We came together today to celebrate our love of books and reading! Discussing books, reading books and an opporuntity to review our all-important relationship with books. The more read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you will go. Reading is life's door-opener!
And...Buddy Reading! Everyone’s favourite way to spend the afternoon – reading, listening, losing yourself in a book!
The children have been reflecting on the world of work and employment - what do we want to be when we grow up? The age-old question...

Year 2 have made some beautiful 'Pinched Pots' in Art & Design
During Black History month, the children in Year 3 devised a 'Just Giving' project to raise money for books with diverse voices and authors, along with STEM. Our library has been well and truly upgraded!
'Buddy' from the NSPCC made a visit and the children learned that there is always a trusted adult that they can go to if they have anything they are worried about.
The children in Year 6 made some incredible strutures this week when they designed and made their own Playgrounds. Amazing work!
Year 3 visited the world famous National Gallery where they feasyed their eyes on some of the worlds best artwork (the 'flowers' picture in the background is OK, ins't it?) before taking part in a colour, tone and blending workshop. Great day!
Making better choices helps in a big way!
Odd Socks day was enjoyed by all and helped us mark Anti-Bullying week. It helped us celebrate our differences and to be more accepting.
Year 6 had an amazing time in Pendarren. Wandering the Welsh valleys, learning new skills, bonding and having fun, fun, fun!
The wonderful staff and children have marked the begfinning of Advent with a wonderful liturgy and by decorating the hall beautifully!
This Friday, we all wore Odd Socks to mark Anti-Bullying Week 2021. The theme of the week was ‘One Kind Word’, and our children once again showed that our community is built on, not just one kind word, but thousands! A community of Kindness!
Life saving skills being shared by Class 5.
Sometimes, it's the simple things in life that can bring the most pleasure!
Wow! We will miss you too! Thank you all for the last 8 years and for a lovely message to your teachers.
After a year of interruption, lockdown and relative inactivity, our children joined the brilliant Haringey Public Health initiative 'The Spring Stride'. Designed to blow away the cobwebs of inactivity and to reclaim fitness leves of body and mind, our children threw themselves into it wholeheartedly. It could also be said that Mrs. Kavanagh 'threw' the children into wholeheartedly too, for her enthusiasm, dedication and borderline-obsessive competitiveness was the driving force behind this.
It has been such a success, and such was the commitment, we finished 4th in the borough, winning £250 to spend on sport and PE equipment! Almost enough to buy the Headteacher the new Spurs shirt in the Summer!
A serious well done to everyone who took part and, of course, to Mrs. Kavanagh. I think she has a taste for it now, and when it comes around again (and it will), she will be looking to improve on 4th. You have been warned.

The children from Nursery show us how to be Happy and how to dance!
Nursery shared their 'Sharing Song', as you would expect!
Closing the Assmebly in style!
We always end our assemblies with an upbeat song, and today the children relbelled and politely requested that the Headteacher no be allowed to choose it...how can I argue when it gets them moving like this! Dynamite!
Year 1 in Carnival Mood....
Sheku Kanneh-Mason ZOOMS into SJV Year 3!!
World renowned musician Sheku Kanneh-Mason held a Q&A and a special performance for the children of Year 3 this week. We were privileged to spend time with this wonderfully inspirational person, who has, among many achievements, played in the London Symphony Orchestra and at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle! Starved of class trips due to Covid, we must thank Sam from Aquinas for arranging for Sheku to come to US!
Contained within these seemingly simple 8 Zoom screens is everything we've missed over the last two months; our children, our staff...our school. Welcome back everyone - we're ALL in this TOGETHER!
A lovely tribute to a wonderful book by our girls and boys.
The great Lip Sync challenge - All I Want for Christmas...enjoy!
This timeless tale is retold by the children of SJV!
Footage from my 'SpyCam'! Looks like they take full advantage!
Warning - very poor 'dad' dancing...
And...last but not least, here is the most beautiful show in town! Reception Class lead the way in our final Musical Christmas Card, supported (as ever) by the percussion and vocies of KS2! Just...lovely!
Keeping the spirits up and the smiles on our faces, please welcome Year 2 with 'I Wish it Could be Christmas Every Day'!
Once again, the voices, percussion and brilliance of KS2 help our KS1 stars to shine - sing along, wherever you are!
Dear Parents and Carers, COVID has prevented us from gathering together at school for our traditional Christmas Production…but it hasn’t stopped us from celebrating in our traditional, joyous way!
Please sit back and let Year One, supported brilliantly the voices, percussion and sheer star quality of KS2, spread a little Christmas Cheer!
Year 2 gave us a sneak preview of this year's Christmas performance at our celebration assembly this morning. Really gets you in the spirit!
The children and staff have been busy making the hall look like it normally does this time of year - so Christmassy! Take a look at our wonderful hall boards!
These talented and brave boys and girls have shown the power of poetry in the classroom!
Year 6 have been studying the actions of Paul Stephenson who, in 1963 Stephenson led a bycott of the Bristol Omnibus Company, protesting against its refusal to employ Black or Asian drivers or conductors. After a 60-day boycott supported by thousands of Bristolians, the company backed down. Stephenson is a Freeman of the City of Bristol and was awarded an OBE in 2009.
Year 6 put themselves into the characters of people who were around at that time - they wrote their monologues and performed them for the cameras. Brilliant work!
In Drama we found out about the life and times of Louis Armstrong. We looked at fashion, culture and society in America from 20s – 60s and from this created short scenes containing fictional characters whose lives were directly impacted by Louis Armstrong.
Our children kicked off their return to school with a real fitness burst! They trained for and took part in the Virgin Mini London Marathon. They clealy had a great time, as did their teachers who showed that they are up for anything!
September has arrived at last and we are back! Time to set that alarm again, dust off the old uniform / work clothes and get back where we belong...are you 'I Wanna Break Free' or 'I'm so Excited'??
What a performance. In very, very strange circumstances, Year 6 sign off in style!
Year 6s move on! The end of an odd year...
Transition week, plus the usual stars and birthdays!
Year 1 Return!
Featuring - The Return of the Magnificent 6!
Featuring Ms. Kavanagh's 'Top Tips' for returning Year 6s - so funny! Enjoy...
A special poem from the children this week - the storm will pass!
Once again, a round up of the exciting things you are getting up to with your Home Learning, stars of the week and another e stormgreat Hymn!
Join us to celebrate all that is good about our school! There's plenty to celebrate this week...
