La Plume Francaise

We are very fortunate to welcome seven A-level French students from Harrow School, who visit us every Wednesday for French conversation practice. As we approach the DELF examination early next year, we will use these sessions for focused Production Orale preparation.

Recently, pupils have been reading the Sami et Julie books together. Adelina (Year 5) commented, “The students are very kind to us. Today, we were reading the books and they were also helping us to memorise vocabulary.” 

It is a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to meet older role models from our community and to share our language learning together.

News from Reception

The children in Reception have been exploring the traditional tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They have been retelling the story using the Tales Toolkit symbols, focusing on the character, setting, problem, and solution. Alongside this, they have been busy making porridge in class. The children loved mixing the ingredients and listening carefully to instructions. They enjoyed choosing their own toppings and having their porridge with their peers.

In Maths, we have been exploring shapes, with a strong focus on triangles and circles. We learned that a triangle has three sides, three corners, and three angles. The children also enjoyed creating their own circles using string attached to pencils, helping them understand that a circle has no sides because it is round.

Design a Christmas Card for Harrow competition

We were delighted to welcome Cllr. Shah Levy from Harrow Council and Gareth Thomas MP to Saint Jérôme recently as they joined us to announce the winners of the Design a Christmas Card for Harrow competition. Nine fantastic designs from our pupils were selected, and we could not be more proud of their creativity and hard work.

The winning children will be invited to enjoy a private tour of the Houses of Parliament, and they have each received a book token. Their designs will also be professionally printed and shared with the Harrow community and beyond, which is a wonderful honour.

Every child who entered the competition will receive a certificate of participation shortly, recognising their enthusiasm and effort.

Well done to all our young artists!
