Grandma on the Moon

Fri 24 May 2019

Along with pupils from the neighbouring St. Mary's RC Primary School, our Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils recently attended a performance of' 'Grandma on the Moon' performed by the AZ2B Theatre Company at the local parish church.

The production focussed on the sensitive issue of bereavement from a child's perspective. The moving and often heart warming performance was well received by the children and adults who attended.

Year 5 pupil, Mia-Rose, commented, " I think this play was very profound and skilfully mixed in humour with what is a very sad subject."

Another Year 5 pupil, Jack, added, " I enjoyed the play because it was really emotional and touched the heart."

Special thanks go to Luke Lowrie and the team from the Red Balloon Foundation who made it possible for this event to go ahead.

Reminder to return Keep Our Kids Safe! petition sheets

Thu 04 Apr 2019

Please remember to return your "Keep our Kids Safe!" petition sheets to either school office or class teacher by this Friday! We really appreciate your help and hope that with all the door knocking at your neighbours the signatures will be flying in as they realise the importance of supporting this community campaign.

With your support the target of 4000 signatures will be achievable! Remember, anyone over the age of 11 years can sign and they can put their school address within Waltham Forest.

We can't emphasise enough the importance of this campaign. It affects all of our children - whether you use that crossing or not - when the children are in school they cross between sites during the day and that road is so fast, so busy and we all know cars do not stop at the crossing. The traffic needs to be slowed down - for everyone's sake.

Please continue to share our online petition link with your FaceBook and WhatsApp groups within Waltham Forest.
