On Wednesday 18^th October 2023, year 3 visited The London Centre to learn about different job roles in architecture and construction. They looked at different models of buildings in London and learnt about the importance of different subjects and made cross curricular links when discussing different structures. All the children met adults doing variety of job roles such as an architect and structural engineer. The children asked them questions to understand their job roles. In the end, all pupil designed their own future school models and were excited to then create a 3D model of their design using paper, glues, scissors, sticks and masking tape. 

Year 5 had the opportunity to visit KPMG to look at how businesses can be sustainable. This is a part of their World of Work week. Year 5 had to think about how their product could be sustainable, whether this could be renewable resources or a product that can last for a very long time. Year 5 worked as a team and thought about the core skills such as teamwork and innovation that they could focus on for their sustainable product.

On Friday afternoon, 6 girls from year 6 went out for bikeablity training. We rode from school to Holland Road, where the girls took part in some drills. All the girls successfully rode with confidence and were very happy with what they had achieved. 

We then went onto the Greenway and travelled to memorial park and the girls rode down and up the hill leading to the park. The girls enjoyed the session. 

Well done to Iraq, Alexia, Diana, Tia, Wahiba, and Carolina.

On Thursday, 10 year 5 and 6 girls took part in their second football competition at West Ham foundation. 

There were roughly 21 schools that attended the competition. Curwen played against Gainsborough, Rosetta, St Lukes and Scott Wilkie. All the girls played very well. They should be proud of themselves. 

A massive well done to Kasey Ann our Goal keeper. 

Yesterday, our MASt Literacy students had an amazing time meeting Sir Lenny Henry (actor, comedian, writer and all-round Renaissance man). They were treated to a morning of storytelling, jokes, questions and top tips on how to become a successful writer. Phoebe-Grace (Y5) even got to tell Sir Lenny a joke, and some pupils got their books signed by the man himself.
