Head’s Lines C ... The following children were presented with their Lexia Reading cer ficates in Assembly this week:
R M ‐S ‐ Level 11 A —Level 14 H T —Level 15 A Y 4 were congratulated in
assembly for their Projects which have been on display in the Library this week. Topics included Bears, Disneyland, Fossils, Palace of Westminster and My family tree.
We all enjoyed our annual Journee Française on Tuesday (many thanks to Monsieur Draper), the Year 6 waiters and waitresses did a grand job serving their parents and I was par cularly impressed to see a good number of children sampling the moules marinieres! On Wednesday, the Under XI Rounders team were runners up in a very compe ve tournament and came home proudly displaying their medals. Open Morning on Thursday was very well a ended and our Year 8 children were excellent tour guides, despite awai ng their Common Entrance re‐sults which were given out later in the day. All were suc‐cessful in gaining places at their first‐choice schools – very well done!
Our circus‐themed Summer Fair promises to be a wonderful morning for all the family (and the sun WILL be shining!) With just one week to go un l the fun, there are many ways that you can help. Please see page 8 which gives all the details. Once again, please do visit

Thank you in advance for all your support. The summer fair is a fantas c event that the children really enjoy and we appreciate everything you do to make it so.

SUMMER TERM, Issue 8 3
Y7 trip to Stratford / Olympic Park On the 13th June Y7 went to the Queen Eliza‐beth Olympic Park, the whole point of this trip was to gather data for our coursework. The ques on was whether the 2012 Olym‐pics were sustainable or not, and our data had to be about this.
We were given a work sheet ‐ there were several pages which we had to complete. Our first stop was Stra ord Sta on, where we asked the general public a few ques ons on whether they thought the area had improved or had got worse since the 2012 Olympics. Most people thought the area had improved, the only disagreement that they had was that housing price had risen and they were disappointed with this.
Carpenters Road Estate was quite an old area, there were many derelict houses around the estate and three massive tower blocks ‐ all these were going to be knocked down, but in the end only one was knocked down. We were gathering our data on a couple of things; how well Carpenters
Estate was designed, noise, public transport and was it safe for the public etc. Overall the estate was quite old so it wasn’t that well designed, there was quite a lot of noise because the train line goes straight through the estate, the public transport is good because Stra ord Sta on isn’t too far a walk and it was safe for the general public. We also had a tally where we cked off which sites we saw on Carpenters Estate.
A er this we went to the Athletes village which has recently been refurbished and is now on sale to the public. We had to compare the differences between the village and Carpenters Estate which were quite big. The village has just been built and was clean and modern. We used the same table as we did with Carpenter’s Estate. We based our results on noise, public transport, design and whether it was safe to live there etc. The public transport was excellent ‐ there were numerous bus stops and train sta ons close by. Noise was kept to a minimum as they are trying to limit cars and encourage people to walk. The design of the village was very nice, it was clean and modern. Personally I wouldn’t mind living at the Athletes village ‐ I felt it looked like a very safe place to live.
We took a short walk to the actual Olympic Park where we analysed the facili es. Our guide made us draw a sketch of the whole Olympic Park from a bridge above the Lee River. Then we went to see some of the facili es like the Hear Centre which is now owned by BT. Then we walked to the Copper Box where all the Handball matches were held. I was surprised to learn that ren ng a court on any of the facili es would cost exactly the same as any other sport centre in East London.
We did a small tally on the restaurants and shops similar to what we did on the Carpenters Estate and at the Athletes Village.

Everyone got into groups of either 3 or 4 and then had to come up with an anima on idea. My groups plan was to have a magician who was awful at magic ‐ he cut a lady in half and got eaten by a lion. We had to draw a story board.
We all had to design our background and make them. Ours was a stage with red curtains and lights made out of clay.
We then moved onto modelling the people, props and animals. Sophie made the lion, Louisa made the props, Poppy made the magician and I made the magicians assis‐tant.
Once we had finished the model making we began filming. There was a compe on to see how many photos each group took to make their anima on ‐ we took 375. We filmed the curtains opening first, then the magician coming on to the stage. Next the assistant in the box came on: the magician cut her in half, so she died! The lion come on next and ate the magician. Finally, we added the credits along with a photo of the group.

SUMMER TERM, Issue 8 7
The Royal Party Last Friday, 10th June the Pre‐Prep celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday in style. To our surprise the Queen was able to join us! She started the day alongside Mrs Wildey, gree ng the children at the Octagon door. She was then able to enjoy some Maypole and Morris dancing on the field. She visited the portrait gallery and admired a number of beau ful pictures and enjoyed a variety of cra ac vi es in her honour.
Her final duty was welcoming the children to her birthday lunch in the Quad.
