If you go down to the woods today, you’ll sure have a big surprise. If you go down to the woods today you’ll never believe your eyes……… You will more than likely see lots of our SHINE@ the BLC students having lots of fun learning about woods and forests as part of their topic on Enchanted Forests!

Over the last half term, the children have been learning all about urban forests, rainforests and forests around the UK in their groups Arden, Sherwood and Dean . They have made edible chocolate conkers, mini rain forests in a bottle and their own versions of famous children’s stories set in forests.
Over the next few weeks, the students will be taking part in a drama workshop and will spend the day at Stubbers Adventure Centre, in Essex taking part in the High Ropes Challenge, learning archery and joining in a story telling session in the very dark woods!

This is a brand new year for the SHINE project and we have been joined by over 45, new year 4 -6 students from the BLC schools. We still have a few more places left so if you are interesting in joining the project please contact your BLC school or Lisa Bogle, Project Manager, on 07854350932.

Lots of activities locally and across London for families to get involved in over the half term break. Hoping you have a good one!

Last Friday talented artists from Loughborough, Christ Church SW9, St John’s Angell Town and Jessop Primary schools got together to spend a day exploring a range of art techniques and skills. The day took place at Christ Church, led by Hannah Littlejones, Christ Church Primary’s specialist art teacher, making full use of Christ Church’s facilities – a dedicated art room and outdoor learning areas as Lambeth’s lead Forest School. The children started their day in the Forest School learning area, collecting natural materials and exploring sun printing. They used their materials to create clay moulds and tiles, having looked at the work of William de Morgan. They explored the work of Gillian Ayres, producing simple books in which they displayed their colour mixing and experimentation with colour shades, as well as having fun mixing colour using the potters wheel. They also produced fabulous textile wall hangings, based on an African Admire cloth technique, using resist and stencil techniques. The focus of the children, who worked in mixed school groups, was excellent and enabled the children to produce a vast of amount of high standard work. Huge thanks goes the the staff who accompanied, encouraged and worked with the children for the day, also making sure that all the children played together happily in the break times. It is hoped this work can be displayed locally in the future. We are now planning a day of practical Science with a focus on Chemistry in November, for all those budding scientists in our cluster.

Evelyn Grace Academy are hosting new adult learning courses this Autumn, delivered by Morley College. Come and hear more this Thursday 2nd October 6 – 8pm at Evelyn Grace Academy. You will be made very welcome.
