Over £1,000 for the poorest of Jakarta
Monday 10th June 2013
As Yr5 left for their class holiday to Charters, France, they did so with the knowledge that they have raised over £1,000 for the people of Jakarta. Well done to them and well done to Wilbur Ramirez, a bin man from Hammersmith for his inspirational acts of charity.
Row Row Row your boat...Yr 6 Sets Sail
Thursday 23rd May 2013
This week saw the battle of wind power versus motor power in our boat testing trip at Dukes Meadows. In blustery conditions, with grey clouds scuttling overhead, wind and motor took one win apiece in the races. Several boats failed to cope with the rough weather conditions and had to be retired early. It was clear from the test that many boats needed a rudder to help them go straight – a good learning in itself. After the races, the boys had an ice cream and played a game of football before returning to St James for lunch.
St James Relay Team came in first place, ISA Regional Athletics Championships in Bedford
Thursday 23rd May 2013
On a cold and blustery day a good solid athletics team, full of enthusiasm, arrived at the International Stadium in Bedford. There was very tough opposition this year especially in the 600m races. We came home triumphant, clutching 38 medals, 17 more than last year! The team was superb, showing great resilience and good humour during the tedious 3 hour wait before they could compete. A great result indeed.
We are now focussed on the ISA National Championships later in June when our superb Yr4 relay team will be competing once again.
Well done to the whole team - brilliant!

Year 2 had a storming time at the Tower of London
Wednesday 22nd May 2013
Yr2 were dazzled by the crown jewels, nearly run over by marching soldiers and surrounded by artefacts and interactive replicas in the White Tower. We imagined ourselves to be prisoners in the Bloody Tower, spied huge black ravens and entertained a beefeater or two with our questions and knowledge. We handled Henry VIII's replica armour and tried bits of it on in our workshop. We even found ourselves singing 'Oh, Soldier, soldier...' as we walked within the walls. A delightful, happy and informative day.
