities, such as New age Curling, basketball and football that were scored. We played against other schools in the borough and after an afternoon of fun when all the scores were added, St Edmund's came first! The children received gold medals and certificates, we also brought back a lovely trophy! Well done again!
On Thursday afternoon some boys and girls from Year 5 and 6 took part in SportsHall Athletics at Edmonton County. There were 14 Schools from across the borough who part over a number of weeks. The teams took part in a range of events from track and field and scoring points. The children had a great afternoon competing in the different events. Well done to all the children who took part.
Well done to St David's for winning the inter-house football. This was the first of our inter-house events, well done to all who took part. There was great excitement as the final match went to penalties. There was a great team effort!
Code Club used the BBC micro:bits to code decorations for our ICT Christmas tree. The micro:bits spell out Merry Christmas in different languages. We sent details and photos to EU Code Week and have received a certificate from them for our submission.
Well done to the girls in the Year 5 and 6 football team. They played in a football tournament at the power league. They played four matches; they played against St Andrew's and drew 0-0, against North Star and drew 0-0, against St Monica's and drew 0-0. Our final match was against Raglan, but unfortunately we lost 3-0.
They played really well as a team and tried to score goals, with lots of near misses! Well done girls, you are playing really well as a team!
Year 2 took part in an exciting event as they visited Edmonton Fire Station. The children learnt lots about the important job that firefighters do and they even got the chance to spray the hoses and go on the fire engine! Once again, a huge thank you to the staff for organising and leading the trip and to all the parents who helped to support. The children came back to school extremely excited with huge smiles on their faces! You can see some of the photos of their day bellow.
We were joined by members of the Leytonstone branch of the Royal British Legion for our Remembrance assembly on Monday 11th November. Some of the Year 6 children read poems written at the time of the First World War while we listened to music and watched a PowerPoint presentation. At the end of the assembly we were presented with a Certificate of Affiliation so St Edmunds is now officially a member of the Youth Organisation of the RBL.
