A prehistoric family homework!

The theme for February's family homework is 'Dinosaurs'. There are lots of fun family activities to get your teeth stuck into. As always, every family across the five primary schools will receive a copy in the last week before the holidays.

You can download a copy of the family homework here.

London Cable Car

Lots of families from Stepney Partnership schools (over 100 people!) went 100 foot into the air yesterday on the London Cable Car at Docklands. The trip was part of the regular programme of holiday activities funded by the Stepney Partnership of schools.

Greenwich Planetarium

Stepney Partnership families battled in the rain as they went to Greenwich Park on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd January! Almost 100 people came across the two days and attended a show at the Planetarium. There were beautiful (though slightly misty!) views across London from the Royal Observatory, and some families stopped at the National Maritime Museum on the way.

The family trips linked to the family homework theme of 'outer space' and was part of the regular programme of holiday activities funded by the Stepney Partnership.

Family Homework is Out of this World!

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.

Making Computer Games

Year 5 children across the five Stepney Partnership primary schools (Ben Jonson, Cayley, Halley, Redlands and Smithy Street) have been learning how to make their own computer games! About 150 children have attended sessions at the PDC. Early next term we will publish the games online so you can play them.

Stepney Maths League - Heat Two

Heat two of the Stepney Maths League took place at Ben Jonson School yesterday. A team from each of the five Stepney Partnership schools (Ben Jonson, Cayley, Halley, Redlands, Smithy Street and Stepney Green Maths Computing and Science College) had one hour to answer 12 Olympic themed maths questions. Well done to all the children for the excellent team work. A special well done to Cayley and Smithy Street who came first and second. Next heat is at Smithy Street on 7th February.

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.
