Our much loved school fish have finally found a new home!
Over the holiday our school hall is going to be refurbished. Due to the building work and upheaval in the hall we needed to move the fish tank. When thinking about moving the fish tank we thought about other possible options for our fish. Although their tank is quite large, it isn’t large enough. We tried desperately to find someone who wanted to take care of our fish with a tank big enough. When our search was unsuccessful we decided to contact London Sea Life Aquarium for advice. They were keen to re-home both our fish with them at their aquarium!
Last week both fish were collected safely by staff from London Sea Life Aquarium. The fish will live in a quarantine tank for 6 weeks before being introduced into the HUGE display tanks at the aquarium.
They have promised to keep us updated with the progress of both fish. They have named the biggest fish ‘Sheldon’ after our own Sheldon in Year 4 Red. Sheldon was very fond of our fish and would visit it daily in its tank in the hall.
Our Golden Writers for 2016 were rewarded with a special visit from author Tom Banks who is best known for his pirate adventure story, The Great Galloon. He awarded them with certificates in a special good work assembly. They then took part in a writers' workshop during which they were taught how to create interesting characters and how to develop action in story writing. Well done to all our Golden writers. Keep up all the good work next yea
Please take time to look at this amazing range of activities that all of our children can take part in during the summer holidays. We have copies of the leaflet in school. Please come to the office if you would like a copy.
Today the first children had a special tea with Ms. Shah. Four children; Emila (Year 6 Violet), Yusuf (Year 3 Blue), Luke (Reception Butterflies) and Almere (Year 1 Pink) were all picked from our ticket box as they had shown exemplary behaviour in our school lunch hall. We listened to your ideas about lunchtime and lots of you wanted a different reward for excellent behaviour. From now on the lunchtime staff will give children raffle tickets when they behave well, are polite and eat lots of food. We will pick out 4 names during Thursdays assembly. The children selected can choose one of their friends to have morning tea and cake after break on Fridays. We have put more of your ideas in place at lunchtime. Please visit our Pupil Voice area to see where we have listened to your voice and what we have done.
We want all our children, parents and staff to be able to breath clean air, live healthy, long and fulfilling lives and for Haringey to be a clean and safe borough.

On 27th June our wonderful choir and instrumentalists took part in a spectacular concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Lots of schools from Hariney came together and performed two special pieces - 'One Small Bird' and 'Apollo's Arrow'. The sound was amazing! We were very proud of all the children for taking part and being so brilliant.
We received a very special letter from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We hope you had a lovely 90th birthday Your Majesty!
