Year 4 had a fantastic trip to the Greenwich Islamic Centre where they took part in an engaging and educational mosque tour. The children had the opportunity to explore the mosque and learn about the different features of a mosque, including the prayer hall, the mihrab and the minbar.

During the visit, the pupils discovered how Muslims prepare for prayer and why the mosque is an important place for worship and community. The guides explained the purpose of different areas in the mosque and answered many thoughtful questions from our curious learners.The children were respectful, enthusiastic and fully engaged throughout the experience, showing great interest in learning about different cultures and beliefs.A big thank you to the Greenwich Islamic Centre for welcoming us and providing such an insightful tour! ...

Our children competed in a gymnastics competition yesterday, watching them step onto the floor, perform their sequences in front of judges, and give it their all was truly unforgettable.

It wasn’t just about the routines — it was about the courage it took to stand there, the resilience they’ve built through practice and the confidence they showed under pressure.So incredibly proud of these amazing children and the hard work they put in to taking part. ... See MoreSee Less

What an exciting day we’ve had at Greenacres! 🛡️⚔️

Today we welcomed a fantastic Viking Workshop into school, and our pupils were fully immersed in the world of the Norse. From exploring Viking life and traditions to learning about weapons, artefacts, and daily routines, the hands-on experience really brought history to life.The children asked thoughtful questions, showed great enthusiasm, and thoroughly enjoyed stepping back in time. It was wonderful to see such engagement and curiosity across all year groups.A huge thank you to the workshop team for delivering such an informative and interactive session — we’ve had a brilliant day of learning! ...

Today we took our Year 4 maths learning into the hall and brought perimeter to life! The children worked collaboratively to calculate the perimeter of large shapes laid out on the floor — but with a twist… some of the side lengths were missing!

Using their problem-solving skills, the children applied bar modelling to help them identify the missing values before calculating the total perimeter. This visual strategy really supported their reasoning, helping them break the shapes into manageable parts and clearly see the relationships between the known and unknown lengths.There was fantastic teamwork, mathematical discussion, and resilience as they explained their thinking and checked their answers. It was wonderful to see everyone so actively engaged — learning maths on their feet! Well done Year 4 for your brilliant reasoning and collaboration today! ... See MoreSee Less
