Today, an ambitious team of UKS2 children travelled to Langdon Park to complete in a Poplar Parliament competition. They listened to the talk from Rhiannon Evans, a representative of the London Air Ambulance charity, before designing and presenting a tool to improve road safety.

The OLSJ team came up with a smart watch – the Eye Watch – that has lots of built-in features to prevent accidents and assist the emergency services. After presenting their designs to the judges, Year 7 representatives and other Poplar schools, they were announced the winners!

Year 6 have been studying the events within the Book of Exodus and how we come to know God through the Scripture. They have created their own book covers for it, explaining their choices and considering who the authors of the Book of Exodus were.

Year 6 were learning about The Victorian Era on Tuesday. They worked hard to understand how the lifestyle in Victorian Britain was very different to modern day. This included aspects of society such as: schooling; toys; children at work; housing; clothing; and food.

A representative from Barnardo’s Charity visited year 6 on Monday to discuss the charity and their work with children. We discussed our emotions: events and occurrences that can affect them; how to share them and much more.

Year 6 have written their own prayers linked to Advent.

We are going to create a whole class Advent Calendar with these and share our prayers throughout December. 🌟

Year 6 have designed their cereal based cakes considering intended audience, purpose and ingredients and quantities required.

Year 6 have continued to study the events and politics behind WW1. This week, they have inferred propaganda messages and intentions from real propaganda poster images and rated them based on their persuasive qualities.

Year 6 visited Shadwell Fire Station and met lots of people who work with the community and young people within Tower Hamlets. We had a great afternoon gaining lots of new understanding regarding Tfl, the Fire Brigade, Anti-knife crime officers and Paramedics.
