Herringham Primary Academy’s Eco Community Fest was a vibrant and engaging celebration that successfully combined creativity, environmental awareness, and community involvement. The event welcomed pupils, families, and members of the local community. Each year group proudly showcased and sold their eco-themed creations, while a variety of games and stalls provided enjoyment for visitors of all ages. Local organisations and businesses made valuable contributions by sharing their knowledge, interacting with attendees, and presenting a range of services and products.

Herringham Primary Academy's Sports Day was a fantastic celebration of teamwork, determination and sporting spirit. Pupils from across the school took part in a range of exciting events, demonstrating resilience, enthusiasm and encouragement for one another throughout the day. It was wonderful to see children challenging themselves, celebrating successes and showing excellent sportsmanship. Thank you to all the staff, families and supporters who helped make the event such an enjoyable and memorable occasion for everyone involved.

On Wednesday 25th March, the GLC primary schools came together for the much-anticipated GLC Basketball Finals. The event brought an exciting atmosphere, with pupils demonstrating impressive skill, determination, and enthusiasm throughout the competition.

All players represented their schools with pride, showing outstanding resilience, teamwork, and sportsmanship in every match. Each game was closely contested, reflecting the hard work and commitment the teams had put into preparing for the tournament.

At the end of the competition, the scores from all matches were carefully totalled to determine the overall winners. Herringham Primary School emerged victorious in both the girls’ and boys’ categories, an incredible achievement that highlights the strength and depth of their teams.

In recognition of their success, both teams were proudly awarded the championship shield.

Year 4 began their new history topic with an exciting workshop that took them back thousands of years to the Stone Age. The children were welcomed by a Stone Age man who guided them through a range of hands-on activities.

First, they created cave paintings using chalk and charcoal on pieces of slate, inspired by real Stone Age artwork. They then transferred their designs onto paper to record in their Curriculum books.

Later, the children learned archery, where they were taught how to hold a bow, aim, and shoot arrows at animal targets. Everyone supported and encouraged each other, and some impressive shots were made. It seems their Stone Age guide will have deer or boar for dinner tonight!

We’ve loved seeing the fantastic work the children brought back; the variety and imagination on display have been a real highlight of our first week back.

This term, Year 2 watched their Tudor houses go up in flames as they recreated the Great Fire of London.

As the houses burned and turned to ash, the children recalled key facts about the event, bringing their learning to life through an exciting and memorable experience.
