Our Love for Reading Assembly – Wallington Fire Station

Last week, Wallington Fire Brigade came to talk to KS2 about why reading is so important for their job.

They showed us an example of a record sheet that they fill in for every call they receive and the key information they have to gather. They brought with them a map of the local area. They have to be able to read the road signs and names to get to their calls quickly and efficiently. We asked the White Watch firefighters lots of questions about what their favourite books were as children and if they had a favourite author.

After the assembly we were lucky enough to have a tour of the fire engine and have a look inside all the storage compartments at the resources firefighters use to fight fires.

Thank you White Watch for coming to talk to us about your love for reading!

Young Voices 2014

Ready for the off!

On Tuesday 28 January the school choir took part in the Young Voices 2014 event at the O2 arena.

We joined thousands of other young voices to create one huge choir that performed a wide range of songs to friends and families. It was great to see so many family members supporting the choir. We certainly hope that you enjoyed the concert.

Following the coach journey, we had our lunch then rehearsed for the whole afternoon to make sure we were in a position to give a great performance. If you look closely at the slide shows, you’ll even see our very own Mrs Lynch rehearsing on stage and performing with the teachers’ choir!

During the afternoon we worked with some amazing artists such as Wayne Ellington, who even brought his microphone over to us so that we could demonstrate our vocal skills. The singer Keith Semple performed a great version of ‘Living on a prayer’ with us. Finally, let’s not forget performing with the amazing Stacey Solomon who really had the X Factor!

There wasn’t only singing! The street dance group called Urban Strides got all the audience up on their feet and dancing. It was super to see the families and friends participating in such an amazing event.

Have a look through the slide shows below that tell the story of the day in pictures. If you like what you see, please write a comment about this post.
