Sports Day 2023
On Monday 12th June, KS2 had their Sports Day at Mile End Stadium. On what proved to be one of the hottest days of the year, our children were put through their paces with the help of the Mulberry Stepney Green students. Children competed in team games like nuts and squirrels as well as classic events like the 50 metre sprint and the relay. We thank parents for attending and supporting the children despite the huge downpour of rain in the afternoon. ​
On Friday 23rd June, Reception and KS1 had their eagerly anticipated Sports Day in the school playground. Throughout the morning, children practiced track events like the egg and spoon race as well as field events like javelin and long jump. In the afternoon, our parents/carers came to show their support for the children while they competed in the finals of each event. It was great to see each class cheering on their house. – Aaron
Year 3 Exhibition and Performance
On Wednesday 29th March, Year Three welcomed parents (and siblings) to see and hear highlights of the year so far. We have packed so much into the last two terms, including learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age, about the UK and hillforts, and Ancient Egypt. ​Our presentation began with a singing performance led by George, and then selected children read poems and stories and extracts from their topic work. Children also demonstrated their times tables knowledge. Parents were able to look at displays of work around the hall and children were able to discuss their learning with all of our visitors.
World Book Day 2023
On this World Book Day, I want to encourage you all to celebrate the joy of reading and the power of books. Books have the amazing ability to transport us to different worlds, teach us new things, and inspire us in countless ways.
Whether you prefer novels, non-fiction, poetry, or graphic novels, there is a book out there for everyone. So take some time today to pick up a book and lose yourself in its pages. And remember, the more you read, the more you know and the more you grow.
Check out the highlights of our celebration at @BenJonsonSchool Youtube channel where we shared our love for reading. Watch the video now and be inspired to pick up your favorite book!
Happy World Book Day!
Reception Welcome Party
Parents joined us for our ‘Welcome to Reception’ party. We had a special guest: The Tiger Who Came To Tea who surprised the children.
Children enjoyed sharing some party food with their parents and friends, and staff enjoyed welcoming our parents to Reception.
A fun afternoon was had by all! – Kerry
Sports Day 2022
This year our KS2 Sports Day was held at Mile End Stadium. Years 3 & 4 in the morning and Years 5 & 6 in the afternoon whilst classes were split into their houses:
Red – Indian Ocean / Blue – Pacific Ocean / Green – Antarctic Ocean / Yellow – Atlantic OceanÂ
Children had fun competing against each other in track events like the egg and spoon and relay race and field events including long jump and javelin. It was great to see the positive encouragement from the children coupled with the support from parents! Much fun was had by all. Thanks – Aaron
KS1 Sports Day was at Ben Jonson School.
This year our Reception and KS1 pupils braved the elements to take part in Sports Day which was held at school. Despite the wet morning, our young pupils participated in track and field events including javelin, long jump and egg and spoon race whilst representing their houses. We were particularly impressed with the attitude and words of encouragement children gave each other when competing – well done!
Also, a huge thank you to all parents that came in the afternoon to cheer on and support the children. Great fun was had by all.
