Woolwich Winter Warmer 2018 - record numbers of Bannockburn families!

On Saturday 1st December over 100 children and family members from the Bannockburn Community took to the streets of Woolwich to take part in the lantern parade, as apart of the Woolwich Winter Warmer 2018.

The lanterns were made by pupils in a workshop with arts and crafts group, Parrabolla, the previous week, using old plastic milk cartons and other recyclable materials to fit with the theme, which was Recycling.

When we all met at The Woolwich Centre, small lights were put inside our creations so they looked like lanterns and would light up the winter night's sky.

Due to the huge, excellent turnout form our school, we were even given the opportunity to carry one of the arts company's masterpieces, a huge Christmas tree pyramid covered in recycled plastic bags.

Thanks to all the children and adults who came and took part - and well done for gaining all those extra house points for your houses as a thank-you!

Local Community Event - Woolwich Winter Warmer

A number of children from Year 3 and Year 4 took part in this year's Winter Warmer Festival in Woolwich town centre on Saturday 26th November.

In the afternoon, Year 4 performed a song called 'Bananas in Beresford Square', which was written by the children themselves in a workshop with Byron Wallen, a famous local musician, who then performed the song with the children on stage, accompanied by a live band.

Later in the evening, the Year 3 children and their families took part in a beautiful lantern parade, where they walked through the town centre carrying lanterns made in a special workshop at school the week before. The lanterns lit up the town and the parade culminated in the switching on of the great Christmas Tree and some festive fireworks!

Well done to all the children who took part in the event and thank you to Miss Lesley Daley and Miss Kirsty Boggins for helping to organise the event.
