WTW Pupils celebrate World Book Day on national TV

A group of our Year 1 and Year 2 pupils were lucky enough to be invited on to the national tv show ‘This Morning’. They were invited to take part in the run-up to World Book Day to help showcase how to make book character costumes at home.

They spent the morning having a look around a tv studio, meeting the designer and team. They then appeared live on tv showing the costumes that had been made especially for them.

The other pupils and staff cheered them on whilst watching on the big screen back at school.

World Book Day at WTW

We had a fantastic World Book Day here at WTW. We spent the day dressing up in our favourite book character costumes, reading and talking about lots of stories and doing fun activities all based around books.

Our Early Years and KS1 children were also very lucky to be able to share some wonderful books and stories with our KS2 children in a lovely paired reading session.

Year 5 are Published Authors!

The Year 5 children enjoyed being part of the ‘Imagine A Story’ project. They collectively wrote a chapter for the book, ‘London/Londoff’ by Sharna Jackson. They met the author and illustrator at the Southbank Centre and heard their chapter being read aloud by Sharna Jackson herself. They joined several other schools who each contributed a chapter to this book to celebrate their achievement. The children were excited to receive their individual copy of the published book which included their chapter.

Classical Vauxhall

To celebrate the local event ‘Classical Vauxhall’, Year 5 were invited to a performance by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The children really enjoyed meeting the musicians and listening to their instruments tell the story of ‘Before the Firebird’.

A very busy Christmas at WTW

The Christmas spirit has been in full swing here at WTW. There have been so many different events happening over the last couple of weeks and we’ve had lots of fun.

We started off with a visiting panto of Jack and the Beanstalk then we had 3 fantastic Christmas shows – our Nursery and Reception classes performed Snowman at Sunset, our years 1, 2 and 3 who took us on a Christmas Around the World and finally our years 4, 5 and 6 performed the Cinderella and Rockafella panto.

We also had a lovely Christmas lunch followed by a wonderful Winter Fair organised by our PTFA.

Finishing our amazing term with a visit to our Early Years and Year 1 and 2 from a very special visitor – Santa, himself!

KS2 Cooking Day

Following on from the success of the ‘Eat Them to Defeat Them’ campaign, Lambeth Council provided a whole day of cookery lessons for KS2 classes.

Classes were taught by a leading food educator and award-winning children’s cookbook author Amanda Grant, who has significant experience in delivering accessible cookery lessons for school children.

The children loved making, and eating, their ‘vamosas’!
