This term, we have been delighted to host author, Mark Ballabon, who is an environmentalist, philosopher, and author of ‘Home.’ Mark delivered talks to our Key Stage 2 students about climate change, which is an underlying theme in his most recent book. He linked his assemblies to our Invention fair, in which children were tasked to create an invention within the theme of ‘adapt and change.’ We found his visit to be incredibly inspiring, especially our Eco-Warrior and Science Ambassador groups who had a specialist workshop with him.

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. “

For science, Year 5 have been learning about the Solar System. To reinforce our knowledge and bring this wonderful topic alive, we visited the Science Museum. We saw many artefacts from NASA and we even saw a piece of rock from the moon!

Our Reception class at Christ Church were joined by Ann, Greenwich’s School Crossing Patrol Coordinator. Ann taught us about the dangers of crossing the road and showed us how we can stay safe whilst using, and being around, transport. It was lots of fun and has also prepared us really well for using the local roads safely.

This year all the children at Christ Church Primary School, took part in the Harvest Festival. The whole school walked down to our local church, Christ Church. Everyone brought a tin or packet of food to share and added them to the class Harvest boxes. Rev John and Reverend Dominic, our chaplain, led a very exciting service, enacting the parable of the sower with lots of actions, helped by all the pupils.
