Qualiteach Year 5 Football Tournament
Fri 28 Feb 2020Our 5 a-side team reached the semi-final of the Qualiteach Tournament at Goals narrowly missing out on earning the chance to play at Leyton Orient's ground before the League Two team's home game against Exeter in April - the prize for the finalists.
C of E easily won their qualifying league winning two games 9-0 and another 12-1! Hopes were high when we qualified for the semi-finals but the team fielded by the New Wave Academy Trust from Hackney proved tougher opponents beating the boys 4-1 in a ferociously competed match.
Midfielder, Max, commented, "I am gutted that we lost out on the chance of playing at Leyton Orient's ground but think we have a strong team which could go all the way next season."

Rabbi Visit
Fri 07 Feb 2020Rabbi Odom Brandman from the Chabad Lubvitch Centre in Buckhurst Hill recently visited the school to talk about Jewish prayer, and Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. Commenting on the visit, Headteacher, Lindsey Lampard recently wrote in a school newsletter :"Y4 welcomed Rabbi Brandman on Thursday to talk about his Jewish faith. We are very lucky that he is willing and able to come to school, giving his time freely to share his knowledge. By walking down the street of any major city, you are likely to see more diversity than an 18th-century explorer did in a lifetime! People with very different ideas of how society should function must live together, and there is no idea more divisive than that of religion. Many of the most important moral disagreements break out along religious lines. Indeed, differing religious views on freedom, sexuality and justice threaten social cohesion. That must not be allowed to happen. One crucial way that people can best learn to live with one another is by increasing their religious literacy. We do this by visiting a range of places of worship and inviting visitors from a range of faiths."

Year 3 Mosque Visit
Wed 05 Feb 2020Pupils from Year 3 recently visited the Jamia Mas Jid Mosque in Leyton as part of their studies on Islam. The children focused on looking at wudu - a type of ritual purification which Muslims perform before prayer.
Esme, a pupil in Year 3, wrote in her journal, "First we went inside the mosque and met Irfan who told us about the 5 Pillars of Islam and that one of the Pillars is prayer (salah). Later we did some activities including the order of how wudu is set out."
Esme's classmate, Charlie, who also went to the mosque described the visit as 'a great experience'. He added, "It was brilliant to actually experience how to make wudu rather than read it in a book or see a video about it."
