Year 5 have been writing news reports this week! They even acted out their reports with some 'breaking news' music.

Thanks to everyone who wore red today to show racism the red card. See donates below if you would like to donate to Show Racism the Red Card charity.

The children attended a special assembly yesterday where they shared the poetry they wrote for Black History Month. We were so impressed with the thoughtful poems the children created and how they captured the achievements of a variety of inspirational Black women in their poems.

Year 3 explored the lives of Mary Seacole and Ruby Bridges

Year 4 used their book 'Undefeated' as a model for their poems, which saluted a range of inspirational Black figures.

Year 5 created Bio poems about British athlete, Dina Asher-Smith; British Space Scientist, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Stem Scientist Dr Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE

Year 6 have been learning about the Windrush generation this half-term and they created poems about Windrush and Claudia Jones, who helped set up Notting Hill Carnival. 

Year 1 had a great time at Dulwich Picture gallery, where they spent time in the gallery and then did some incredible artwork. 

JKPS encourages families to walk, wheel, bike, scoot or use public transport, especially as our school is in a polluted area. If you need to drive to school please remember to check if a parking space is a disabled bay before using it, as some of our families really rely on those spaces.

And if you arrive by bike please can you dismount and walk the last bit of your journey instead of cycling on the pavement, to ensure the safety of everyone arriving and leaving school.

A reminder that we operate a one-way system at drop-off and pick-up, please make sure you enter through the big gates at drop-off and then exit through the small one by the zebra crossing. Then reverse that at pick-up! This helps to reduce congestion at the gates.
