FAMOUS ATHLETE VISITS
LONDON FIELDS SCHOOL!
Last Friday KS2 had a special visitor. Abigail Irozuru, who is ranked the 3rd
best British female long jumper and 9th in the world, came to our school! We
took part in a active and stamina building workshop and then Abigail gave us
an inspirational assembly and demonstrated some of her skills. We all
enjoyed it incredibly and I think we definitely have some future gold
medallists in our school. Watch this space to find out how much money we
raised in total.
Bring me the correct answer to the prize question on a piece of paper (you can
find me in Rimu class) and you could be picked at random to receive a special
Geography prize!
Yes, this is Miss Goddard
in her jungle gear!
Let’s take a closer look
at…
Did you know…
1.
Argentina is one of the most diverse countries in the world in terms
of its climate and geography. Argentina has desert towards the
North of the country and glaciers in the very South.
2.
The official language of Argentina is Spanish, although they speak
with a
slightly different accent compared to Spanish spoken in Spain.
It is a little bit like the American accent compared to a London accent!
3.
The Iguazú Falls are one of the world’s most fascinating waterfalls, and can be found on the
border
between Argentina and Brazil.
Prize Question:
What is the national dance of Argentina?

Landmarks Tour
Designed by Joshua and Eser
Written by members Palm Class
On the tour around London it was raining but
we still had an amazing time. We went to
Buckingham Palace! When we arrived we
saw the guards marching, a few minutes later
we saw royal guests being pulled in a gold
carriage by a horse. We also saw Big Ben!
Did you know the tower is called The Queens
tower? Also we saw the Houses of Parliament and Admiralty Arch. When we were
there we saw the solders marching. We also
went to St. James park to have our lunch but
sadly it was still pouring with rain! Then we
were in luck! The sun came out. Then we
went to 10 Downing Street and the police
officers were guarding it so no one could
break in. Then we went to Nelsons Column
but we did not get to rub the nose on the
wall because it was on the other side of the
road. We had a fantastic time!
Of Year 4!
Portrait Gallery
Last week we went on an amazing trip to the National Portrait Gallery. We
saw impressive portraits of The Tudors and The Victorians. Whilst we were
on the trip we had a fantastic workshop that taught us all about Mary
Shelley, a famous writer. She wrote a book about Dr. Frankenstein - just a
fact ,she read 100 Books a day! You wouldn’t believe how much she read
and learnt. Her dad wrote many books and she read his books. Also
another fact is Mary Shelley’s mum died four days after giving birth to
Mary. Before the workshop we saw past Queens and Kings; including
Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth I! We were all lucky because the
weather was BOILING hot! Did you know that The National Portrait
Gallery has over 2,000 Paintings. We saw brilliant busts of Kings and
Queens. Busts are a form of statue that only shows their heads! We
had a brilliant day!
