NEWHAM FOOTBALL LEAGUE:
School21 hosted Southern Road in the Y5&6 Newham Football League. "Our Year 5/6 football face-off with Southern Road was intense! The boys put up a fierce fight, narrowly losing 6-5 in a last-minute thriller. The girls, equally impressive, gave it their all in a 4-1 battle that doesn't do justice to their effort and game spirit. Keep those heads high â onwards and upwards, champs! âŊī¸đ" – Mr Diria

LEARNING AT SCHOOL 21:
Reception
Last week we continued learning about different celebrations. We learned about Hanukkah and made some synagogues and a menorah. When we learned about Ramadan and Eid we made and drew mosques.
Year 1
We are becoming super confident coders in year 1! We are using the beebots to help us with directional language and programming instructions.
Year 2
In Art we looked at the work of Basquiat. We first researched and looked at all the amazing work he has produced. We then took our time and created expressive drawings inspired by Basquiat. At the end of the session we showcased our work to the rest of the class to give each other feedback.
Year 3
Last week, Year 3 were mastering column method for addition and subtraction of three digit numbers. They started the new method without regrouping and smashed it. When we started using it to solve equations with regrouping, a few of us were unsure at first, but with lots of practice, we all felt confident!
Year 4
Year 4 have enjoyed exploring division calculations this week, using their previous knowledge of multiplication. We have been using our tables as our working space and creating an array of mathematical mess, all over them.
Year 5
This week in RE, we delved into the intriguing realm of advent, exploring the enchanting tales of Babushka and unraveling the profound symbolism behind advent candles. Adding a dash of cultural richness to our lunchtime, some students showcased their artistic flair by adorning the surroundings with vibrant Rangoli patterns, ushering in the spirit of Diwali.
Year 8
In our Food Technology lesson, Year 8 students learnt how to make scones and mixed berry jam. The session ended with students enjoying eating their bakes with a glass of milk.
The class demonstrated school value of Community and baked a range of cookies, muffins and flapjacks for the visitors who would attend the Reception Open evening event hosted at the school.
Year 8 have also been running their own Fantasty Book Clubs!
Year 9
This week in the Food Technology lessons, the students prepared Black bean stir fry. They learnt about different types of chinese sauces, stir frying as a cooking method, arranging the vegetables in a wok clock. They applied their knowledge well and prepared a healthy meal to enjoy at lunch.
Year 10
Asiya, Sara, Sihaam and Sophie demonstrated the School21 values of Excellence and Responsibility by staying back after school to support in running a hot drinks and sweet treat stand at the Reception Open evening hosted at the school on this Tuesday. The students helped to raise ÂŖ61 through the generous donations of the visitors and staff.
The funds will be put towards a scholarship program to sponsor three Hospitality and Catering students to attend Young Chefâs Academy, Saturday school at Westminster Kingsway college.
