• Anti-Bullying Conference

  Fri 18 Nov 2022

  Our student council team attended a brilliant Anti-Bullying conference today, at the Hornsey Youth Hub. The event was centred around this year's theme 'Reach Out', and was introduced by the Mayor of Islington. They took part in debating sessions about Online and Racist bullying, and gender stereotyping. They also discussed the impact of bullying on mental health and wellbeing, and how they can support the school to tackle bullying, in its many forms, and sharing good practice.

  Each school then shared their creative presentation. Our student council decided to write their own poem to perform:

  'Reach Out'

  It's time we make a change 

  because what we're doing is strange.

  Bullying is bad

  it's making people feel sad.

  Time is running out,

  so let's start reaching out!

   

  It should stop, it really is terrible,

  it only make people feel horrible.

  It is ridiculous, it should stop today.

  Let's make a difference in every way.

  Let's start by reaching out!

   

  Let's make people feel comforted,

  even if they're different.

  It doesn't matter who they are,

  we're all children of God. 

  Let's start reaching out!

   

  Let's reach out to the light,

  so everyone can shine bright.

  Everyone's different.

  Let's celebrate by reaching out!

   

  By Ronnie, James, Aysa, Emily and Emmanuella.

  

• The Floating Garden Regent's Canal Granary Square

  Fri 18 Nov 2022

  10 pupils in KS2 have been selected to take part in a 5 week project on the Floating Garden. Global Generation will be running sessions for a small group of pupils every Thursday between 17th November and 15th December on their Floating Garden barge.

  The Floating Garden is a community garden and classroom moored on the canal by Granary Square in King's Cross. Drawing on the calming properties and cultural stories of water, sessions will combine hands-on activities with dialogue, story, creative writing, silence and stillness.  

  This week the pupils had a meditative sitting still and breathing exercise, followed by listening to an intriguing history of Regent's Canal, the Fleet River and the Floating Garden. They then split into two groups to do a spot of bulb planting, learning the techniques of successful planting, and finally finished the session with some freefall writing, 'Being on the water made me feel.....'
