Tomorrow we will celebrate St Edmund's Feast with a special Mass in the church. This is an excellent opportunity to come together as a St Edmund's family to celebrate our patron saint and our school community. All are welcome to attend our Feast Day Mass in Church at 9.30am. https://t.co/HTrpFxNqGK
This week our girls football team participated in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Primary School Girls Football tournament at Richmond Athletic Ground. Our team continues to be on fire! The girls are absolutely amazing and took Wednesday’s tournament by storm. https://t.co/RB52w2qgEx
Y5 and Y6 members of the choir were lucky to have the opportunity to go to Gumley House and share in a musical workshop with the amazing Ganda Boys. They talked about their cultural heritage and shared the most wonderful music with the children. https://t.co/HQNKVTp2nN
As part of our 'Other Faiths' week, Y4 visited a Buddhist Temple in Wimbledon last Friday. When they arrived, a monk told them all about their happiness meditation and their loving kindness meditation. They also looked at the numerous paintings and discussed their meaning. https://t.co/Z8i4L4j8EU
The school gathered at 11am to remember all those who have given their lives for this country. Listening to the Last Post and taking part in the two minutes silence all together was very moving. We also prayed for all those who had fallen in war and for those currently serving. https://t.co/yqiWWPSqXQ

Tomorrow we will celebrate St Edmund's Feast with a special Mass in the church. This is an excellent opportunity to come together as a St Edmund's family to celebrate our patron saint and our wonderful school community. It is also a time to celebrate all the past pupils, parents, staff and governors who have made St Edmund's such a special place over the last 85 years. All are welcome to attend our Feast Day Mass in St Edmund's Church at 9.30am. If you can't attend in person you can always take part using the parish live stream. St Edmund of Canterbury pray for us.
This week our girls football team participated in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Primary School Girls Football tournament at Richmond Athletic Ground. Our team continues to be on fire! The girls are absolutely amazing and took Wednesday's tournament by storm. A local teacher who played pro for a couple of years commented on how effective the girls were as a team! Match report from the team: In our first game we happily won 10-0. We won the rest of our games to get us to the final which we played against Heathfield. Goals were scored and because of our courage we won the final 2-0 and so won the cup. During the whole tournament, we scored a total of 44 goals and conceded only one.
The Y5 and Y6 members of the choir were lucky to have the opportunity to go to Gumley House this week and share in a musical workshop with the amazing Ganda Boys. The artists talked about their cultural heritage and shared the most wonderful music with the children. The children asked questions and joined in with singing as well as testing out some of the instruments!
As part of our 'Other Faiths' week, Year 4 visited a Buddhist Temple in Wimbledon last Friday. When they arrived, a monk told them all about their happiness meditation and their loving kindness meditation. A monk is not allowed to work or earn money and they have three meals a day. They also looked at the numerous paintings and discussed their meaning. Siddhartha Gautama is the person who founded Buddhism because he left his palace and saw people suffering for the first time and thought that was not fair. So, he meditated for 49 days under a tree, despite a demon trying to convince him to stop. When Siddhartha found the solution he died and after that people worshipped him. They were able to look around the beautiful temple gardens too.
Today, the entire school community gathered at 11am to remember all those who have given their lives for this country. Listening to the Last Post and taking part in the two minutes silence all together was very moving. We also prayed for all those who had fallen in war and for those currently serving. Our Lady of Peace pray for us.
