A Christmas Carol

A group of children from years 5 and 6 went to see a production of A Christmas Carol in the West End.  Read Jakob’s short review below:

A Christmas Callow

The amazing Simon Callow is currently performing a brilliant one man show of A Christmas Carol – the story of Scrooge and the three ghosts of Christmas. A Christmas Carol has been a story that has been told every Christmas and has become a winter favourite. This classic story has been adapted in so many ways but this show has come back to the original Dickens classic.

Callow made use of just a curtain, some chairs and his phenomenal acting. Being Scrooge, the ghosts, all the authentic characters and even the narrator, Callow portrayed this parable as a brilliant, gripping, exciting and fun-for-all show.

 

Year 3 – the new Natural History unit

 

 

Watch out David Attenborough and Frozen Planet, here come Year 3’s very own Natural History programmes – and they managed to travel back in time too!

The children made their own realistic sets and characters and animated them in groups using I can animate. They then exported the films to iMovie to add titles, sound, music and their own voiceover!

Success for the Addison Debating Team

Addison’s debating team were runners up in a borough debating competition held at Latymer Upper School this week.  The children had only 4 weeks to learn the skills of debating before taking on other borough primary schools.  

Opposing the motion ‘This House believes that teachers should be paid according to the children’s results’, our team put forward a series of clinching arguments to win in the knock out round against John Betts Primary.

In the final, the children had to argue that ‘This House believes that children should make the rules in school’. The motion was defeated but Addison were placed second on their debating skills.

Well done to the children involved!

Fooling our brains at the Royal Institution

A group of children took part in a lecture about the brain and our senses at the Royal Institution today – given by Blue Peter’s very own science expert and comedian, Steve Mould.  Using a series of sensory illusions the children discovered just how much work the unconscious brain does for us.

We had company for our picnic in Green Park – including a 21 gun salute.
