Squirrels Heath Junior School

This summer some children from Years 3 & 4 represented the school at Quad Kid, held at Blackshots in Thurrock. There were 4 events for the children to compete in, which included a 75M sprint, 600M run, vortex howler throw and standing long jump. All of the children did exceptionally well, despite the heat and scored many points for our school, well done everyone! All participants received their statistical result certificate in our celebration assembly on Friday.

We had a great time visiting our local high street. We looked at the public transport links and found out which buses use the route along the high street and where they terminated.  We then conducted a survey of vehicles in the area and also recorded the shops that we could see. When we finished along the high street we then went to the park. We then found some shade and discussed how the local area has changed over the years. When we made it back to school we had a picnic and created a map of Hornchurch High Street.  It was a fantastic day!

 In Year 4 we had an amazing day for French day, learning the song:  LA TÊTE, LES ÉPAULES, GENOUX ET PIEDS,  GENOUX ET PIEDS! We also made posters about famous French people who have changed the world, and we explored French artists such as Seurat, Monet and Matisse, creating our own painting inspired by their work. We even played French games and ate at a cafe, ordering in French! It was a super day!
