Chingford's Got Cleaners took to the streets in time for the 90th birthday of HM the Queen. Sixteen pupils from across the year groups on the Junior site filled nine bags of rubbish from the surrounding area.

Our litter pickers and parents collected rubbish from the surrounding streets near the school and then went up to Station Road, across onto The Green, up Green Walk and back through the churchyard of Ss Peter and Paul.

I think some of the children were astounded by the amount of litter they found.

Key Steps Gymnastics Competition

Tue 15 Mar 2016

What a lovely day for a walk in through the park... to the Key Steps Gymnastics competition borough heats held at Parkside school on Friday 11th March.

Years 4 and years 5/6 took part in 3 disciplines - vault, body management and floor exercise.

The children overcame initial nerves and performed brilliantly.

With so many schools in the borough competing over several sessions, final results are not known as yet. Fingers crossed that we progress to the next round at Leyton sixth form college after the Easter break.

More Able Maths Day

Wed 24 Feb 2016

Twelve pupils from years 5 and 6 had a day of maths with mathematician, Julia Smith.

Working in teams and partnerships, we were asked to complete several tasks involving maths.

The day overall was fun and educational. We enjoyed listening to the parody songs at the beginning of the lesson because they encouraged us to work as a team to solve an extremely fast sum!

Our teacher, Mrs Smith, taught us about algebra and geometry. We did lots of crafty activities whilst we were learning. Some of them were: maths A-Z tablecloths; mathematical clocks and triangular bunting. We all had a lovely, enjoyable day and learnt a lot!

Tate Modern Visit

Tue 09 Feb 2016

Fourteen year 6 pupils went to the Tate Modern Gallery with Mrs Rowlnad on Tuesday 9th February. We arrived, had lunch and then met an artist who showed us around.

Throughout the day, we participated in two great activities in pairs. Our favourite activity was making a huge mess around the gallery with wool. Trailing different coloured balls of wool through sculpture rooms, we created visual art with patterns and lines of wool. The public were defiantly confused! While we were doing this, we gazed upon a room filled with human hair! After that we collected up the wool to create a vibrant mixture of colours.

Next, we looked around a different part of the gallery and our second assignment was to look in newspapers. We had to find: a powerful verb; a place and a noun. Using this variety of words we created our own sentences which made us laugh when we read them out. Then we had to try and match our sentences to a piece of art work in the gallery.

To summarise, it was a brilliant experience as well as a great day out.
