The theme for the upcoming holiday family homework is 'Outer Space'. There are lots of fun things to do - make a rocket or alien, look up at the night sky, visit Greenwich Observatory, do the space quiz!

Be ready to share your experiences with your class and in assemblies when we come back in January.

Year 5 Family Taster Day



Year 5 children and parents across partnership primary schools had an excellent taster at Stepney Green School yesterday.

The aim of the day is for children and families to learn about secondary school. Families began the day building towers out of straws, and then went to three family lessons - Religious Studies, Music and Design & Technology.

"I liked meeting everyone and playing football. Also teachers and students are very friendly. I'd love to come to Stepney Green" Year 5 student.
