RAF Hendon Trip
The year 6 pupils visited RAF Hendon where they saw REAL planes and bombs from WW2 and also got to experience a workshop in a victorian-style classroom.

Chestnut went on a trip to the Forest Road Youth Hub and took part in a series of seven workshops. They looked at travel safety, road safety, fire safety, dental hygiene, mindfulness and mental wellbeing and other interesting topics. We were so proud of how well the children took part in the workshops and engaged.
They really did Berger proud. They also met the mayor and deputy mayor at the end of the workshop. The children were so excited they all rushed in to the group photo and nearly squashed the mayor haha!
Breaking News!
Children at Berger have been learning about the history of grime music. To help children understand about how this movement grew through illegal raves and club scenes we have a pretend illegal rave at school! Children had to sneak out of class and head down to the studio where DJ Armstrong hosted the party of the century!
We had our first trip to Forest School and had a blast! Making art with wool, building shelters, climbing trees… can’t beat some time out in nature.
Year 6 pupils partnered with a Hackney based charity called ‘Taru’ to create a dance and song to perform in Hackney Carnival! How exciting!
A group of children then volunteered to go and march in the real thing and they all did a fantastic job. Here’s a sneak peek of them in a dress rehearsal for the younger pupils.
Wow! Today we learned a skill that could help to save a person’s life in an emergency. We were lucky enough to be joined by Dr Ali who taught us all the different stages to safely and correctly give CPR in the case of somebody going in to cardiac arrest. We all remembered the stages to start such as checking if the environment was safe and making sure to call 999. We also had a go on a practise dummy which made a noise if we were pressing hard enough.
Every half term we look at a different religion from around our diverse world and chat about our own beliefs too. This half term we looked at how all religions can use art, sculpture and song to express their beliefs, show reverance and inspire awe. We then focussed back on Buddhism and made our own Vesak lanterns. We then drew our own mandalas, and then we made 3D wall plates showing our own inner feelings and thoughts.
The children all worked so hard to do their best in their exams that we thought it only fair they should get a day of freedom. All 57 year six pupils went and enjoyed the sun in Victoria Park. We had a great time, all the children were on fantastic form and Miss Barry said they were the most impressive group of children to ever visit Vicky Park! Well done Chestnut :)
As part of our ongoing Spanish practice the whole school took part in a sharing assembly of what we’ve learned so far. We decided to put all of our knowledge into a video pretending we were giving a weather forecast for Hackney. Feel free to watch our video below and see if you can guess the different weather phenomena happening in Hackney. Enjoy!
