Rock Steady Concert

We Will, We Will Rock You!

SPSM rock superstars have been practicing their musical skills all year and the talent really shone out in our Rock Steady concert this week.  The audience couldn't help but clap along!  Keep your eyes open for more concerts, coming later in the year.

Anti-Bullying Week

We rounded off our week of drama, performances and workshops with our anti-bullying parade (the wet weather didn't stop SPSM - endurance!) and 'Odd Sock Day'.  We wore our odd socks to celebrate our differences and reinforce the messages we learnt and shared during this important week.

Be Bright, Stay in Sight Day (BBSIS) - 2023

BBSIS 2023 brought colour and sparkle to SPSM.  There was of course, another reason to hold our annual BBSIS day, to remember how to keep ourselves safe on and around the roads, especially as Winter sets in and the days get darker earlier.  A big congratulations to the Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) for organizing such a wonderful day and keeping us safe.  The JRSOs had the tricky job of judging our competitions on the day.  These were:

Brightest Class - Reception Class (Winners)  and

The Road Safety Treasure Token Hunt (Winners - Year 5, golden tokens were found by Ayvah and Kyrie).

Why not have a look at some of the photos of the day? WARNING - Sunglasses may be needed to view these super bright photos!

Bikeability Cycle Training - 2023

Children from Years 5 & 6 took part in our cycle training scheme this week which is run in partnership with Cycle Confident (a big thank you to the JRSOs for their organisational skills during the week).  Some children had more experience than others but all made incredible strides in their cycle skills and cycle safety knowledge.  Well done everyone who took part, your new skills will be invaluable in life!  Have a look at the photographs of the weekly event.  If you didn't take part this week, look out for other opportunities to join in the training later in the school year.

Junior Road Safety Officers 

It's that time of year again, time to select some new recruits to the role of Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs).  Each Year 5 candidate had to complete a job application form and the best three officers were chosen and won the coveted role.  A JRSO works hard across the year to keep SPSM and the community safe on and around the roads.  There are lots of events which they help to organize (more news of these events soon) and they also have time to network with other Hackney JRSOs.  Your JRSOs for 2023/2024 are...

Good luck in your new jobs! 

Harvest Service at Church

SPSM would like to thank all the parents, carers and families who donated goods to our Harvest appeal.  All of your generous gifts will be shared within the community - going to other families in need - through the Hackney Food Bank .  There were so many donations that there was not enough room in the church to display them all!  Our Harvest service helped us to remember how fortunate and blessed we all are, even in these difficult times.  Years 1 & 2 gave a wonderful drama performance relating to Harvest and a rendition of the song 'It's Harvest Time' which helped reinforce the message of helping others in our own community and around the world.  We were also lucky enough to have prayers and readings delivered by our children from all classes in the school.  Keep your eyes open for our Harvest video, coming soon under our 'News and Events' tab.

School Council Inauguration 

The school council pledged their allegiance to the values of SPSM, their dedication to their peers and their loyalty to the whole school community during their inauguration on Monday morning.  The special assembly was their first occasion in their new role with many more to come!  We will keep you posted with further School Council news, events and decisions in the future.  

Year 6 - Goodbye and Good Luck!

Mixed emotions surrounded our Year 6 Leavers' Assembly today and we also said a fond farewell to Miss Moroney who is heading back to her native Canada.  Although we are sad to see them all go, we are delighted and excited that they are moving on to bigger and better things.  Our Church service was a celebration of the journey Year 6 have made through Primary School so far, the highs and lows and all the wonderful friendships and memories made (the children had previously shared their best memories of SPSM in Tuesday's special school assembly).  A new journey awaits you Year 6, embrace all that it brings you and we know you will all achieve great things, leading you towards your goals and aspirations.  Good luck in all you do! 

Reception Graduation

Congratulations Reception class, you are now moving on to Key Stage One and we couldn't be more proud of you!  Thank you to parents, carers and family members who turned out to celebrate this momentous occasion with us.

Year 6 Prom

It was with mixed emotions that we held our Year 6 Prom last Friday.  We are proud and delighted that our children at the top of the school will go on to represent us wonderfully at Secondary School but also sad to see them leave us.  So with best bib and tucker on, we held our annual prom to show Year 6 just what they mean to us.  Our Head Teacher, Mrs Lot, organises a prom to rival any you will see in the American teen movies (even the rain couldn't dampen the atmosphere she had created), just one look at the photos of the event will make you wish you had an invite.  Good luck Year 6, we love you and will miss you and you will always be in our prayers.
