SRE policy to be

renamed RRLC

(Respectful

Relationship and

Life Cycle

Education) policy

We have updated our Sex

and Relationship Policy.

To update the policy a

working committee was

formed with some

parents, governors and

staff members’

involvement. The

committee decided to

change the name of the

SRE policy to RRLC policy

(Respectful Relationship

and Life Cycle

Education). The updated

policy was shared with

parents in four different

workshops during last

half term. The policy was

also shared with staff

members and we all

agreed to update the

policy the way working

committee has proposed.

We hope the policy will

be ratified at the

Governors meeting.

Congratulations

to Starfish class

who won the BEST

ATTENDANCE

AWARD in Key

Stage 2 with

97.82%

The award was a trip to

see the Minions movie at

Rich Mix on Thursday

11th July. It is safe to say

that Starfish Class loved

it. It was hilarious and

being set mostly in

London, the children

recognised many of the places in the film.

Year 4 take part in cricket tournament at Weavers Field

30 children from Year 4 took

part in a fantastic cricket

tournament with other local

schools at Weavers Field.

Students from Swanlea helped

coach the children and each

child took part in several

games. The children all had lots

of practice developing their

throwing and bowling, learning

to run at the right time and

hitting the ball with the bat.

It was a lovely, fun day.

The Soul

Stealing Horror

By Aniqa. S. Hussain

Year 6 Owls Crystal white flakes drifted slowly

down, burying the deserted ghostly

town in snow. Merrily, I skipped down

the snow-topped, cobbled alleyway

when I came across a board. A

chalkboard. Scribbled on it were

hundreds of names. As I skimmed

through them, I realized that some of

them were names of long lost family

and friends. These names. There was

something about them. All of these

ancestors had disappeared from the

face of the earth. But something urged

me to scrawl out my name. I took a

step back.

Alma.

I stood still just staring at it but then I

felt as if I was being watched and a

shiver ran down my spine. Reluctantly,

I turned around. It was then that I saw

it. Blinking not once but twice, I

realized that it was something more

than just my reflection. There was

something behind that frosty glass

window.

Curious, I edged closer; pulse racing;

palms sweating; heart beating heavily.

It had the same blue grey bobble hat,

same dark pink hooded body warmer

and the same muffler. Yes. I had been

cloned. But as I looked back up, the

doll had disappeared! But how? It was

made of plastic surely. Astonished,

shocked, amazed, I stood as still as a

statue.

Frantically, I scanned the room, my

eyes still adjusting to the dark. And

there in the center of the threadbare

carpet stood ‘my’ doll. Instantly, my

face lit up. I tried the handle about a

dozen times but it wouldn’t budge.

Annoyed, I stormed off. But before I

could get far, the old, wooden door

creaked open.

I shouldn’t have entered. But I did. I

was stupid. I was curious. I was

determined. Slowly, I stepped in,

admiring the hundreds, maybe

thousands of dolls. Some looked

Victorian, some Edwardian, some

Tudor and some modern.

I moved over to where my doll stood.

But then, I accidentally stumbled over

a doll on a toy bike and knocked it

over. I bent down to pick it up and

watched it go. It headed straight for

the door; but before it could escape the

door had shut. Laughing at its

stupidity, I turned back to my doll.

Amazingly, it had once again vanished!

What was going on?! Frantically, I

moved around the room in search of

the doll. Then, I spotted it. High up on

a shelf my doll sat, waiting to be held,

to be touched, to be alive. Pulling over

a sofa, which was old and dusty, I

started to climb. Climbing the

mountain of dolls, I pulled off one

mitten and outstretched my hand.

Nearly there. Slowly. And YES! I

grabbed it. But NO! Before I could do

anything, my life flashed before my

eyes.

Suddenly, I was stiff all over; my limbs

were stuck; I couldn’t move my head;

my lips didn’t move and no sound

came from it. Then, I understood- I

had become a doll! My heart leapt (not

that I had a heart anymore). My

breathing had become heavy and the

only thing I could do was move my

plastic, googly eyes, which I hated.

Then, I heard an eerie sound. One that

I hated very much. My eyes slid, slowly

over to where that horrible noise was

coming from. It was the rattling of cogs

as yet another doll spiraled up.

The shop had chosen its next victim.

No one can escape this shop… it was

ALIVE…..

Early Years dance to the drumming tunes! Tapp Street, London E1 5RE,


Premier League

Reading Stars!

This is the second year

16 boys from Year 5

have participated in the

8 week Reading Project

ran by the Idea store,

Literacy trust and the

Premier league football.

The project aimed to

improve boys’ reading

and writing skills

through their interest in

football.

The Year 5 boys had a

great time reading and

writing about their

favourite Premier

League footballers.

They developed and

improved essential

reading and writing

skills through fun-filled

football related

activities such as

reading and writing

sports articles for

newspapers!

Year 3 enjoy day trip to Weavers Field

Year 3 Dolphins and Seahorses went to Weavers Fields to enjoy a

great day out with exciting sports activities and a delicious treat.

Children thoroughly enjoyed this trip

and they were able to write beautiful

recounts in literacy about their experi-

ences. Here are just a few quotes from

their writing, please enjoy reading…

“What I thought would be an ordinary Mon-

day turned out to be a rather amazing sur-

prise… We tip-toed through the frightening-

ly dark tunnel because we did not want to

step on

rubbish

or bird droppings… When we arrived,

everyone was full of joy. The grass

was silky soft…” (Hadi- Dolphins)

“Even though I’ve been there before, it

was different this time as I enjoyed

every moment of the trip with

my friends and teach-

ers.” (Najiba – Seahorses)

“Excitedly, a group went into

the park. I climbed onto the

climbing frame. My heart be-

gan racing uncontrollably… This

was the most surprisingly ex-

citing trip ever!” (Iqra- Dol-

phins)
