Reading With Saracens Sixth Formers

/in /by

It’s been wonderful having 30 sixth formers from Saracens High School coming to read with 1:1 with our pupils on Wednesday afternoons.

The sixth form volunteers were trained by Mrs Tudorache and have shown much patience and maturity in helping our pupils progress with reading. It has also been wonderful to see how well our pupils have responded, as they look forward to reading with the ‘big kids’ in the hall each week.

Initiatives like these are one of the many benefits of belonging to the Saracens family and we look forward to exploring more ways to work together in the future.

Science lessons at Saracens High School

/in /by

Our year 6 pupils got a taste of what science lessons are like at secondary school when they spent time in the science labs at Saracens High School.

The children enjoyed watching a flame test demonstration before themselves carrying out an experiment about chemical reactions where they used chemicals to succesfully inflate balloons.

As well as the excitement of the lessons themselves was the thrill of being in a high school and even eating lunch in the vast dining hall!

Arts and Crafts Club

Arts and Crafts club has been an enormous success!

Every Wednesday afternoon until the Christmas break, Miss Clack has been running a super creative club for our children.

There have been 17 artists attending the after-school club, from years 2-6. The children have enjoyed making rockets, dream catchers (like Rico is holding in the photo) and some art for Diwali.

We’re so grateful to Miss Clack and her partner for running such an incredible club. Isn’t our community amazing?

Our Saracens Family Is Growing!

On Wednesday 1st October another primary school in Barnet joined Saracens Multi-Academy Trust: Saracens Broadfields in Edgware.

Mrs Tudorache and Ms Hanham attended the launch party, along with 2 of our wonderful pupil ambassadors: Filip and Desire. There were also representatives from the other Saracens school: Saracens High School.

We’re delighted to have another ‘cousin’ in our family whom we can share experiences and resources with.

Reading Workshop

/in /by

We love welcoming parents into our school! This week we invited parents to a reading workshop led by Ms Zekiri.

Ms Zekiri introduced parents to ‘Reading Eggs,’ an award-winning online literacy platform for children aged 2–13 that blends game-based learning with proven instructional design. It teaches reading skills in a highly structured, step-by-step sequence, incorporating phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. After taking a placement test, each child works at their own level through interactive lessons, quizzes and decodable books. Progress is tracked via a parent/teacher dashboard, and children earn rewards along the way to keep them motivated. It’s a wonderful tool for helping children develop a lifelong love of reading.

During our session, the adults and the children had the opportunity to log on and use the platform. We will continue to champion reading in school and we’re thrilled that families are joining us by also championing reading at home.
