✨ **STEAM Week at SMHP!** ✨

This week, our pupils are getting hands-on with **creative, cross-curricular learning**, bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths together in exciting and practical ways 🧠🎨🔧

Throughout the week, pupils will be designing, building and creating — from **constructing marble runs and designing self-sustaining terrariums** to **exploring materials, forces and ecosystems**, and even using everyday experiences like **food and recipes** to understand scientific change and problem-solving.

They’ll be:
🛠️ Planning, testing and improving their ideas
💻 Using digital tools to research and design
🎨 Combining creativity with functionality
➗ Applying maths through measuring, estimating and reasoning

STEAM Week is all about curiosity, collaboration and confidence — empowering pupils to think deeply, work creatively and see how learning connects to the real world 🌍🚀

🌍💛 World Kindness Day 💛🌍

Today at SMHP we’re celebrating the power of kindness — the small acts that make a big difference. 💬✨

As part of our Anti-Bullying Week, we’re reminding everyone that kindness isn’t just for one day — it’s something we can show every day through our words, actions, and how we treat each other. 💕

Let’s choose respect, empathy, and positivity — because together, we can build a community where everyone feels safe and valued. 💫

🌊💙 Friday 7th November – WEAR BLUE DAY! 💙🌊

This year we are combining our ongoing support for Just One Tree with Plastic Clever Schools to protect our oceans and raise awareness of plastic waste.

The ocean is the cornerstone of Earth’s life support system. It shapes climate and weather and holds the key to our future. 🌍

Kelp is in decline because it struggles to grow in warmer waters, so simply planting more isn’t tackling the real issue. That’s why Just One Tree is focusing on helping nature regenerate kelp forests — supporting lasting change beneath the waves. 🌿🪸

At SMHP, we’ll be taking part in activities to learn how to protect our oceans and make sensible choices about plastic use.

💙 All children and staff will be dressed in blue this Friday to mark the occasion and show our support for a cleaner, healthier planet! 💙

🚨👮‍♂️ A Surprise Visit from the Met Police! 👮‍♀️🚨

Today we had very special visitors at the playground — two amazing constables from the Metropolitan Police zoomed in on their motorbikes and brought huge smiles to everyone’s faces! 🏍️💨

The children were absolutely thrilled to see the flashing lights and hear the roaring engines, but even more excited to hear all about the important work our local constables do to keep our communities safe. 👏💙

They spoke about teamwork, helping others, and how they’re always there when people need them. The kids asked brilliant questions and even got to sit on the bikes (safely, of course 😉)!

A huge thank you to the officers for taking the time to inspire our pupils — who knows, we might have some future police heroes in our midst! 💫
