Year 5 and Year 6 have met their Shine Mentors for this year. Students from Kings College sign up to mentor a pupil over the academic year. They support in lessons and give up their valuable time each week to check in on pupils in school. Here are some of the children giving a grand tour.
The Bridges Federation Choir began their series of concerts at the Norton Rose Fulbright Holly Fayre.
They sang beautifully and attracted many people from their desks to listen.
Year One visited Surrey Docks Farm as part of their topic work.
Year Five have been making lanterns for the Lantern Parade along the river on Monday 5th December.
Year One were invited to Potter’s Fields to learn about how chocolate is made by Divine Chocolate. They also received an advent calendar.
Year 1 and 2 have been to Millwall to take part in a multiskills competition.
On 25th November, the school was held to ransom by Viking Invaders! Year 5 have been learning about the Vikings all term. They presented us with artefacts and a retelling of the famous story Beowulf! Well done to all the children, Ajita and Ben for their hardwork. Thanks too to all the parents who came to watch.
On Monday 21st November, we were pleased to welcome 34 delegates from across the South East who attended a one day seminar for G&T coordinators .
This course was a led by Pauline Hinchliffe a NACE Award Challenge assessor who provided the coordinators with the foundations that support good provision and guidance on strategies for creating high expectations and challenge in the classroom. We were really proud as a NACE Challenge Award school to share with our guests some of the good practice and provision our more able children benefit from at the Bridges Federation.
The pupils from year 5 and 6 classes met their Shine mentors yesterday!
The project which is organised by Shine Mentoring has been running across the Bridges Federation for several years and has
been very successful.
The children benefit from some 1:1 coaching and mentoring, throughout their last years at primary school. The mentors are all university
students studying at Kings College London.
We are pleased to welcome all of the mentors to Snowsfields and hope that they have a successful time, helping our pupils make progress!
Andrew Dawes from @ReFormArchi shared with our KS2 classes some interesting facts about the proposed pedestrian and cyclist bridge which will connect south east London to the Docklands.
Did you know that there are 32 bridges across the River Thames to the west of Tower Bridge and only one to the east?
If the project goes ahead, the Rotherhithe Bridge will be the longest bascule opening bridge in the world.
