Dust off your trainers and find your house colours! Our highly anticipated Sports Week is just around the corner.

 Today, we created our own unique beats to match to a song we’re creating all about identity! We have used our knowledge of pitch and tempo to create a catchy tune and we will also be using our knowledge of poetry to create our lyrics… stay tuned for the final results! 🎵 

This week, 5RD have been taking part in the TCS Mini Marathon in schools and their effort has been incredible! Each day, we’ve been completing 4 laps to build up our stamina, working towards a fantastic goal of 2 miles by the end of the week. The determination shown by every single pupil has been inspiring and even more impressively, some children have been asking to do extra laps! It’s been wonderful to see such enthusiasm, resilience, and team spirit. We are so proud of you all. 5RD, you are amazing!

Wagtail Class have been working really hard to explore the idea of halves! They’ve been learning how to recognise when an object or shape is split into two equal parts. To help with this, they carried out a fun investigation—cutting and folding different shapes to check whether the halves were truly equal. It’s been great to see their curiosity and teamwork in action as they experimented and discovered together!

This morning, 5RD took part in a delicious and exciting pasta taste-testing session as part of our food technology project. We explored a variety of pasta shapes and sauces to help inspire our very own pasta pot designs. There was lots of enthusiasm as we sampled each combination.  One student described it as “like an Italian breakfast,” while another favourite was “a beautiful tomato sauce with the farfalle and mozzarella.” Our classroom was filled with smiles, conversation and the wonderful aromas of Italian cuisine. By the end of the session, our tummies were full and we had gathered plenty of inspiration for our upcoming designs. A fantastic morning of learning, tasting, and fun!

  The children in Robin class blew us away with their determination. They have completed 2 days of their mini marathon running a total of 8 laps of the field so far! Look at their faces!

We are incredibly proud to share a huge congratulations to all the children who took part in the TCS London Mini Marathon on Saturday! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ They represented Towers brilliantly and showed fantastic determination, enthusiasm and sportsmanship throughout the day. It was an amazing experience for everyone involved, made even better by the sunshine and the electric atmosphere. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces crossing the finish line and proudly wearing their well-earned medals at the end of the event. What an achievement! 🥇 Well done to each and every child who took part, you should be so proud of yourselves. You truly did Towers proud! 💙 (More photos to follow)

Today, 6P took part in the mini marathon!  8 laps this morning and 8 laps in the afternoon! They showed great stamina and determination to complete all the laps at a manageable pace. Even Mr Pitty got involved! Well done 6P!
