Jumpers

We got a certificate this week!

This week we have been learning about the journey people made on the Mayflower. 2020 is the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower journey, which began in Rotherhithe, Southwark.

400 years ago people stood up for their beliefs. Tired of being persecuted for their religion, they made a brave decision to make a journey to the new world.

We went to visit Rotherhithe and explored the area from where they set sail.

We also created pieces of poetry inspired by the journey that they made. Art was also created using techniques including pointillism.

It has been a fantastic way to end this half term.

MAYFLOWER 400

Once again, we had a wonderful

and memorable International

Evening which took us on the

journey alongside the

Mayflower.

There was fantastic singing ,

drumming and poetry as well as

delicious food to start.

Thank you to everyone who

came, contributed and

performed.

Each half term we are always amazed by

the thought and effort that goes into the

different homework projects.

Here are some of them.

Well done!

You will have received an email letting you know that the

consultation period to decide whether or not Robert

Browning should join the Bridges in a Hard Federation has

begun. The last 12 months working together have been a

great success and all three schools have continued to

develop and improve. We would love to make this

partnership permanent. Let us know what you think.
