The event provided a welcoming and informal space to strengthen partnerships with families, celebrate our community, and hear the voices of parents and carers. The atmosphere was friendly and open, with everyone enjoying meaningful discussions alongside a delicious variety of shared dishes.

Feedback from parents and carers was extremely positive. Comments included: “Thank you for a lovely afternoon,” “Lovely concept – with time it will become popular and well attended,” and “Great discussions and ideas. I really enjoyed myself.”

Pupils were encouraged to think critically about their use of social media and how to make safe, responsible decisions online. They learned about the dangers of communicating with people who may pretend to be someone else, the importance of protecting their privacy, and the risks of oversharing personal information.

The workshop also addressed issues such as exposing others online, cyberbullying, grooming and gaming. Pupils were made aware of the law surrounding these topics and were empowered to report concerns or seek help if they ever encounter unsafe or harmful behaviour online.

I learnt not to trust people online that I don’t know and not to give out personal information. – Elsie

Even if you know the person and they ask you to meet up don’t go alone, when a stranger gives you, something gives you something they may ask for something I return. - Mariama

I learnt that what just seems like a harmless comment can progress and can be extreme. - Ellie

I learnt that on a game you have to make sure your location is off so no can follow you. - Mya

At the Koinonia Federation, we are celebrating World Environment Day 2025 today, Thursday 5th June! This year’s theme is “Beat Plastic Pollution,” and our students are excited to learn how they can help care for God’s creation by reducing plastic waste.

Across our schools, children are taking part in fun and meaningful activities. In assemblies, we are learning about the damage plastic causes to our oceans, animals, and even our own health. With a special visit from a member of the Young Climate Warriors organisation. They will be visiting our year 5 and 6 pupils for a special meet and greet too! It’s shocking to discover how long plastic takes to break down—and how much of it ends up in the sea. But we know that we can make a difference.

In classrooms, pupils are designing posters to raise awareness about plastic pollution. Some students are creating art using recycled materials, showing how rubbish can be turned into something beautiful. Others are making pledges to reduce single-use plastics by using reusable water bottles, lunchboxes, and shopping bags. Please read on to find out all of the wonderful activities taking place!

At the Koinonia Federation, we believe that even small changes can lead to big results. By working together, we can beat plastic pollution and protect the Earth we all share.

Let’s keep making a difference—not just today, but every day!

Mark also enjoyed his visit across our schools and said “ …the way that all the children brightly engaged, responded, volunteered, sang and asked intelligent questions, does you all proud. In which all the students who volunteered to read - from Year 6 to Year 3 - demonstrated a natural confidence and got the huge round of applause that they deserved.”

Student voice:

Zoe-Grace, Year 5: “I like that his book was about global warming and climate change and it made me think about my invention and what I can do to make the world healthier.”

Ainsley, Year 6: “If we don’t do things and find ways to change how we use resources, we won’t be more efficient and non-renewable resources will be gone.”

Jeremy, Year 6: “We need to find more creative ways of using our resources because we are running out of plastic and oil and stuff. We are hurting the environment because we are wasting so much resources. “

Ms Battey

Throughout the month, St Mary Magdalene will be involved in various activities such as energy-saving challenges, waste reduction projects, and sustainable travel initiatives. These hands-on experiences allow students to learn about the impact of everyday actions on the environment and to explore innovative solutions for minimizing carbon emissions.

Together, through small, manageable changes, we can make a significant impact on the environment, creating a greener, more sustainable world for future generations. #CutYourCarbonMonth2024

As the students ventured out, they observed various physical features such as trees, grassy areas, hills, and the River Thames. The vibrant autumn leaves provided a colourful backdrop, and the children were encouraged to collect different types of leaves and describe the textures and colours they found. They discussed how the landscape changes with the seasons, noticing the cooler weather and the falling leaves as indicators of autumn.
