Visit to the BETT Show

Pupils from Years 2 – 6 attended the BETT Show at the ExCeL Centre last Friday as part of an educational visit. They took part in hands-on learning at a range of interactive stalls, including LEGO Education and Kahoot, and explored exciting examples of how technology is shaping the future of education.

School Council

This term, the School Councillors have been focusing on sustainability and have taken part in two valuable learning opportunities to further develop their understanding of recycling and environmental responsibility.

This week, they will participate in a workshop delivered by the Tower Hamlets Recycling Engagement Team, where they will learn about recycling processes within their local area and explore ways to improve recycling across the school. Next week, they will take part in a further sustainability workshop with the Great British Energy Solar Programme and will share their learning with the wider school community.

Unsung Heroes

This week’s unsung heroes are:

Jubeda for being a great support to the year two team.

Estee for ensuring RW is well managed and pupils achieve their best.

Paul for having positive relationships with the pupils and increasing their enjoyment for computing.

Attendance Matters

It is important for all our pupils to come to school every day and on time! Regular attendance and punctuality helps us learn well in school, make friends and have fun. When we miss school, it is easy to fall behind and miss out on exciting lessons and activities. Poor attendance can also affect our friendships, making it harder to join in class discussions and group projects.

Parental Engagement Week – Open Classrooms

Parents are invited to visit their child’s classroom and look through their books at the allocated day and time.

Healthy School

A reminder to all parents/carers, please ensure to provide your child/ren with a healthy packed lunch. Children should not be bringing in sweets and crisps for lunch. Things you can include in your child/ren’s packed lunch are sandwiches, pasta, fruit, cheese or yoghurt.

Food bank

Tahseenul Quran, in partnership with Tower Hamlets Council, will be running a food bank every Wednesday 8:30am-9.15am, outside the school gates.

Parents Coffee Morning

We hold a coffee morning every Wednesday during term time, from 9.10am-10.00am.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with other parents and carers, make connections and enjoy a bit of socialising. There’s no need to book, just turn up on the day. We look forward to seeing you!

Save the Date!

There will be a special ceremony for those children who are recognised as having displayed all three of Paradigm’s values (integrity; community; excellence) by the end of June.

The ceremony will take place at Old Ford Primary on Friday 10 July, starting from 2.15pm. Parents/carers of children receiving awards will be invited to attend. We will confirm nearer the time if your child has been invited to the ceremony, along with additional details but, for now, please pencil that date and time into your diary.
